Option Reports

When it comes to making money in the market sometimes it takes more than a near magical ability to pick the right stocks. How many times have you ridden a hot stock up only to see it crash a few months or even years later? This is not uncommon. Many investors use the wrong strategy and it can cost them big.

You need to the right strategy to have a chance to rack up consistent gains in the market and our Options Reports could be a valuable tool you can use to improve the performance of your portfolio picks.

Every trading day the Investors Observer Options Reports cover up to seven hundred of the most widely-held stocks. Each report compares the potential profits and risks involved when using three different strategies: 1) Buying the stock, 2) Using a covered call, or 3) using a calendar spread to play the stock.

Each of these strategies has unique strengths and weaknesses and that’s why we use informative charts, tables, and our exclusive “Key” risk ranking to help you decide which strategy makes the most sense for you.  The Key risk ranking assigns a one (most risky) to five (least relative risk) risk indicator for each trade as a quick reference for the relative risk each trade. 

The stocks used in these reports come from the following Investors Observer lists:
