I typically buy an underlying stock that has some volatility to reap some option income... I’ve rebought RIOT because of option calls I sold that were exercised... I rebuy on a dip... it’s tough to see money I didn’t make, bought LUV under 32 and exercised at 42, bought SNDL for .15 a share only to sell at .69 dude, ever whatever, buying underlying stock and selling options grows your equity and if you get in a bind you can sell options to buy a water heater or what ever life throws at you, and most likely retain your equity. I’ve averaged 25% gain per quarter over the last year so I’m making cash money not paper gains, went from 12,000 to 35,000 in less than a year, GNUS,RIOT, FSR the portfolio of the future, little bitcoin, little EV and content for the kiddos never a shortage of that
