• Options Trading Strategies To Avoid For 2016

6

• Hard to believe but 2016 is right around the
  corner. While the financial markets dont really
  care what calendar year it is, we as investors
  tend to like to group market conditions by the
  year.

7

• For instance, 2015 will most likely be the year
  of tepid growth and higher volatility. It was
  generally sideways trade this past year, except
  for the late August correction and subsequent
  rebound.

8

• So what kind of year will 2016 be? What sorts of
  options strategies are we going to focus on?
  Thats a question for another time. This time
  around, were going to look at what not to do.

9

• So what options trading strategies should we
  avoid?

10

• First take a look at this chart of the SP 500
  SPX over the last year

• The chart of the SP 500 shows what I was just
  discussing. The index has mostly been trading in
  a fairly consistent, sideways range. We had the
  big August selloff with the roughly 2 month
  recovery.

13

• Now, it looks like were right back to the range
  from earlier in the year. Given the economic and
  geopolitical conditions worldwide, I believe we
  can expect more sideways action in 2016 with
  occasional bouts of higher volatility.

14

• As such, one of the first things to avoid is
  being overly short volatility. Yes, shorting
  volatility is a time-tested successful options
  strategy. Still, youll need to be more careful
  over the next year than in past years given all
  the variables.

15

• So what other options strategies should we
  consider?

16

• Related to the point above, 2016 could be a good
  year to actually buy options. Now, that doesnt
  mean you should ignore a good income strategy
  like covered calls.

17

• (As a reminder, a covered call trade is selling a
  call against a long stock position. The trade is
  maximized if the stock price is right at the
  short call strike upon expiration. For a
  refresher on covered calls basics, follow the
  link.)

18

• However, strategically buying underpriced calls
  and puts could be a successful strategy this year
  given the added volatility and choppiness. As
  always, youll have to do your homework before
  making any trading decisions.

19

• But, this should be a better year than most to be
  long options. Finally, I would tend to avoid
  bullish strategies on oil and gold. Oils supply
  glut means were not likely going to see a major
  increase in price this year.

20

• And, as long as the dollar is super strong, gold
  isnt going anywhere. Of course, make sure you do
  your research before making any options trades.
  And, dont be afraid to alter your strategies
  when the facts change.
