CRAZY TERMS : Equity as call option

Business  with issues of   high debt , adverse regulatory ruling and  low capacity utilization can be traded similar to call option trading  with huge upside ( when environment improves)  .The added advantage is time premium is zero and probability of price going to zero is also low.

Such business can be bought if it qualifies following condition

1) General economy is under downturn  and min two years has passed since beginning of downturn  . Hence positive revival probability is high

2) Management quality is high grade and in past they have been fair and open about industry and company condition

3) Operating Cash flows are higher than Interest payments


These stocks needs to held for three to five years and hence staying power is critical . Hence one should avoid buying these stocks on margin under all circumstances
