Neutral Market Strategy
Market Neutral trading is an options trading strategy for clients who are neutral to moderately bullish. This strategy predominantly focuses on "naked put writing". These "puts" are written on stocks the Company feels are undervalued and have growth/upside potential. This strategy generates income in the event the "put" expires. On occasion, the "put" will be assigned, thus creating a purchase of the underlying stock.
Gooding Capital Management, LLC would then write a "covered call" option. The strategy allows clients to participate in the movement of an underlying optioned security, whether it is a stock or index, at a fraction of the cost of buying or selling the actual security. In addition, this system is ideal for clients who do not wish to sell their large concentrated equity positions, but would like to generate additional income in exchange for assuming some risk.
