Yeah, people keep parroting that point.  Have they seriously not noticed that Google just changed what happens when you search to LLM response PLUS the search results?  It’s great and was always obvious to me it’d be a simple adaptation for them. I have a big Google allocation and am only thinking of increasing it now.  They’re doing great.

I have been DCAing many mineral mining stocks like HL, CDE, AEM and the like. Recently got into energy ETFs like PHO and VDE. also WM is always good to DCA in my opinion. That said, I decided to sell all my tech stock (42 NVDA and AMD, RIGHT before the AMD spike over $200=(....... But I moved a lot of that capital into my Robinhood account where I've been DCAing all those I mentioned (and some I didn't) PLUS selling options on TSLL. Been getting 10%/month on average since August so.... Can't complain yet

Well it shows as up 575% on my watchlist entry, since I added it at the end of 2021. It has likely split many times since your grandma bought shares. Let's say she bought before it started running, at peak volume we were seeing $17-18 in today's shares, which is pretty much the same. So let's say average 6-7x her investment in value PLUS dividends during that whole time, if she had it reinvesting it could be a huge chunk, even if she only bought the equivalent of 1000 of today's shares, that's probably added up quite a lot. And in the last few years, it may have moved from "money" to "serious money" This is assuming I'm not missing some math.

Nice spot to add CCCX at the bottom. This thing is NAV protected, very limited downside with unlimited upside here. CCCX / Infleqtion is an NVDA-partnered quantum company, the only Neutral Atoms pure play stock, PLUS they are the quantum sensing leader.

Home appreciation gets directly funneled into your equity. I bought my condo in 2021 and it's appreciated \~13%. I put down 20%. This is a 65% gain on my initial investment not even counting the equity gained from paying down principal. I know interest + tax + insurance + maintenance is just sunk cost. Now consider renting, where ALL of your rental payment just money out of your pocket. PLUS my mortgage + association fees + insurance is several hundred dollars below the average rent in my area. The same people who own but don't currently live in their units are renting their units, so they are just passing on excess cost of insurance + maintenance + profit to the renter. OP is flat out wrong.

positivew_eu

No arguments on the freedom of movement, but the "rent and invest the difference" part depends heavily on the part of the world you live in, due to differences in the renting market. In my home country in the eastern parts of Europe, although most people rent, it's actually more financially efficient to buy the same property, rather than rent it. If you have a relatively decent income and can afford the 10-20% down payment, that is. That's because the mortgage interest is relatively cheap (now that EURIBOR has gone back down - mine's currently at 1.5% base + 2.1% EURIBOR, so 3.6% in total) and most landlords are also paying mortgage on the property. So when you rent, you're most likely paying the landlord's mortgage PLUS their profit margin.

If we stay under 678, we still decay to 0 and i keep the whole mount PLUS the rest of the remaining premium. (~60K). If we gap over. Now lets say we gap to 680, shorts will close tmr at 2$, so i net win 117K, so a 67k loss relative to today’s close. HOWEVER, my 595 Longs will rise ~ 4.60 in premium, netting me roughly + 275K relative to today’s close. So if we gap down, great. If we gap up, great. This strategy only rlly goes tits up under a must linger downturn, but if anything thrives in chop.

Never trade an earnings play. Options become ridiculously expensive and when we are at ATH’s a beat on both sides PLUS language is absolutely needed. To risky. I always buy a week AFTER calls and start 1-2 weeks earlier way out of the money but def below any new highs if the market is wobbly or an Nvdia didn’t hold it’s top level.

