description: "When investing in such a company, you need to consider it from a time horizon of at least four to five years. This stock, when the overall market is good, it doesn't rise as much as the market; when the market is bad, it might fall less than the market. But the good and bad periods I'm talking about here are measured in years. For example, in these past few years when the market has been good, this thing hasn't kept up, which is perfectly normal.However, if you expect the overall market might experience a correction lasting from a few months to a few years in the coming years, but you can't be sure if it will actually correct, nor when it might happen, and you don't want to miss out on the gains of these years, then buying some of this as a substitute can prevent you from missing the rally and give you more peace of mind when the market goes down.So I've never understood buying out-of-the-money "long" calls with only a few months to expiry here 🤔. It's speculation, but the underlying choice is also quite odd. Unless it's someone like Value Guy (I think he must have an extremely low position)."

- **脆皮大学牲 · 2026-04-20T16:15:28.000Z · 👍 1**: Actually, my logic is pretty much the same. I don't want to hold cash directly, but I'm bearish, so I use this as a hedge. The only thing is, mine is the underlying stock, and its volatility is almost no different from holding cash😂
