Email of the day on using options in lieu of stops

Thank you for replying to my enquiry yesterday about the use of stop losses. Given your hesitations about them what do you think of the use of a put and call option in a Telsa -like situation?

Eoin Treacy's view

Thank you for this suggestion. I don’t pretend to have any specialist knowledge of options trading. I am however actively researching strategies because it is a tax efficient way of participating in the market from the perspective of a US based investor but I have not yet taken the plunge. I agree option strategies are a potentially useful way of mitigating drawdown risk.