jazerac

I never time it perfectly. But a profit is a profit. Active investing always out performs. The stats for buy and hold vs active are bullshit because most idiots buy high and sell low. Example: market drops 10%, how much does the market need to correct to get back those losses? Its not 10%, its more because your starting at a lower amount now. If you had taken your profit close to the top, and then buy in close to the bottom, then you made a profit on the original sell PLUS the profit on the new correction, but if you buy and hold you are back to break even.... again, its impossible to time it, but you can get close +/- 2-4%. I am not holding onto cash, I put the money to work in short term treasuries or municipals while I wait for a good entry point. The majority of my portfolio is in fairly safe assets like bonds and fixed income. When the market crashes 10%, my portfolio is down 2-4% maybe. I swing trade with about 10% of my portfolio and I am beginning to liquidate that and waiting for deals. Which is what I did today. I typically swing trade safer equities anyways. Things that pay a dividend just in case if I have to bag hold it for a while... at least I make a dividend. I do deviate from this sometimes though. Bought $500k of Google in April and sold around $215. Made an easy $150k profit. Sure i could have held onto it and made more, but again, a profit is a profit.

Oracle’s backlog was increased from roughly $150B to $450B based on investment commitments from OpenAI. That sent the stock soaring. Then reality hit: OpenAI has raised somewhere between $60B-$100B depending on how one measures that. So until OpenAI demonstrates their ability to raise that kind of money, the CapEx commitment is a bit “fugazi”. Can OpenAI raise that through a combination of Supermoney (iterative stock equity investments using stock of the target) PLUS tapping debt/capital markets? Probably. The issue is that the $300B Oracle investment commitments are merely a portion of OpenAI’s investment “commitments”.

Good god, hope this trade works out for you regard. So what priced in before were DAU/ARPU metrics PLUS its data being used by LLMs, now if Google doesn't rollback API changes, you think OpenAI and others to start paying RDDT for data? That's the only way it can get back to the hype it had IMO.

When I finally felt financially secure in my late 30s with a good chunk of investment savings, good salary, job security and the bills/mortgage are automatically being paid comfortably, it's a mental mind shift to start spending some hard earned money on nicer things in life. Just need to do some planning and self control so you won't ball out of control. Knowing that you can spend comfortably on some nice fun things plus pay the bills/my mortgage and that you still have a consistent salary from your job PLUS investments making money in the background is a great thing to have in life.

