You talked about a potential for equities to crash up, particularly if a red sweep occurs. I’d be interested in option strategies to account for that. For example, if you were going to consider S&P call options, which expiry timeframe and sizing would you prefer? I realize S&P is sitting at all time highs, yet if the trend rides higher, 30% equities could significantly lag vs. e.g. 60%. I wonder if SPY/ES/MES call options may be a good way to hedge for that possibility.
I do like reading a wine list too 🙂
Now, what I want to know is, with our 1M portfolio and its current allocation, what will you do at the end of the day?
Thanks a lot for your views and knowledge.
The “wine list” was for people who asked to see it and wanted hedging ideas over the election. Personally, I don’t want to hedge. Might be right, might be wrong, but I prefer to see what I will be eating first (results) and then order the wine to go with it. So few decent places to put your money at the moment, I am hoping just to avoid the worst for the time being (long duration) and hopefully that gets me a decent dip in equities and commodities to buy. With that in mind, hedging equities as well, would be asking too much from the Market Gods, imho. 🙂

I am preparing something along those lines and will publish probably tomorrow.
Many thanks for the 10/21 options strategy paper. Providing options strategies for a variety of outcomes is greatly appreciated.
Pleasure.

Thanks Nick, that’s what I was after !
