Selling CG puts for income.
The Carlyle Group (CG) is a private equity company that invests for some of the wealthiest pension funds and endowments.
I love the private equity business model which generates profits by charging management fees, incentive allocations, and by investing the firm’s capital alongside investors. CG is a well respected firm and should be able to grow assets as institutional investors look for areas outside the traditional stock market for building wealth.
By selling the February $49 puts near $2.00, we’re able to collect an annualized yield near 38%, while also giving us roughly $1.00 per share in cushion between the current market price for CG and our strike price.
- Sell (to open) 1 CG February 18th $50 put*
- Limit: $2.00 or more*
- The new position will represent roughly 5.0% of our model.