Congrats on reaching that point. Here's what the data actually shows about making a living selling options: I've researched this extensively because I considered the same path. The reality is both more promising and more dangerous than most realize. The Good News (The Edge is Real) The statistical advantage for option sellers absolutely exists: * 60-80% win rates are consistently documented across academic studies * CBOE PutWrite Index: 10.32% annual returns from 1986-2018 vs 8.77% for S&P 500, with 36% less volatility * Options Industry Council 15-year study: sellers averaged 8.27% annual returns while buyers lost 5.39% * Implied volatility exceeds realized volatility 85% of the time (AQR Capital research) * 2024 Boston College study of 2.4M retail trades: naked option selling earned 20% average returns So yes, the math works. The volatility risk premium is real and harvestable. The Brutal Reality (Why Most Fail) Here's where it gets darker: Capital Requirements Are Massive To generate $5,000/month income reliably: * Covered calls/cash-secured puts: $200,000-$300,000 (2-3% monthly target) * Credit spreads: $50,000-$100,000 (more capital efficient but active) * Iron condors: $75,000-$150,000 (10-20% on deployed capital) * PLUS you need 30-40% extra cash reserves for volatility spikes Below $50k account size, this strategy is barely viable due to position sizing constraints and fee drag. The Catastrophic Failure List * James Cordier (OptionSellers.com, 2018): $150M fund blown up in 2 weeks. Clients lost 100% + owed more. Natural gas spike, naked calls, 20-40x overleveraged * Karen "Supertrader" (2016): $136M fund, $57M unrealized losses hidden through rolling scheme. SEC fraud charges, $1.5M fine, permanent ban * 1987 Black Monday: Harry Fluke lost life savings + owed $513,000 from selling "safe" naked puts for $500 premiums. Professional trader lost $52M in one day * March 2020: Countless traders reported "losing double what the market lost" as VIX hit 82.69 The quote "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller" exists for a reason. What Separates Survivors from Casualties Position Sizing is Everything * 2-5% risk per trade maximum (Cordier had 20-40x this) * Use only 25-30% of available buying power (NOT 70-80%) * Multiple uncorrelated positions, never concentrated Defined Risk is Non-Negotiable for Retail * Credit spreads and iron condors survived March 2020 with 20% drawdowns * Naked options/strangles wiped accounts via margin calls * Yes, you collect less premium. But you survive Professional Risk Management * Enter at 45 DTE (optimal theta) * Close at 50% max profit (dramatically improves win rates) * Exit at 21 DTE regardless (avoid gamma risk) * Stop loss at 200% of credit for undefined risk * Portfolio margin only if you have 2-3x minimum requirements in reserves Early Retirement Now survived both Oct 2018 and March 2020 crashes using these rules. The OptionSellers clients using similar strikes but without proper sizing/risk management lost everything. The Tax and Time Reality Check Tax Treatment Destroys Returns * Short-term options = ordinary income rates (up to 37%) * 12% gross return → 8.16% after-tax at 32% bracket * SPX/NDX/RUT options get 60/40 treatment (max 28% rate) - substantially better * Stock options + wash sale rules = tax nightmare for active rollers This Isn't Passive Income * Covered calls: 20-30 min weekly * Iron condors/strangles: 30-60 min daily + hours during volatility * Learning curve: 100+ hours before you're competent * Compare to dividend stocks: 5-10 min quarterly Realistic Net Returns * Conservative defined-risk: 8-12% gross → 5-8% after-tax (high bracket) * With 2x portfolio margin: 16-24% gross → 11-16% after-tax * Expected drawdowns: 15-25% during crises * One bad volatility regime can erase years of gains How It Compares to Alternatives Dividend Stocks * 2-4% yield + appreciation * 0-20% tax rates (qualified dividends) * Truly passive (5 min quarterly) * Full upside participation * Lower income but WAY simpler Options Income ETFs (JEPI, JEPQ) * 8% distribution yield * Professional management, no blow-up risk * BUT: 2023 returned 9.9% vs 26.3% for S&P 500 * You cap upside permanently for that income My Honest Assessment You can make a living selling options IF: * ✅ You have $100k+ dedicated capital (preferably $200k+) * ✅ You use ONLY defined-risk strategies as retail trader * ✅ You never exceed 2-5% risk per trade, 25-30% portfolio exposure * ✅ You can psychologically handle 20-30% drawdowns without abandoning strategy * ✅ You have 30-60 min daily during market hours * ✅ You understand this is active income, not passive You will likely blow up IF: * ❌ You sell naked options with <$100k account * ❌ You use >50% buying power regularly * ❌ You increase position size after winning streaks * ❌ You sell options based on "market view" rather than mechanical rules * ❌ You lack 2x margin requirements in cash reserves The Professional Verdict Academic research is clear: Both retail and institutional investors profit most from selling volatility, but retail traders using simple strategies systematically lose money. The difference is capital, discipline, and risk management. Warren Buffett's successful 2009 option selling (puts on S&P at 450 strike during crisis) shows what it requires: $100B+ balance sheet making margin calls impossible, 50+ years experience, contrarian timing during panic, and ability to hold regardless of mark-to-market. Retail traders have none of these. The CBOE PutWrite Index proves 30+ year viability, but recent 2024 CAIA research warns "option selling has become consensus" with oversupply degrading future returns. Covered call strategies targeting high yields (12%+) LOST money 2011-2023 despite the bull market. Questions to Ask Yourself 1. Can you watch a $50k account become $35k in 3 weeks without panic-selling? 2. Do you have enough capital that a 30% drawdown doesn't threaten your lifestyle? 3. Can you follow mechanical rules when your gut screams to deviate? 4. Are you okay earning 8-12% with constant stress vs 10% buying index funds? If you answered yes to all four, you might be in the 5% who can do this successfully long-term. Congrats again on your success so far. Just make sure you've stress-tested your approach against a VIX spike to 40+, because that's when you'll find out if your risk management is adequate or if you're just lucky. The graveyard of blown-up option sellers is 20x larger than the roster of people who've done this successfully for 10+ years. Respect the steamroller.

