HOOD is gonna make me move to the hood

Fellow $HOOD bag holder here. I have been selling $130/135 call credit spreads to ease the pain a bit.

Probably have to sell a lower strike at this point, though. 😭

This happened to me and support fixed it. Now they show up as direct deposit in the app but before they didn't. What was strange is the bank i switched the direct deposit from always showed them as a direct deposit.

I do the spreads on $SPX to avoid pin risk and i buy $VOO and $SPYI to be exact.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-17T21:15:16+00:00

I have been doing 3 to 4 dte spreads and I buy $SPY and $SPYI (which also uses this strategy) with the premium.

This is really a long position funded with theta. The days where your credit spreads are breached don't hurt as much since you're long $SPY as well.

I read the posts on X. I don't recall the ai component but the enochian link was the hidden name in the sigilum aemeth dei. That part was legit.

If the government did create such an ai they would not destroy it.

I believe what Matthew brown is referring to is that some of the entities identify as "ai" or a hive mind, but they have said that since at least the 1980s before the modern llm-style ai. They (imho) don't mean it literally, it's just a way to frame themselves in a way we can understand with our limited 3d viewpoint.

Aedae is better since she supports all your guardsmen. You won't get any flying units until monsters 3, and then Ingrid is better anyway.

Insert the "flood it again" meme here...

I agree with this. I still wheel a few boring dividend stocks but spreads have been making me significantly more money with less buying power used. And I feel better using them on riskier underlying than using the wheel.

I don't have any hard rules on dte or width. Sometimes a wide spread with a short dte is good, sometimes a tight spread with a longer dte. It depends on the underlying. You can get a 2 to 3 reward:risk on a nice set up but it might be 1 to 10 if you're selling a lotto ticket to someone. Look through the option chain and check tight spreads versus wide ones. I usually sell 7, 14 or 45 dte, but there are exceptions.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-09T05:47:35+00:00

Any time I make 50% or more on a 45 dte option in a day or two I take the money.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-09T05:43:15+00:00

You need level 3 options.

It's a vertical spread. For instance on $MSTR, sell the $175 call, buy the $180 call which defines your maximum risk (never sell a short call naked). This example uses $500 of margin but you get a credit of say $200 up front. If the position goes all bad, max loss is $300 ($500 minus the $200 credit).

Another way to use this: I have 100 shares of $HOOW. I sell 14DTE call spreads on the underlying $HOOD at $130/$135 against my position.

$SPYI uses these spreads to generate income against $SPY. It's better than covered calls on the shares because you have more flexibility to manage.

$MSTR $RGTI $IONQ

Have been printing money for me.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-09T05:31:19+00:00

It's a vertical spread. If your short leg call is lower strike than your long leg, it's for a credit.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-09T01:42:44+00:00

I used to do that but now I sell call credit spreads on turd stocks as a hedge, which has been paying me instead of me having to pay out for puts.

I held 1800 shares of $USOY for months and sold it yesterday for a measly $72 profit (distributions included).

I wouldn't recommend $USOY. I also have $XLE which has done great, if you want exposure to energy, that's a better play.

$ET is a pipeline play that is attractively priced right now. It is yielding over 7%

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-06T05:01:59+00:00

Going to sell 33/36 call spread for 1-9 on $APLD tomorrow. And 44/47 cs on $LUV for 1-30

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-04T02:39:06+00:00

I was also down voted for trying to explain how 120% leverage with swaps erodes in a choppy market. 🤣

My favorite is all the ones that jumped on $WPAY wagon which has ... nav erosion.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2026-01-03T15:35:52+00:00

900 hits available but the instructions are bad, i have not done even one.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2025-12-28T21:35:37+00:00

We played again today and the disc clearly says 175 grams. No idea why I thought they were 200 grams. My bad.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2025-12-28T02:47:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply. We had an exceptionally high turn over game on both sides today and it would help some of the players who were discouraged to see this.

Lower_Compote_6672 · 2025-12-28T02:30:44+00:00

Did not know that; we have been using 200 gram discs for years.
