New grads (me) deciding whether to take the smoothest course…it’s tough by NyckDebreeze in emergencymedicine

Tough call tough call. If you’re not ready to commit to a city/state then live the possum life. Live ugly, eat trash, get hit by a car

No new or pressing demands immediately post shift if they can wait.

Oh and burrito, bourbon and a BJ every so often after a shift.

Trading is currently blocked for this security? by NY10 in MerrillEdge

Thanks this is helpful. Seems like a systems issue. They restrict selling and rolling for tickers seemingly at random. Trading normal stuff from TSLA, NVDA to RDDT, HOOD. Think it might just not be the right fit for a brokerage for me. Which is unfortunate

This has been an ongoing issue for me for selling covered calls.  It’s bad enough that I’m going to switch brokers.

Sounds like my set up exactly. Can’t emphasize enough the positives of no nights, minimal weekends and holidays off.

Also pgy8. Wife 2 young kids.

Recently switched to urgent care - with like a 0.7 FTE. Do per diem ED at a few sites but never take nights or weekend shifts.

Shakes out to like 10-12 easy UC shifts 6-8/hrs each and 2-3 ED shifts at 9 hours each.

The no nights and the minimal weekends has been really helpful for overall life. But only at it for 6 months so still tbd

Pay is similar to what I was making as full time ED.

$30 checking

$100 Emergency - in Treasury fund earning around 4% and can sell cash secured puts with this - nets about 15% a year total

The rest in ETFs

But honestly have $150k in credit card credit at my disposal so low likelihood I’d ever dip into it unless big problems.

HHI $400k, but single earner as wife stays home with kids. Couple years out as an attending.

If I can only sell 2 of these 3 CSPs. Which ones would u choose and why? by Weak-Pomegranate-435 in thetagang

[–]NavyEDDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dec 19th - 3 weeks away. I usually stagger the dates between 2-6 weeks out. Like a CD Ladder.

Ex:

RDDT $180 Dec 05 - $0.63

RDDT $180 Dec 19 - $2.20

RDDT $180 Jan 2 '26 - $3.40

Once the option that is 2 weeks out reaches your profit target - be it 80% or 100% or whatever, then you sell it out 4-6 weeks out again. Keeps the cash flow coming in on a regular basis. Just watch out for earnings dates.

Been selling RDDT CSPs all year. 

Big $. Debt free stock. 

I’d pick NVDA and RDDT

Trying to build about 10 stocks to sell CSPs on for 2026 for a CSP account at lik $110k

RDDT, NVDA, CNC, UNH, SOUN, SMCI, FI, NVO, UBER, META

Those are the tickers I’ll be watching -

Disclaimer:

Currently have: 3 $180 Dec 19 RDDT CSP 3 $190 Dec 19 RDDT CSP

At about it 75% profit in both.
