    Research, today were reviewing our recently
    published article

5
  • Finding Value With Options Trading

6
  • There are many different reasons to invest in
    stocks. For example, some buyers are looking for
    growth, others income. Ultimately everyone is
    looking to make money but how we get there is
    clearly open to interpretation.

7
  • One popular method of investing is value
    investing. That is, when investors look for an
    undervalued stock to purchase which is expected
    to gain relative to other stocks.

8
  • Of course, there are many reasons a stock may
    become undervalued. So, investors need to
    determine which undervalued companies are likely
    to regain value in the not-too-distant future.

9
  • The biggest advantage of value investing is it
    has years of statistical backing in its favor.
    Over the last 100 years or so, buying undervalued
    stocks has pretty consistently led to better
    gains than a standard index buy and hold strategy.

10
  • So where does options trading come in?

11
  • Lets look at an example.
  • Heres the chart of MOS

13
  • Mosaic MOS is a perfect example of a value
    stock. The fertilizer giant is an 11 billion
    company with over 1 billion in profits for year.
    Nevertheless its trading at just 9.7x earnings
    cheap by any comparison.

14
  • As you can see, MOS was trading relatively
    sideways for most of the year but then fell off a
    cliff during the August correction. While many
    stocks have regained lost ground since then, MOS
    has not, and remains near 52-week lows.

15
  • Whether you believe Mosaic is going to go back up
    soon or not, its hard to argue the stock doesnt
    provide value at these levels.

16
  • So what are the benefits to using options?

17
  • As long as your time horizon is two years or
    less, theres really no reason to ignore options
    when value investing. Like most other scenarios,
    options provide leverage and flexibility you
    cant get with standard stock buying.

18
  • For instance, buying value stocks is a great
    opportunity to use bullish call spreads. As a
    reminder, a bull call spread is a type of debit
    spread.

19
  • In this case, youre buying a call and
    simultaneously selling an OTM call against it in
    the same expiration. Because it costs money,
    its a debit spread.

20
  • While long call spreads cost money, they cost
    less than buying an outright call. This lowers
    your risk, while still giving you the potential
    to earn outsized returns.

21
  • Call spreads work well with value investing
    because there tends to be a defined exit point.
    That is, you believe your undervalued stock has a
    point it needs to reach to regain a more
    reasonable value.

22
  • For MOS for instance, you can see that the stock
    isnt likely to climb above the 44-46 range it
    was trading in for the most of the year. That
    gives us a very easy upper end to a potential
    call spread.

23
  • Since you have a ceiling on your value stock, you
    arent likely giving up potential returns by
    selling the upper strike. Thats the level you
    would have sold your stock/call at regardless.

24
  • As such, it makes perfect sense to lower you call
    trade cost by using a spread. In other words,
    youre getting even more value out of your value
    investing by using options.
