He would now be very busy, as many ominous events are bounding across the world’s stage.\nThefall of Afghanistanis a potentially destabilizing market event, especially ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S.\nThe resurgence of Covid-19, weakening retail sales, China saber-rattling toward Taiwan, China mocking America’s sloppy Afghanistan withdrawal, andsigns of sticky inflationare all reasons for extra vigilance.\nBut the major event that would most alarm our hero would be the Federal Reserve’smeeting in Jackson Hole, Wyo., at the end of the month. Jerome Powell, the Fed’s chairman, is expected to speak. He is the big, bad wolf of this reimagined story.\nPowell’s speech might offer concrete clues about potential changes to monetary policy—which could pummel stocks.\nWhen interest rates are low, as they are now, investors can move far out on the so-called risk curve. It’s cheap to borrow money and thus relatively easy to make money doing something as simple asbuying dividend-paying stocksand as complex as quantitative trading. With rates low enough, even Bitcoin and emerging market debt can be attractive.\nYet this time, even if the boy who cried wolf is wrong, investors need to be aware that many others will be listening to himahead of expected changes to interest rates.\nStock prices are generally dancing around record highs—a phrase used in this column year after year—as historically low interest rates remain the central defining fact of the market.\nBut it seems that the more investors talk about corrections, or why corrections won’t happen, the bearish narrative prevails, at least for a bit.\nExpectations that something will soon happen to easy-money rates are leading to a burst of hedging activity.\nOne major investor has created a bearish position in theSPDR S&P 500exchange-traded fund (ticker: SPY) that would prove profitable if the stock market fell about 4% by Sept. 3. The investor sold 25,000 September $427 put options and bought 25,000 $440 puts, all expiring on Sept. 3, to cover the Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium from Aug. 26 to Aug. 28.\nThis column has rarely offered a suggestion to hedge portfolios. It has almost always seemed better to us to sell puts to anxious investors and use the proceeds to buy upside call options to profit from stock advances.\nSimilarly, we have been hesitant to recommend stock-replacement strategies. Because low interest rates always seemed the key ingredient in the bull market, there was seldom a strategic reason for selling stocks and buying calls.\nBut now, using upside calls as stock surrogates does indeed seem attractive for anyone who thinks that rates could rise. The strategy is worth pondering for investors with substantial stock profits.\nIf this resonates, review your stocks. Sell enough shares to realize a profit of, say, 50% to 100% on your initial investment. If you sold 500 shares to lock in gains, for example, buy a corresponding number of upside calls that expire in, say, three months. This will buy you just enough time to see how the stock—and the market—performs.\nThe goal is not to be scared of wolves, and to make sure that your appetite for volatility is aligned with your investment timeline.\nSteven M.
