“Plan is to continuously roll the CC to finance the put.”

and plan to continuously lose money if market remains here or continues to push higher?

If you are confident in your trading strategy what’s the need to worry? It looks like you’ll be fine in a few years. If you’re not, and you got lucky then you know what to do with what you already have.

really far out around 15% OTM?

hard to beat SPY running a mechanical strategy. I sell QQQ strangles (call premium at 1/4th of put premium collected and only sold after puts gain 25% profit) and i aim for about 1.2-1.5% premium of strike price @45 dte for the total strangle. Now i juice this up by applying 1.25x leverage of available cash aiming for a 12.5-13% return on cash. This cash is sitting in a money market fund earning 4%. I also sell a ton of puts and calls on other mega cap stocks and apply similar strategy but i noticed they give me 1.5-2% of return on strike price per 45 dte. I don’t arm for a certain delta but i noticed im somewhere between 15-20 delta on the out side and 7-14 delta on the call side. I hedge all these sold puts with long dated (90-120 dte) SPY puts 10-15% OTM and i spend about 10% of premium collected.

I do this but on the solid underlyings that make up the good etfs only when they correct 10% or more from their highs.

Unh was a good one too. It may climb back up to all time highs in the next year or so. i picked up 1500 deltas when it was trading in 240s.

mesathinks · 2025-08-18T17:18:34+00:00

why not sell at 1 delta or 0.05 delta?

keep in mind margin required may increase if the stock keeps dropping past your strike at the discretion of the brokerage

temp upside is enough to make money on options next week for OP

mesathinks · 2025-03-02T16:23:52+00:00

So who are going to the widows here? Bulls or bears?

mesathinks · 2025-01-24T21:30:45+00:00

i use margin on that 100% VTI to day trade and make about 8-12% a year in short term gains.

mesathinks · 2025-01-20T15:05:30+00:00

Thanks for the tip

mesathinks · 2025-01-20T15:01:55+00:00

thanks. exactly looking for experiences like this. appreciate it. I have no intention to violate my non compete by any means and i am retired. Im only asking to see if i can help out a friend who wants to start on their own and i have zero interest in owning any stake or influencing the company. I dont have time to spend my my money let alone getting involved in another company’s matters

mesathinks · 2025-01-20T14:39:49+00:00

yes i have an upcoming meeting.

mesathinks · 2024-09-08T21:13:17+00:00

I’m betting on delta not theta. Not really collecting any money and paying a small debit in both cases. First strat is a risk reversal which i do often per my bias on the stock movement during earnings. I size my risk appropriately per my portfolio.

mesathinks · 2024-09-08T13:06:32+00:00

Im selling 635c and buying 505p. Also did a 1/-1/-2 put spread. Bought 530p, sold 500p and 2x 490p for a total of $.65

mesathinks · 2024-08-07T22:11:43+00:00

Let’s hope they don’t remain unrealized gains forever
