These Flu Season Stocks are on Sale
by Ian Cooper

With flu season nearing, it’s time to get flu shots and try your best to avoid germs.

As anyone with a respiratory system will tell you, flu season isn’t fun.

However, as any investor holding pharmacy and flu-related, coughing-sniffling remedy stocks will tell you it’s one of the best times of the year.

For the 2023-2024 season, the CDC estimated 40 million illnesses, 470,000 hospitalizations, and 28,000 deaths. For the 2024-2025 season, the CDC estimated 9.3 million to 41 million illnesses, 120,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations, and 6,300 to 52,000 deaths. For the 2025-2026 season, cases are mounting.

In fact, the current flu season is off to a rough start.

According to ABC News:

“The CDC estimates there have been at least 7.5 million illnesses, 81,000 hospitalizations and 3,100 deaths from flu so far this season. Five more pediatric deaths were reported this week, bringing the total to eight this season.”

“At least 20 states are now seeing ‘very high’ respiratory illness activity including Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee.”

It’s just one of the many reasons to consider dividend-paying stocks like Clorox (CLX).

Mini-Option Benefits

Hedge Against Loss

Options are often used as a way to hedge against losses on the equity shares that an investor owns. If the overall market is going through a correction period and is heading down or if the equity has received some bad news and looks like it will pullback for a short period of time, the investor often would like to purchase a put option as protection.

A put option increases in value as the equity price drops. This way as the price of the equity drops, the price of the put increases and offsets a portion of the equity’s loss.

Until Mini-Options came along, if an investor owns 30 shares of Apple, Inc.’s (AAPL) stock, he had to purchase a put contract that covered 100 shares of Apple’s stock. This tied up 3+ times the money actually needed to protect the shares he owned, but also increased the risk more than 3 times if the put option was to be exercised at expiration.

Covered Calls

Another technique that investors use as an income source is to sell options against the stocks they own. If an investor owns 55 shares of Amazon (AMZN), and wants to earn a monthly income from those shares, he might sell a call option against them and the premium for that option would be added to his account.

First Things First

Happy Holidays, or as I more accurate really like to say it; Happy the Holidays are Over! I’m not trying to steal anyone’s joy. But I’m looking forward to things getting back to normal. If there is such thing as a normal nowadays.

This Friday will be the First Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) Report taking place on the First Friday of the month in over four months. That is, if you count Friday, January 9 as the First Friday. I understand January 2 is unquestionably the first Friday of the month, but being so close to the Holidays even if there wasn’t a Government Shutdown, this NFP Report was going to be a week late anyway.

I’m hoping that going forward with this Government Report, things will get back in rhythm. Understand this is the first big Data Drop that the Federal Reserve will have a chance to look at to set the tone for Short-Term Interest Rate Cuts going forward into 2026 and beyond.