Astronaut-Proof

Honestly I don’t feel bad for anyone going long on puts. At this point, it’s your fault for thinking shit is gonna crash for an extended period of time. USD losing 11% of its value this year, rate cuts on the horizon, neutral fear/greed index while major indexes continue a slow, steady climb.. you deserve to lose money. The only reason the market continues to receive inflows at these prices is because a cash position means it is losing 11% to dollar devaluation PLUS inflation. Just stop shorting and go long buddy. Puts exist only to hedge long positions.

Crash or not, AI bubble or not, I am investing more and more in US market. I primarily invest in Indian stock market, but now shifting a good amount to US stock market(30% portfolio) to tech companies as well as some fast growing QC companies too for next 15 years. INR depreciation PLUS 15% growth in these kind of companies over long term is gonna be superbly amazing for my financial future. And even if crash or bubble burst happnes, I will be putting more money rather than taking out money in fear. So, I would say, this is amazing period to be an investor in US stock market. Just invest in high quality companies , or just invest in QQQ, for next 15-20 years and huge wealth creation will be there.

A couple of things. Source: old fart. Have a written financial plan. It does not have to be long, and it should not be carved in stone -- in fact it should be revised often. A bedrock principle of your plan should be the realization that a long, deep market correction can occur at any time [I use 405 down and 8 years to recover, you pick your own numbers]. As can a long, deep recession. So plan accordingly. And realize that corrections and recessions often go hand in hand. Retirement savings? At age 21 a long and deep correction is a good thing, since you can buy it at lower valuations. Emergency savings? They need to be in something that will not be getting crushed in a market correction/recession. So no stocks. HYSA, money market or Treasury bills are the tools for that. The general rule is 6 months of expenses, but I suggest 6 months of expenses PLUS moving costs. Being able to relocate during a recession can be crtical. Saving for something 10 years or so in the future, such as a house downpayment? Learn about a thing called "asset allocation". We are all in a different place. Be wary of simplistic, dogmatic advice. Best of luck.

EVAX Merck exercises its option on vaccine EVX-B3. Comes with a $7.5 million payment today. Merck will take over all work going forward, but EVAX remains eligible for milestone payments (development, regulatory, and sales milestones) with a total potential value of $592 million PLUS EVAX will receive royalties on sales. Stock closed yesterday at $3.30 (representing a value of $20.8 million). Currently trading at $4.30 in pre-market, representing a valuation of ~$27 million. That is a valuation of $27 million while they stand to receive total payments of $600 million PLUS royalties. NOTE: Check my post history - I suggested this stock in “The Lounge” a couple weeks ago. Good luck to all!

Same as me yesterday, got 1800 and rode it all the way down on 1 trade. Not sure why I didn’t sell (I had been doing great for 2 weeks scalping consistently) but now I’m paying for it. I was down $5k at my lowest today and now I’m back to even, but still if I sold I would’ve captured the 1800 PLUS atleast 4 out of the 5k I was down as an actual gain and not just recovery. But it’s okay, we live and we learn

You can offset all of your capital gains for the year PLUS up to $3000 of ordinary income per year. “When performing tax-loss harvesting, you can use capital losses to offset any amount of capital gains, plus an additional $3,000 of ordinary income per year. If your net capital loss exceeds this amount, you can carry the excess loss forward to future tax years.”

