Here's a High-Risk, High-Reward Way to Play MicroStrategy Stock

[Option Beast]( 08/28/2021   |   [View in browser]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Here's a High-Risk, High-Reward Way to Play MicroStrategy Stock]( If the perpetually record-high stock market excites you, and you believe that buy-the-dip is a legitimate investment strategy that will always drive prices, say hello to MicroStrategy. The stock has everything that extremely aggressive investors like. The price is so high that it seems to levitate above the market. Part of the magic is that the company is a quasi-proxy for Bitcoin, which excites people eager for cryptocurrency opportunities. MicroStrategy is not the type of stock that normally appears in this column, and it may annoy regular readers who prefer more strategic investments with less risk. But MicroStrategy's options have something worth considering for aggressive investors: big premiums. In fact, MicroStrategy's September $660 put that expires on Sept. 3, was recently trading around $17.74. In other words, anyone willing to buy the stock at a lower price can get paid a hefty sum for selling cash-secured puts and agreeing to buy the stock at a lower price. Is this trade risky? Absolutely. It might be one of the riskiest trades in this column in years. But the potential to pocket such a large premium over a short period will probably appeal to aggressive traders.

Ford (NYSE:F) is up an incredible 89%, while General Motors (NYSE:GM) isn't far behind, up 68%. The ongoing global push to incentivize sales of fuel-efficient vehicles has revived these Detroit automakers, and their share performances represent this investor optimism. Both Ford and GM have significantly outperformed what I believe to be a superior auto stock, and that is O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:ORLY). The leading auto parts retailer is fundamentally a better company than the car manufacturers. Let me explain why.

That creates an incredible strain as people scramble to cover basic expenses like food and housing as well as monthly bills and everyday expenses, even if the reduction in income is temporary. Having a sense of your budget and avoiding procrastination is the key to doing well post-pay cut, says certified financial planner Manisha Thakor, founder of MoneyZen, a financial educational consultancy in Portland, Oregon.
