For ex. in following nifty option chain for sept., Writing 8500 put as much close to expiry ( 1 or 2 days) as possible and earn whatever little (10-12 rupee) premium is there till premium goes to zero at expiry - https://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/option_chain/optionKeys.jsp " i see this as unnecessary risk and risk to reward is not that great.. on normal expiry ( like no big events are there ) , 3% OTM call or put might trade for 4 or 5 rs .. approximately we might get 600 to 800rs per 1L locked margin.. once in a while there might be a bigger swing which will give us huge losses i prefer to sell options on stocks , but i dont sell nifty or bank nifty options ( from my exp index option are comparatively cheaper, so its better to buy ATM options on index ) randomGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we have more than 10L to play with , writing is safer than futures too I don't write at the money options and usually i hold it for max 2 or 3 days ( if i do based on events like results ).. If we write properly when volatility is expected to drop , we make money even if we predict the direction of the mkt wrong .. Like after results , bhel moved from 135 to 160.. Next day bhel corrected a bit and closed arnd 155 .. Cost of 140 put was less than theb previous day.. Nice . I agree with money in hand , writing is definitely a better strategy , you need to be little more careful not to over expose yourself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jusarrived Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The market just yawns at the rate cut . Some of the analysts saying there will be a further 50-75 bp rate cuts are just dreaming . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any major dips I will add more , especially Marico . Recent investments : TVS motors and RBL Bank . Very small investment in RBL at the moment , bought it ~298 . Good asset quality , very low NPA's and the growth has been impressive in past few years . They are expanding fast , this may not necessarily be a good thing . Strong Management . I havent found many reasons not to buy this stock . it looks good for mid term as well imo . I think I will add some more between 295 -300 and more if it dips to ~270 . Shree Pushkar ( CMP 119 ) : Almost 70% revenues comes from Dye intermediates and rest from Fertilizers , cattle feeds etc . The company evolved from Chemical Trading in early 90s to Manufacturing , so a relative late entrant . They are moving up the value chain , have added capacity . Claim to be a zero waste company . Impressive revenue growth in last 3-4 years , FY17 onwards the top line growth is expected to be higher . Risk : China clamping down on some of the Dye intermediate/ Chemical companies due to environmental concerns was one of the reasons the focus is moved to India which is the second biggest source for these products . There is actually a shortage of supply and thus he prices of these products spiked up 2-3 times in last one year . so you will notice a sudden revenue jump in most of the companies in this sector . There is no other alternative as its banned in all the developed countries . There is also a massive demand in the domestic market . I dont expect India to take similar actions , but keeping on eye on China . The stock has been range bound in past 3-4 months . I started accumulating ~100 and my average price is 109 . I dont see a big downside for this stock from current levels . May need to be patient with it . CMP is 182 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