The premium is definitely "worth it" because it's literally free money if you're going to sell the stock anyway. Well, there's a tiny bit of cost: 1) From today, Saturday, you'd have to wait till Friday to sell. But you said you weren't in a hurry. 2) The stock could go down between now and then. So you might have sold the stock this Monday when it was up, but selling a Call sort of locks you in to not selling till Friday, and the stock could be down. But I would do it. CCs are perfect for closing stock positions. And to tease out u/JackDStipper's point, take a look at this screenshot of this Friday's Walmart Call option chain: [Walmart 26Sep Call chain: ATM vs. ITM CCs](https://imgur.com/a/Kulo5zc) Open it in a new window so you can follow along with my explanation. You could sell the ATM 103C, which is all Extrinsic value, 0.885. See it highlighted? OR, you could sell the ITM 102C, which has MORE Extrinsic value. 1.09 vs 0.885 It's generally best if you're selling something (in this case time) to sell as much of it at one time as possible. PLUS, like Jack said, you sell that 102C and it's more likely that WMT closes the week above 102 and your shares get called away. And you kept the 1.09. And if you're worried that you're selling at 102 but the shares are actually worth 102.33 today, *you're actually getting paid that 33 cents also.* It's baked into the cost of the Call you'd sell at 1.42 Midpoint as *Intrinsic value.* Which is because the Call is ITM by 0.33, so that much of its value is Intrinsic, while the rest of its value is Extrinsic. 0.33 + 1.09 = 1.42, and that's the Midpoint value of the Call. And what return do you make from selling that Call? The Extrinsic, 1.09, divided by the Strike price, 102: 1.09 / 102 = 1.06% In 1 week. So apy to about 55% ROI. So yeah, it's worth it, and that's exactly what I would do.

yes. i arrived at this way of thinking during the tech crash of '22. i consolidated into my highest conviction plays and left everything else alone. EVERYTHING i read and watched told me i was an idiot, but i had to do what made sense to me. that year i lost about $80k from selling low. today, having done almost nothing but wait, i made the 80k back PLUS an extra 360k. depth over breadth.

RLMLF is an Australian company whose flagship property is directly adjacent to PPTA's mega-deposit in Idaho, USA (they literally share a property boundary with each other and are located withing Valley County, where I live). PPTA is actually building roads and bringing power lines to their own claim THROUGH RLMLF's 100% owned claim. RLMLF has reported promising findings from drilling exploration/mapping this month, but are very early in the process of getting their mine permitted. Gold, aniltmoney, silver, and other ore have been identified in abundance - similar to PPTA's claim. However, with PPTA already having paved the way (literally and figuratively) through every agency involved, PLUS the Trump administration fast-track program for critical minerals, I'd be interested in people's opinion who are smarter than I am on RLMLF. I hold a very small position in them, only what I am willing to lose overnight. PPTA needed 10 years to get the green light to build out infrastructure. How long would it have taken them if they had started when the Trump administration prioritized domestic critical minerals?

