Focus aka non-Diversification

Updates on the previous short-put/long-LEAP-call strategy.

New thoughts:
  • Reduce the number of positions; concentrate on a handful where there is a high level of confidence
  • Forget the short Puts idea; it only adds distractions
  • Focus on a few, specific underlying stocks
  • Each of the underlying must have some special advantage, that's not widely known: new device, new technology, or new leadership
  • The underlying must also be in an industry that has a global growth trend; e.g. for now, mobile-web, healthcare (e-Prescribing, e-Records)
