      @@tellurium96 I broke down my studies in the order of CFA Level II topics that Dr. Meldrum prescribes in his videos. I have a whiteboard where for each topic I'll lay out *day-by-day* the readings/video lectures/notes/practice problems I need to do. I insert a good deal of "break" days either for actual breaks or to act as shock absorbers if I fall behind, say three break days per month.
      Periodically I'll re-write whatever portion I have left for each topic to re-calibrate/re-adjust what's remaining, all with a realistic eye of finishing on time per the schedule I originally prescribed myself.
      This way I'll have gone through everything thoroughly by, say, mid-October and have way more than the minimum recommended four weeks to review. The postponement of the exam came as a blessing to me, I would absolutely have NOT been ready for June.

    This video was awesome. Super interesting to not just hear your opinions on markets, but to also hear what strategies you use based on those opinions, how to adjust if the market is moving against you.
    I also really like how you talk about options, and say why you buy them at X strike and Y expiry. During my undergrad, it was a lot of "here is what a call is, and here's why you would want to buy/sell them, and here's how to value them", with little guidance on when you should consider ITM/ATM/OTM, when you'd prefer certain expiration dates over others etc.

    Very insightful and priceless Dr.Mark, thanks so much! It's a shame that non-EU countries from Eastern Europe (i.e. my homecountry of Serbia) are too constrained with the extraordinary trading fees through various platforms, some of which are even affiliated with Interactive Brokers. This is especially true for the options, with the usurious fees and demotivation of even trying to think about various option strategies! I have a huge problem implementing my CFAI knowledge due to mentioned reasons. Alternatively, if we want to open account directly on IB, there are problems with foreign transfers and withdrawals, which are again, ultimately complicated and expensive.

    This video really made a lot of things click for me. Have watched it several times and it is surely one of the most valuable videos I've ever watched. Thanks very much Dr Mark.
    I do have a question if you ever come back to these old comment sections: Would it still be wise to use puts to add positions in a small-mid sized retail portfolio (say $50-100k)? For instance if I was into the tech sector and I wanted to add an AAPL position, selling a put and getting put the 100 shares at say, $175, would use almost 20% of the account's capital. I could just purchase shares but then I lose out on premium, or I could target lower priced stocks, but then I feel like I'm not really targeting the stocks I'd want to own most.

    Thanks for the video Professor. Would request you to provide some insights / video as to how do you structure a portfolio - number of stocks , weightages and drawdown acceptable and when to book profit. Do we grow the corpus size or book a percent of the profit and balance reinvest? Have read about all this but in actual practise have not found any great leads on this matter.. basically the end goal is to beat the benchmark but how to manage that consistently?? Would be of immense help if you could guide on this matter! And thanks for the great work you provide!

Also, I think psychology plays an even bigger role than I read about right now. There are a HUGE number of people who are totally unaware about how the market functions (including me, till a while back) and I actually feel that herd mentality is understimated.
      I am realizing slowly that there is a LOT to learn in this field, and tbh it excites me.

    2. I am interested to know why a mortgage REIT would trade at a premium or a discount to Tangible Book Value at certain times. Would you have a video on this or any book recommendations on the REIT sector that would touch on this also?

    Mark, thank you for taking the time to share your strategy with the markets. I was wondering if we could get your thoughts on the popularity of technical analysis and CFAI concluding that it isn't really a proven alpha generation methodology. The other question I had was, are you selling naked calls and puts or do you always own the underlying? I know alot of brokers don't allow the naked option strategy.

    • @MarkMeldrum
      @MarkMeldrum  4 роки тому +3

      I typically own the underlying to sells the calls, unless I am engineering a synthetic short on a name. Naked puts however. But if they are put to me I have the ability to buy them. I typically never sell more than 40bps or 50bps in put premium against equity value. So $100K in equities for example, I will sell up to $500 in put premium per month.

    Mark, do you also use more complex options such as strangles, staddles, butterflies etc? Or do you stick to the basics i.e. calls/puts? By the way, do you only SELL options, or also buy?

    Always enjoy a nice long video on how to implement. Could you recommend any websites to keep up to date with REIT info/transactions?