Hi Sam, thanks for chiming in with some great insights! Yes indeed, markets rise, but that means stocks rise too, because they make up markets, right? So yeah, one could pick any old ETF right now and it'll probably go up "over time." But I think "how much time" becomes the question. Okay, so look at charts and find an ETF that looks flat for the last month or three. Then in x years it should be higher. Or find a chart that's actually going up, and then you the "momentum factor" PLUS the general uptrend of stocks. I see it as just giving yourself all the benefits you can. This just came to me, but kind of like selling a CSP: it's always touted that stocks only do 3 things, and in 2 of those cases the CSP wins. Yes, "most years as a whole the market is up." (Except 2022, and some other examples.) And Yuen touches on that, actually going to the extent of saying that there really haven't been any TWO year bear markets in recent history. So he buys LEAPS 2 years out just for that reason. Because what are the odds of 2 bad years back-to-back? Good point about SPY/DIA probably being safer, but I'm actually long VOO in one of my accounts because it screened in when I did this for myself last weekend. So I'm not averse to an index fund, as long as it meets my criteria for being one of my Top 5 picks. So I think that's the only 'advantage,' just trying to maximize return in a sort of safe-ish way. (Btw, I wouldn't do this on crypto ETFs or marijuana or things like that; but then, the charts actually rule those out.) Yes indeed, more leverage by using ATM or OTM Calls. OTM are what the kids on here like to trade, looking for those lottery-style wins. But that's not what I'm after: I just want 'enough' return that's fairly safe/conservative/repeatable/pick your adjective. 80-delta is a proven(?) or at least accepted sweet spot. By all rights, I should be going even higher, and I'd still get plenty of return. Yuen's method is that BE of purchased Calls be no more than 5% of spot. In my XME example above, that would have me buying the 62C vs. the 70C (numbers are wonky AH, so I can't quote Deltas, but it's in the 90's). But guess what? That would still give leverage of at least 3x. So let XME do 11% again next month, and you're still looking at 33%. Insane leverage these things provide, so no, I don't recommend AT ALL going closer to the money. And you probably know, but for those reading along, you can get more leverage buy using a shorter duration. 100-120 days is sometimes recommended. An 80-ish delta XME Callat 104DTE gives almost 6x leverage. Loss control. Firstly, I've never been one to hold something hoping it comes back. But you're absolutely correct: with any long Call option, you're on a deadline. For stocks and ETFs, I've pretty much always used a 10% Trailing Stop. Invstor's Business Daily, which I've been reading for decades, recommends an 8% stop-loss *from your purchase price*. Mostly to protect you from a bad entry. But then they don't really give a stop-loss recommendation for when the darn thing starts going up. So my 10% kind of morphed from that. And of course, if the thing has gone up some, and is kind of choppy, then I may relax that to 20%.

NO one does, until the dive in and start doing at least SOME research. You can "stay on top of" by spending a few hours every month. Your current and future investments are worth this time, aren't they? When you pay an advisor 1.5% some think "oh, that's not much" but on a 500k portfolio, that ends up costing (removing from your account PLUS all future returns this money would have had) of a whopping $7,500 a year!. For THAT kind of money, I can spend time researching and acquiring the needed knowledge.

It is *facing* profitability but it is still losing money. I don’t know how to draw a crayon picture for you to explain it. Why are you so worked up? The company depends on: rate changes PLUS home demand rising PLUS deal behavior changes PLUS effective leadership. It currently has none of those things. It needs all of those things to happen at the same time and it needs them to happen soon.

RTACU is a unit, while RTAC is a "real share". There is also RTACW, which is a warrant. At IPO, SPACs often sell "units" to investors to reward them for providing the initial funds. So for the first few weeks after IPO, only RTACU existed. Now, any holder of RTACU can "split" 1 share of RTACU into 1 share of RTAC PLUS 0.5 share of RTACW. RTACW is capped at 18 (but offers a leveraged bet if that's your thing). So with that context, the answer to your question is: in a no-arbitrage mkt, RTACU value =RTAC value + 0.5 RTACW value. As of Friday, RTACW was 1.19, RTAC was 10.84 , so 0.595+10.84 = 11.43 sum-of-the-parts, while RTACU actually was trading at 11.41. In practice, since this play is pretty much "back to $10 or up to $120", both RTAC and RTACU are very very similar

