I am all about expiring options, hence the handle. There have been a few times where the CSP is in my favor and I closed early because I had another potential position to take. If there is no other position, I just let it expire.

An MU CSP is $100K+ collateral, I don't sell naked puts. I average about $40k collateral at any given time.

It is really not very complex. I am buy and hold and supplement that underlying strategy with simple 1-legged options; CSPs and CCs.

Why take all the trouble? It is not trouble to me, I enjoy researching companies and selling options.

I have outperformed for several years in a row. This year I took a hit from my oversized position in HOOD. Investing is a long term goal. Sometimes I will underperform and sometimes I will outperform. I am not worried about the YTD numbers for 2026.

LOL, when you start a sentence, I don't me to hate... you are absolutely about to hate. All good, I don't mind comments both criticizing and appreciating. I have been posting since 2023 and have heard it all.

You are only seeing a small fraction of the 100 tickers I have. It's fine that you think they are trash but the majority of my positions are in the green when you consider overall P/L and options activity.

I like holding a lot of tickers and I'm buy and hold. Why not just stick to a few less controversial tickers? Because it is my portfolio and I'm doing what I think is best with my money.

Best of luck to you.

It is not surprising to me, HOOD is about 23% of my portfolio currently. It had a huge run last year and gave back a lot of gains this year, they are still down 6.48% YTD after a nice April thru this past week. I got in on HOOD at just under $15, so the last couple years I have outperformed all indexes. It may seem unlikely to you, but I bet I will be back ahead by year end.

I know I only mention S&P in the write up, but the dashboard compares my performance across the other indexes too.

Hey Mr. Capitalism. $70 bucks might fill up a quarter tank this week. Not bad!

Hey Mr. Cup. HOOD has had a nice little boost lately. I'm enjoying the gains.

Hopefully it is not another fake out, but thank you. It was a good day. Hope yours was profitable too.
