We seek much higher returns than the market. With higher returns comes greater risk. This risk could lead to large drawdowns and losses, especially when using options strategies for investing. We at Broken Investing believe that risk management is critical. So, how do we try to protect our clients’ money?
We typically invest in highly liquid ETFs rather than individual stocks. ETFs are more stable, more diversified, and more predictable.
We invest in longer dated options that have expiration dates at least 80 days out. If our strategy does not lead to our expected gains within two months, we implement an exit strategy to cut losses and find a better investment.