> But what if it goes down a lot, suddenly? Then your tax problems go away! > Maybe I can buy put options around, say, $180. With expiry dates a year out, those are trading around $15 each contract, so I'd spend $150,000 on them for the 100 contracts I need. That seems like too much. That's the cost of insurance. One suggestion is to always look at this in relative numbers. I.e., you're paying 15/200 = 7.5% annualized for your protection. Compare that to the expected appreciation of the stock. E.g., say you expect it to maintain a 20% CAGR. So you'll be giving up 7.5% of those 20%, for a net 12.5% CAGR. > But if $SAMPLE is ITM on that strike, I limit my losses to $200 - $180 + $0.15 = $20.15 per share and can still sell out at $180. You're calculating that wrong. You just said the puts you're considering are trading at $15, not $0.15. That means your losses would be 200 - 180 + 15 = 35 USD per share. > Maybe I could sell call options ITM, again around $180. If your goal is to avoid having to pay capital gain taxes on your shares, this is possibly the second worst idea (the only worse one would be to actually directly sell your shares). Selling an ITM call means you're getting yourself in a position where you'll almost certainly have a taxable event (i.e. selling your shares). > Maybe I could sell call options ITM, again around $180. They're trading around $35 per contract with one year to expiry, so I would gain $350,000. Careful with terminology here. You wouldn't _gain_ anything. You'd **receive a 350k credit** in exchange for a liability (i.e. a short call position). You'll only _gain_ 350k there if you were able to close that position for 0 (i.e. it expires worthless, meaning you'd also be losing a lot of money on your shares). Also, note that the 35 is composed of 20 intrinsic + 15 extrinsic. That is, what you're really potentially gaining by selling the call is 15, because the 20 is just what you'd naturally be owed. It's kinda like the 20 """don't count""". > If those options end up ITM, then I'm selling at $180 again, and also have my juice from writing the options. $200 - $180 + $0.35 = $20.35 per share. First, they most likely will end up ITM. Also, again, your calculation is wrong. Not only because you need to use 35 instead of 0.35, but also because your signs are wrong. When expiration comes and the stock is ITM, you'll have received 180 + 35 (PLUS) cash total in exchange for your shares. Since they're worth 200 today, comparing to selling them today and ending this all, you'd be ahead by ... wait for it ... exactly the 15 extrinsic from the calls you sold. Looking at this in annualized terms, you're essentially _capping_ your gains to 15 / 200 = 7.5% annualized, while slightly reducing the pain if the stock price drops significantly. > Is there a good way to enhance these simple strategies so I can slowly sell my long position in $SAMPLE? [...] Maybe it's better to just eat the tax hit and sell out? If you don't want to be forced to sell your position, don't sell a call against it; it's always going to be a risk. You can reduce that risk by selling longer dated calls, and going OTM; but the risk will still be there. If you want to be certain to only sell your long position slowly, you can do exactly that: sell it, slowly. Not with calls, which would mean you have the risk of getting assigned. If you're OK paying those taxes, well, then you have your answer. > Is there some other strategy that helps protect my investment? If you want to protect your investment, that's exactly what puts exist for. I have a somewhat similar situation, with a very large, concentrated position on a stock that appreciated by an enormous amount over the years. I don't want to sell that position because (1) I believe this stock will continue to appreciate significantly, and (2) the capital gain tax there would just be humongous, worth multiple years of gross income... What I do with this position is this: - I buy a put 1y or more out at 25 delta - I sell a call 2mo out at 25 delta - Approximately every month (i.e. when the call is around 1mo to expiration), I roll the call. - Approximately every 9mo, I roll the put. What this does is: - It reduces my delta by half (initially) - It gives me positive theta (initially) - While I do have the risk of early assignment, the way it's managed makes it relatively low To analyze the cost of this hedge, look at the relative annualized extrinsic value of the options. E.g., when opening the position, I might be paying, say, 11.5% annualized on the puts, and making 19% annualized on the calls. So I'll be getting an extra 7.5% annualizing on my position, lowering the delta by half, protecting myself against a huge drop, while capping my gains if the stock spikes. To manage the risk of capping gains, I don't do this with 100% of my position; I leave some of the position unhedged - an amount that, if the stock was to go to 0, with what's left from the hedge, I'd still be fine. I'm not recommending you do this, as I don't know you or your situation. But I'm just giving an example of a strategy that's used for this kind of situation.

