Business Wire, April 25, 2005

CHICAGO -- Jeff Carter and his team at the Option Tactics newsletter highlight an option trade for a stock in the food processing space. Take a look at an option for Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM). Click here for the full story exclusively on Zacks.com: http://at.zacks.com/?id=84

Highlights from the April 18th Featured Expert column by Jeff Carter include:

Speculative Put Option to Buy -- Buy Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM) Jun 20 Put. The option target price is $1.30, an 85% profit. The simulated probability of the option reaching its target price is 27%.

Buying a put option is similar to buying a call option. Your risk is the price you pay for the option, nothing more. The difference is that a put option increases in value when the stock price goes down. Put options are best used as "portfolio insurance" to offset possible losses from a stock portfolio in the event of stock or market weakness. You can also take this position with "Las Vegas" money looking to profit from an extended market downturn.
