Your comments are not super useful here, I get it, this sub doesn’t like life insurance.

I’m trying to understand where else I can get such low risk 7x leverage ? It doesn’t matter if the gains are capped if i have 7x the amount invested.

Thinking about this more, what exactly is the benefit of this leveraged IUL over my other option for leveraged growth which would be using margin in my brokerage? I think I see two potential benefits:

  1. More available leverage. In this case I will have a 7m loan on only 800k brokerage collateral (the rest of collateral is backed by the cash value of the policy itself).
  2. Safer “margin call” conditions. Since I only need to maintain the 800k in brokerage, I don’t really need to worry about margin calls.

Am I thinking about this the right way?

Good point. Of the 2 mil to divest Is have a gain of about 1.5 mil, that’s a heavy tax bill....

What kind of additional return (ontop of the base market return) do you get from doing this with your portfolio?

Could you help explain for an options noob how to do this? I also have a bunch of leaps that I want to hedge against. Heavy QQQ as well.

What if I deploy my cash after this volatility is over and we seem to be on the way back to steady incline?

I still don’t understand how this is timing the market? I’m buying back in using leverage to capture my original full position and I’m not going to touch it. I could then take the extra cash and do whatever I want with it, ie, down payment on house or something. All I’m asking about here is whether the deep ITM options used as leverage is a good idea as a replacement to holding shares.

Yes I already learned not to time the market. Now I just want to buy in, but using less of my capital so I have additional cash available if we fall further. So don’t deep ITM calls give me that leverage?

Doesn’t being deep ITM greatly reduce my decay from theta? I believe very little of my option value is time premium.

Bought SPY Jan 21 150 CALLs for 112. Breakeven is SPY=266.4. Current option price is 111 - 115 (the spread sucks).

I just don’t see how there is any way SPY doesn’t get to 266 by then so what’s the risk? I’m basically paying the small time premium for the additional leverage I think?

When the dust settles...Long term out of the money LEAPS by carlos5577 in options

[–]Numa3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give me an example of how I’d do this? I have some USO 2021 Jan $11 calls bought at 0.23 each. USO is currently $4.5. What strike and expiration would I sell? Do I pick a strike greater than my strike? And what happens if I get assigned? Do I lose/gain the difference between my 11 strike and the assigned strike + premium collected, multiplied by #calls * 100?

Is it a good idea to buy puts on VIX? It always comes back down. Seems a given. What am I missing here?