I'm doing PMCCs too, but just since March. (And full disclosure, the long legs aren't always a year out (but at least 6 months), so they're technically Diagonal Call Spreads.) But yeah, 1.25 to 1.5 years out is great. And 80-delta or higher is great. (I never break that rule, unless the choice is maybe a 79-delta or an 82-delta, then I'll take the 0.79.) I used to do Weeklies, and people told me (this has been some years ago) to at least do Monthlies, because you'll find that you're taking them off at half pretty quickly anyway. And 30 days or so just gives you "more time to be right." They don't move as fast. Fun when it's the good way, bad when it's the other way. And earlier this year I tried Weeklies again, but now I'm back to Monthlies. Though I'll crowd the 28-day/4-week mark for sure. Rolling: I'm with u/DennyDalton on this one, don't wait till they're ITM. And probably don't set any kind of "percent of stock price" rules. Use Delta. I sell at 30-delta. Sometimes less, rarely much more. When they get up to 40-delta I start rolling. Up a strike and out a week. And another week if needed to get a Credit. You'll rarely need to go more than 2w, unless the ticker has 5-wide strikes, sometimes. And yeah, buy back at half. If you have the available cash, set a GTC BTC order. When you open your account some day it will have executed, so you go sell another one. Great observation about the short Calls paying for the LEAPS Call! Many people don't see that or take it into account. For example, with GLD I could buy the 401DTE 80-delta 290C for **38.93**. The 29DTE (from tomorrow) 30-delta 318C is selling for **2.46**. There are 13.8 29-day periods in 401 days, so 13.8 x 2.46 = **33.95**. Not quite paid for, but very close. Selling Weeklies though gets you there though: The 7DTE 27-delta 313C is going for **0.93**. 57 weeks in 401 days, so 57 x 0.93 = **53.01** The LEAPS Call is paid for, plus $1400 profit. PLUS whatever the LEAPS Call is worth at expiration. It's a fun game, welcome aboard!

Sir_Trashbin

I think people in this thread are missing the point of what you're asking. When you bought your 50c option at $1.60 at close it was completely out of the money, and was all Extrinsic Value. As someone else pointed out, IV only affects this Extrinsic Value. With the jump after earnings, suddenly ASTS is now above $50, and IF it holds tomorrow AM, your calls will now have Intrinsic Value as well. This Intrinsic Value gets added to the Extrinsic Value for the total option price. HOWEVER, as you pointed out the math shows that the real move was less than expected, so what's going to happen is your Extrinsic Value is likely going to decrease tomorrow. Not only that but the IV is likely going to drop somewhat tomorrow, so your Ext Value might drop a lot in actuality. So your option price is going to increase in value because the new Intrinsic Value (that is coincidentally near the price you paid for the option at close) PLUS the now lower Extrinsic Value is still more than what you paid yesterday at close. Obviously this all only applies if ASTS opens at around this $51.50 price that it's hovering at while writing this.

Assuming the investment options are identical, the only difference as stated earlier is the tax paid now or later. I can only say, I wish I could reach back and knock the 25 year younger version of myself in the head when I thought saving taxes at a 15% tax rate was beneficial. Second crappy thing I did was not converting to Roth all of what I had saved by 2008 when the market took a dump. Assume you will never pay less tax, but you will likely pay more. PLUS there may be some other benefits like lower Medicare payments because of lower income reported.

Not quite correct. If you sell a put on XYZ at $20 strike, it WILL NOT "cost" you $2000. If you receive, for example, $0.40 premium, that'll (temporarily) cost you $1960, (the $20 strike, multiplied by 100 shares, MINUS the premium received for selling the PUT). If the stock appreciates to $2200, you will receive your $1960 collateral back, PLUS get to keep your $40 premium. So you are correct, in that you end up with $2000, BUT..... it has only cost you $1960 to get $2000 back, a realised profit of 2%. This 2%, over 1 year equates to 104%, which means that you will have made $2080 over that year, meaning you end up with a $4080 balance on that trade at the end of 12 months. To me, that is a fantastic result!
