Rogers stock has been on my watch list since the stock commenced declining from a high of just above $48 back in January. Since then the stock has been in a steady decline. I discussed entering this trade in Rogers Stock last night. Today conditions were ideal and I entered the trade. Many investors believe options are “too risky” when in fact it is stocks that are risky and options are there to assist in reducing and controlling the risk of stock ownership.

Protecting The Capital At Risk

The trade done today is designed completely around using options equally to profit and protect the trade until it is concluded. This is not a long-term trade but instead is built around providing superior returns for a short period which will assist in boosting my entire Canadian portfolio.
