In the episode, Russ explains what to do now with a Presidential election about 26 days away.   Market indexes are also at or near all-time highs.  What do we do?

Russ covers 5 topics on this episode (or five courses of action) including:

1.) Writing covered calls – at higher (sometimes stretched) prices - OTM (out of money) by 3%-5%.

2.) Selling (or writing) cash backed put options (at a strike price that is 95% of today’s stock price).

3.) Tighten up Stop Loss Orders to 4%-5% down from today’s stock prices. 

4.) Ride out the volatility in diversified long-term ETF’s & 

5.) Go short (by buying long puts) to bet down - the riskiest strategy… but it is a choice.  What Russ discusses what he is doing now.
