We recently rolled out the Investrio Putpicker. It's an optimization tool we developed, that we use to:
-Assess all the available options quickly for a particular stock,
-Ensure the premium exceeds our target,
-Ensure the downside protection from the current stock price to the option strike price exceeds our target,
-Measure how much downside risk exists from the option strike price to the stock's multi-year low,
-Ensure the return exceeds our target, and
-Compare the impact of short-term vs. long-term capital gains tax rates on our return.
