How To Buy McDonald's At A Big Discount

How To Buy McDonald's At A Big Discount by Marcus Haber, Editor Have you ever wanted to buy a stock but thought, "Not now, the price is too high?"  I certainly have.  Sometimes waiting works out and the stock drops to a more attractive price.  But other times, the stock just keeps moving higher and I miss out on some nice profits. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to buy stocks at below market prices? If you think so, I've got some good news for you... -------------Sponsor------------- Critical Warning Number Six Something very big will happen in America within the next 180 days.  It will be more devastating than the credit crisis of 2008.  For most people, it will hit them like a brick wall.  It will touch Americans harder and deeper than anything else since the Great Depression.  Our first five predictions have already come true.  We feel so strongly about this that we've put together a controversial video, "Critical Warning Number Six."  Be the first to watch it here now! ------------------------------------ There's an investment strategy that can help you get stocks at the price you want to pay.  What's more, this strategy can also put money in your pocket immediately. I'll tell you all about it in a second... but first, a little background. The strategy involves using options to buy stock.  It's not widely used by the average investor, but it should be.  The problem is most people think options are too complicated. But I'm going to change that... at least for this exciting option strategy.  And soon you'll never have to pay full price for a stock again! The strategy I'm talking about is... selling put options. Here are some of the basics to get started... First, you've got to do your research and find a stock you want to buy.  It should be a stock that you wouldn't mind owning even if the price drops significantly.  Blue Chip stocks are usually good for this strategy. Once you have the stock, you'll need to figure out what price you're willing to pay for it, preferably a price below the current market price. Don't be afraid to choose a price that's 10% or even 15% below the stock's current market price. Next, you're going to need to pick a timeframe for the trade. Remember, every option contract has an expiration date.  Any time prior to expiration, your put option can be exercised by the buyer.  If that happens, you'll have to buy 100 shares immediately. Let's be clear, when you sell a put option, you don't have any say when you'll have to buy your shares.  Only the buyer of the put option has that choice.  The seller must buy the shares as soon as the option buyer exercises the put.  So, make sure you always have enough money in your account to buy the 100 shares. Getting back to timeframes... I like to use four months to a year.  I've found these time periods usually offer the best risk/reward profile.  And more importantly, they tend to offer the highest option premiums. Ok, now you've got your stock, the timeframe for the trade, and the price you're willing to pay. Sounds good... let's see how the strategy works! To make this easier to understand, I'm going to use a real world example.  Let's say you want to buy shares of McDonald's (MCD). Right now the stock is trading at $92 a share.  But you decide $85 is the most you feel comfortable paying over the next four months. Here's how you make your trade... First, sell one March 2012 put option with a strike price of $85 for $2.50 a share.  Since each put contract controls 100 shares, you'll be collecting $250.  Your account will show you've sold one put contract and your cash balance is higher by $250. You're trade is on, now you just need to wait for McDonald's stock to approach $85. But hold on, as expiration approaches, some interesting scenarios can play out. If March expiration passes and McDonald's is still trading for $92 a share, you're sitting pretty.  The put option you sold expires and you get to keep the $250 premium as pure profit.  That's a 3% yield on the cash you were holding to buy the stock!  In addition, if you did this every four months, that would be a 12% annual yield. Let's face it... you're certainly not going to earn 12% interest from your bank right now. Now you can sell another put option on McDonald's and collect more premium.  And you can continue to capitalize as long as your put options keep expiring worthless. As you can see, you can use this strategy over and over to keep generating income. But here's the best part... Let's assume McDonald's is trading at just under $85 a share, say $84, at expiration.  Now you're obligated to buy 100 shares of McDonald's at $85.  Again, no worries!  You're still ok.  After buying your 100 shares of McDonald's and then subtracting the premium you collected for the sale of the put option ($85-$2.50), you now own McDonald's at a price of $82.50. Do you see what just happened?  You saved 10% on your purchase of McDonald's shares. Now you have one more choice to make... You can immediately turn around and sell your McDonald's shares for $84, a quick $150 profit.  Or you can just go ahead and keep them to maintain a long position in a solid Blue Chip stock. No question about it, selling put options is a simple, versatile options strategy.  Not only can you use this strategy to generate recurring income, you can use it to buy shares of good, quality companies at discounted prices. However you choose to use the put selling strategy, it's a powerful tool for boosting returns!
