This started off as a conversation about dividend yielding stocks, but there were other concepts I had in mind beyond the scope of that conversation. As a result I thought it best to start a new thread to discuss paper trading of options contracts for max profit and/or to generate yield. An important topic at this time, as it seems we're heading into an increasingly inflationary environment. Many are likely to become unable to outrun it and should likely prepare for ways to beat the inflation monster.
An ounce of silver(31.1 grams) currently costs VES 46,283,854.44(Venezuelan Bolivars). ...and that's after a couple currency resets already to lop off zeroes...extend and pretend.
First and foremost, this is not intended as an alternative to PM stacking or other preps. Rather I see this kind of activity is a way(potentially) to do more of the things necessary to defend yourself financially. Inflation really will eat your lunch if you're not ready for high inflation, stagflation, or even hyperinflation. The typical stocks and bonds are not going to cut it...and eventually neither will anything in derivatives...you'll eventually want to convert your fiats into tangibles. No doubt many here have been doing that for some while, but more is generally better right?
It is, imo, an inflection point in equity markets where we are seeing the beginning of a move away from risky overpriced "tech stuff" to more traditional value plays. The bond market is not a fun place after the death of the 40+ year bond bull, so where to go? Well, I believe the way to keep up with what's coming to a debt dollar near you is good old PM miners, streamers, explorers, royalty companies, and PM/commodity related ETFs. That's why this thread is going to focus on strategies to stack these things as deep as possible and possibly combine it with some income generating option strategies on the side.
First a list of some PM related companies I have on a short list to target as soon as I believe the mass migration into PMs is underway in earnest. Please feel free to chime in with other companies, ETFs, etc that you feel belong on the list.
WPM(Wheaton) ; OR(Osisko) ; FNV(Franco-Nevada) ; RGLD(Royal Gold) ; SAND(Sandstorm) ; MMX(Maverix) ; EXK(Endeavor) ; AG(First Majestic) ; SILJ(Silver juniors) ; SIL(Silver miners) ; URNM(Uranium ETF) ; GDX(Gold miners) ; GDXJ(Gold juniors). Those are the some I like off the top of my head. I envision mostly option positions hedged and otherwise, but there may be some stock positions as well. I do not believe MMX, for instance, is option-able.
