OptionStoa Investment is a private options investment club composed of part-time, retail and professional investors with a passion for options trading. Although our membership is limited, we have opened our web site, OptionStoa.com, to the general public.

Our objectives for the investment club is:

  • Combined investment knowledge. When you work with a group of people who have a similar interest in forming a option investment club you'll be able to have a huge amount of combined knowledge working in your favor. Even those complete newcomers to the option trading will have a valued opinion and pieces of information that when you add it all together equals a lot of thinking power. So long as you have a plan of diplomacy you'll be able to make decisions about where you are going to invest your money in such as way as the choice is of the majority and is based on a great deal of thought. If you are unable to take direction from a group of people that you are working with, then a option investment club may not be for you.
  • Personal risk is low. Even though the money that your option investment club has to invest can be quite large, your own personal contribution can be very minimal. This way you are not risking a lot of your money while you learn how the option market works. You can still make some great investments but your loss factor will be manageable for you. Keep in mind that when your option investment club makes a profit, no matter how small, the amount must be distributed throughout the membership.
  • More room for profit. Recent studies of option investment clubs show that when a group of people make investment decisions after a series of discussions and debates, the potential for profit is greater than when individuals make their own decisions about where and how to invest their money. The internal rate of return (IRR) OptionStoa Investment from January to June 2008 is 57.40%, while Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VFINX) recorded -20.2%.
  • Similar interests. Members of a option investment club enjoy getting together on a regular basis to discuss the investment market and to learn more about a subject that greatly interests them.
  • Invest regularly. Option investment club have the ability to invest in the option market even when the market is dropping or is slow. Because the money in spread out among a group of members the room for huge personal loss doesn't exist.
  • Reinvest. Since most members are part of a option investment club for fun, and to learn more about the option market, there will be more room for reinvesting the gains and dividends that are earned from successful investments. When you invest on your own you won't be as willing to part with earned investment money and reinvest everything that you gain.
  • Spread out investments. When you are investing with a option investment club, you can diversify your investments and not limit yourself to just one or two market choices.
