4 Market Update SPX +3% YTD.VIX back to summer 2014 levels. January weakness saw outflows from US equity markets into Europe. February was the best month for the S&P 500 index since Treasuries had their worst month since October Nasdaq touching 15 year highs. US markets stuck in tight trading range of 3% since April European markets continue to see inflows on ECB stimulus + weaker euro. DAX index is 15% YTD. Manage Risk! Avoiding the storm by raising cash levels and/or making the necessary adjustments to options strategies in your portfolio. Most obvious adjustment during early-to-mid October correction for bullish options positions was to roll down strikes, ie; bull put spreads to recover premium. Source: Interactive Brokers 4

7 Using SPY ETF options as a vehicle for income Vertical Spreads Creates defined-risk, defined-reward scenario Buy one option, sell another Same underlying Same expiration Different strike prices Established as a credit spread (premium received on opening transaction) 7
8 The SPY ETF Iron Condor month-to month Sell to open an OTM Put Spread Sell to open an OTM Call Spread Creates a net credit to the portfolio Maximum premium retained where both spreads expire OTM all 4 legs have zero value you keep all of the premium. Time decay is your friend every day matters between opening transaction date and expiry. Establish both spreads at similar strike distances on 1:1 ratio. (Sell 1 call spread for every 1 put spread). Remember: you are SELLING TO OPEN with this strategy. 8
9 How do I position myself with strike selection on SPY ETF? Strike selection ultimately depends on what my monthly income target will be and how sensitive I am to daily price moves on the S&P 500 index. If I want to set a monthly target of 5% on capital, I look at where I can position strikes for the OTM put spread below the market, and with the OTM call spread above the market. This is about STAYING AWAY from ATM on the SPY. I focus on what premiums are available between 5 10% OTM strikes on SPY (below and above the current market). 9
10 Targeting 5% monthly income the specifics I sell 5% SPY OTM Put Spread + Sell 5% OTM Call Spread The maximum risk is the $2 maximum spread value on both the put and call spread at expiry. With a net credit above $0.20c, my premium received equates to 5% of maximum value of both spreads. My price range will be a maximum 5% decline in the SPY, or a 5% rally in the SPY. I am neither bearish nor bullish. 10
11 What is my risk/return profile? Receiving a credit of $0.20 means I have significant risk if the S&P 500 index moves more than 5% in either direction during the period for which I hold the position. I am accepting a lower return on risk in exchange for higher probability of retaining the premium of $0.20 per contract. If the S&P 500 index moves significantly in one direction, I will need to look at buying back to close either my OTM put spread or OTM call spread, and then letting the other position expire OTM. My maximum risk is $2.00 per contract plus commissions, as this is the maximum value at expiry if both legs of the spread are ITM. 11
12 Notes on the SPY condor strategy 5% is my monthly target but in some months I may have to accept less than this if either side of the condor (OTM put or call spread) have to be bought back for more premium than I received.) To achieve a 5% monthly target, it may be possible to establish the condor that is >6% OTM on both sides. An increase in Implied Volatility (IV) in SPY ETF options will work to my benefit as higher IV means higher premiums. It is not always best to establish both sides of the condor on the same day I look at price swings in the S&P 500 index over 2-3 days and I try to open my credit spreads on a dip or a rally. The maximum risk is $2.00 per contract plus commissions, as this is the maximum value at expiry if both legs of the spread are ITM. 12
13 Alternative vehicle to SPY IWM ETF IWM ETF Russell 2000 index ETF, represents the small-cap index. Similar structure to SPY ETF 2015 range on IWM is currently $114 $128 Can I run a 5% monthly condor strategy with this price range? I think about strike selection on both sides and whether I could move further out than 5% with my strike selection to achieve my monthly income target. Source: Interactive Brokers 13
14 Notes on Credit Spreads The credit spread strategy is profitable if the underlying security price is above the higher strike of an OTM Put Spread and conversely below the lower strike of an OTM Call Spread at expiry. Can be established in one transaction, but always at a credit (net cash inflow). Maximum loss generally occurs where underlying security price moves the direction that makes both strikes of the credit spread ITM at expiry. If both options expire out-of-the-money with no value, the entire premium received on the opening transaction is retained (minus the commissions). 14
15 Key points to consider for risk/return in 2015 I don t allow one specific event or price move to seriously affect my options portfolio! I avoid company-specific risk particularly on earnings reports. I evaluate my monthly objectives for returns. Is my strike selection and strategy still going to allow me to achieve that? I keep a small basket of underlying securities in my portfolio I am not here to be a stock-picker. There is an advantage to working with a professional, particularly on managing risk. 15
