Hourly Financial Advice for DIY Investors


A large percentage of the Steady Options community consists of do it yourself (DIY) investors who prefer to manage their own trading and long-term investing accounts. This is a great way to gain firsthand experience about how markets work, but at times it may be beneficial to get professional input on investing and other personal financial planning decisions.

For those who already work with a financial advisor, hourly advice can be a great way to also get a second opinion on the advice and account management you’re already receiving.

 

At Lorintine Capital our primary business model is to manage client accounts for a monthly fee, but we also provide the option of hourly advice for DIY investors who prefer to get professional guidance and/or a second opinion while still retaining control over their own accounts. By offering both service models we are able to help a wider segment of the population who can receive professional advice in different ways.

 

There are a number of important decisions we all have to make in order to maximize the odds of reaching our long-term financial goals. Below are a few must answer questions to consider getting advice on.

  1. Should I pay off debt or invest?
  2. Should I contribute to Traditional or Roth accounts?
  3. What investments should I select in my 401k?
  4. Should I rent or buy a home and how much can I afford?
  5. Should I buy or lease a car and how much can I afford?
  6. How much should I hold in cash and where should I keep it?
  7. How much of my portfolio should I commit to trading vs. investing?
  8. Should I buy and hold or try to beat the market?
  9. How much do I need to retire and how long will it take to get there?
  10. Should I invest in real estate and other alternatives?
  11. What types and amounts of insurance do I really need?
  12. Are annuities a good idea for me?
  13. Which employee benefits should I sign up for at work?
  14. How should I save for my kid’s college?
  15. How often should I rebalance my portfolio?
  16. When should I claim Social Security?
  17. Do I need a will? A trust?
  18. How should I designate my account beneficiaries?
  19. What strategies can help minimize my taxes?
  20. Should I convert my IRA to a Roth?

Everyday at Lorintine Capital Chris Welsh and I help clients make informed financial decisions customized to their specific situation that extend well beyond investing. If you would like to have a conversation with either of us, please send an email to info@lorintinecapital.com and our assistant Meagan will reach out to coordinate a time for a no obligation 15 minute phone call.

  • SPX Options vs. SPY Options: Which Should I Trade?

    Trading options on the S&P 500 is a popular way to make money on the index. There are several ways traders use this index, but two of the most popular are to trade options on SPX or SPY. One key difference between the two is that SPX options are based on the index, while SPY options are based on an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the index.

  • Yes, We Are Playing Not to Lose!

    There are many trading quotes from different traders/investors, but this one is one of my favorites: “In trading/investing it's not about how much you make, but how much you don't lose" - Bernard Baruch. At SteadyOptions, this has been one of our major goals in the last 12 years.

  • The Impact of Implied Volatility (IV) on Popular Options Trades

    You’ll often read that a given option trade is either vega positive (meaning that IV rising will help it and IV falling will hurt it) or vega negative (meaning IV falling will help and IV rising will hurt).   However, in fact many popular options spreads can be either vega positive or vega negative depending where where the stock price is relative to the spread strikes.

  • Please Follow Me Inside The Insiders

    The greatest joy in investing in options is when you are right on direction. It’s really hard to beat any return that is based on a correct options bet on the direction of a stock, which is why we spend much of our time poring over charts, historical analysis, Elliot waves, RSI and what not.

  • Trading Earnings With Ratio Spread

    A 1x2 ratio spread with call options is created by selling one lower-strike call and buying two higher-strike calls. This strategy can be established for either a net credit or for a net debit, depending on the time to expiration, the percentage distance between the strike prices and the level of volatility.

  • What Is Delta Hedging?

    Delta hedging is an investing strategy that combines the purchase or sale of an option as well as an offsetting transaction in the underlying asset to reduce the risk of a directional move in the price of the option. When a position is delta-neutral, it will not rise or fall in value when the value of the underlying asset stays within certain bounds.
