Starting a business takes a substantial amount of money and effort. However, there
are right and wrong ways to go about lending money to your corporation.
If you want
to lend money to your corporation, you properly document the transaction. If you
give money to your business to purchase inventory and the company defaults on the
loan, you may be qualified to write off the loan as a business bad debt versus and
investment loss. A business bad debt can be offset against other ordinary income
such as W-2 income, interest and dividend income. A business bad debt can result
in creating a net operating loss on your individual return when you don’t have enough
income to offset the business loss.

These are the four essential pieces you need to see the whole picture, to know which option is being discussed, and to distinguish it from all other options. In evaluating risk and potential gain, and even to discuss an option, every buyer and every seller needs to have these four essential pieces of information in hand. Of course, because point of view between buyer and seller is going to be opposite, an advantageous situation to one person may well be disadvantageous to another. That is the nature of investing in options: You can take or the other for any particular option, depending upon advantage lies.

In this example, you trade exposure on 100 shares of stock for exposure on 300 shares, but you avoid or delay exercise as well. At the same time, you net out additional cash profits, which reduces your overall basis in the stock. This makes exercise more acceptable later on. Of course, you can continue to use rolling techniques to avoid exercise. Another important point worth evaluating is the potential tax advantage or consequence. Options are taxed in the year that positions are closed; so when you roll forward, you recognize a loss in the original call transaction, which can be deducted on your current year’s federal income tax return. At the same time, by rolling forward you receive a net payment while deferring profits, perhaps to the following year. However, because the roll forward may involve in-the-money positions, the stock profit may revert to a short-term gain instead of the more favorable long-term gain.
