A very clear example happened today about the benefits of coated stakes.. Yesterday in a previous post I listed the Covered Colas I bought. Среди них был ticker WFM. Today he fell at once on 5%. If there were only stocks, then the floating loss would already be 477 dollars or 5% of the amount involved. But since colas were sold, then they made a profit on the fall 456 dollars and the total loss is equal to only 21 dollars. I.e, if at this point it would have been planned to close by the stop, то даже несмотря на 5% the fall, closing the whole position, almost nothing to lose. And if there were only shares, you would lose 477 dollars or 5 % from positions. Besides, the position itself is cheaper by the amount of the premium received, than if you were just buying shares.
At the top of the offer, at the bottom options. Shares in the red -$477, а опционы +$456
