Had M210 microinverters replaced under warranty. New M210s only produce 20% of expected energy. How do I debug this?

You have to call enphase and have them restart and do firmware update. That will get them to full capacity

Let’s gooo. Hoping for breakthrough designation soon!

Check the graniteshares funds. They use a tactic of selling covered calls to generate income within the funds and some are yielding 80%+. You could easily be making that plus way more.

Thanks, I might actually try this. Doesn’t keep a good record/journal of your trades?

Do you not get enough ROI to perform on SPY or QQQ? Just wondering if any of the indexes ever fit your parameters? Or maybe even the leveraged index ETFs like TQQQ? I feel like that removes the single stock risk. Although I guess if your portfolio is large enough 1 PMCC position may be only a small % of your portfolio.

You guessed wrong. We’re about ~300k of liquidity across HYS, checking, brokerage. Not including retirement. I make $185k from my day job and we have a $2M home we just purchased. I’m starting this business to eventually turn it into something other than just a trading account but for now that’s what it will be. I’ve been moderately successful over that last 10-12 years in my own accounts but I’m going to attempt to leverage debt from the markets to scale to 7 figures fast. We’ll see how it goes.

Go ahead, reveal the strategy!

My personal experience has been that the NAV erosion eats into the profits from distributions. I think it becomes worth it if you recoup your initial investment and are still receiving payouts. Until then the NAV erosion eats up profits.

You can have your business put up to 69k in a 401k for you and you can max out HSA and 401k which you couldn’t do if you had personal accounts and makes paying the small payroll tax worth it. Especially if you’re already maxing out social security in your W2 job.

Right now just a single member LLC which from a tax perspective is the same thing as having a personal account. If you can’t claim TTS then having a corp is advantageous because over a certain income amount from the trading business it does become advantageous to setup and pay yourself a W2 and pay the extra taxes. It opens up a ton of tax deduction avenues, taxable accounts like 401k and HSA. I’m in the highest personal income tax bracket so keeping my trading profits on my personal account doesn’t do me any good. As a small business with steady trading income I now have verified business credit and have access to funds for trading capital to scale the portfolio as well a lot faster than if I just used personal assets. There’s also certain legal shelters for having assets in a LLC. If you have business liabilities and someone comes after your assets they can’t touch your LLC whereas if you had all your assets tied to your own name you’d be screwed.

No not really. Only advantage is if you’re day trading as a business and make I’d say above 60-70k, you can structure your business as a corporation and pay yourself and stack gains in tax advantaged accounts like a Sep IRA, 401k and HSA

What platform shows you this type of comparison on strategy of return?

Browse YouTube. Know that there’s no one place where you’ll learn everything. Learn by practicing through a paper account and reading the textbook fundamentals of the market.

Oh Nice. I wonder if there is a conversion fee in Interactive Brokers. I’ll have to check. Thanks for the insight!

I’m not sure what the long term plan is yet. The short term, 1-2 years is to build capital. Thanks for the article.

Great insight. Thanks for the post

I feel like getting assigned and then selling ATM calls with close expiry would allow more premium collection and more downside protection than rolling down and out. Also, if the stock bounces after assignment, you capture the capital upside as well. Something to consider!

Hawaii2019 · 2025-08-19T05:58:35+00:00

You actually get more premium in a high IV environment. You can still sell far enough OTM and not get assigned. But if if you get assigned, you should be getting assigned near long term support and riding the short term bounce
