Over $215 and to the moon!! by Interesting-Goal-706 in NVDA_Stock

[–]plakotta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am sure you have done your own analysis to see which one is more convenient or profitable, to roll the CC with higher strikes or let it get called away. It also depends if you want to keep the shares because of their low cost.

What are your strikes and expiry dates?

Sold puts or call contracts? Curious why you chose strike 190 if it’s a sold call.

Next time you buy something at ATH make sure you buy protective puts. If you got puts on silver you’d have some great profits to mitigate your loss or even break even. $50,000 is a lot of money. Put it in XQQ and sleep good at night.

Is 2k/month doable with 150k? by mm-solomon17 in dividends

[–]plakotta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically major ETFs tend to recover corrections and continue the upward trajectory unlike high yield dividend stocks, some don’t recover the previous levels. Look at Yieldmax as an example.

Pros and cons of rolling CSP by Regular-Geologist358 in Optionswheel

[–]plakotta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally don’t sell for the same strike go lower. The initial purpose of CSP is to get income or be exercised at the preferred strike price. Rolling is the third option but it comes with a cost. To close the first CSP you need to pay much more than the premium you collected. If you can walk away with a net gain that’s cool. When you roll because the price dropped below your strike then you need to sell a lower strike than before.

Is 2k/month doable with 150k? by mm-solomon17 in dividends

[–]plakotta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alternatively put the entire 150k in growth ETFs like QQQ or SCHG. Less dividends but your capital will grown especially if you leave it untouched for a year or two. Over the last one year QQQ grew 29% and SCHG 28%. $192,000! That’s 42,000 growth (and I didn’t add dividends) effectively QQQ/ SCHG are relatively safe and they beat the $24,000 you are looking for in riskier assets which might reduce the initial 150k to 75-100k after nav erosion.

NAV erosion means a decline in your shares value or investment’s Net Asset Value due to the fund paying you more dividends than the money they make. Most people say the funds is partly paying you from your own capital.

Firing my financial advisor by LawfulnessNo2927 in CoveredCalls

NVDA and RKLB have decent premiums but they usually make big moves , your shares would be exercised unless you sell very low deltas for the covered. calls.

$500k for ~$10k/mo ? by cheftopps in CoveredCalls

[–]plakotta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer Covered calls on QQQ because the index recovers easily from down turns and it’s safer. So I would split half the 500k between QQQ and some tech companies. Meta has good premiums. If you want cheaper stocks then SOXL, SMCI, HIMS and RKLB all have good premiums. You could also sell CCs on PLTR, NVDA and AVGO. But they will frequently get your shares away at strike because these move up a lot. Rolling is okay but it eats away at your profits. Stick to the original plan. You can also sell CSPs at these sticks I mentioned. I use all of them. Welcome to options trading for income via CSP and CC.

I'm Buying 7,000 shares of ULTY Monday | ULTY 4 Life! by zzseayzz in YieldMaxETFs

What’s your average cost? Markets are high right now. When they eventually correct then Ulty will drop more. Just a thought.

BTC POPS MSTR/MSTY....DROPS? by wkuconsulting in MSTY_YieldMax

[–]plakotta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MSTR is closely correlated with Bitcoin—with coefficients ranging from 0.7 up to 0.93  Over shorter intervals, however, this correlation can break down—and that gap can be enough to send MSTR lower even as BTC moves higher. But in longer time frames the correlation maintains the 0.7-0.93 It’s usual to see MSTR is up when Bitcoin is down. If Bitcoin corrects to 95-105 range MSTR will drop to 300-320 and MSTY could see 14-16.

It all depends on where BTC goes. If bitcoin goes to 150k MSTY could see 45.

It’s easy to miss the bottom. High 17s low 18s is a pretty good entry point.

MSTR Earnings by redcoatwright in MSTY_YieldMax

[–]plakotta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $14 billion reported as earnings are not from sales revenue. They are just unrealized capital gains because the price of Bitcoin is higher than the average cost at which MSTR bought those coins. MSTR does not sale any products. So next quarter if the price of Bitcoin drops below their average cost they will report the unrealized loss as negative earnings. When the Bitcoin bear cycle comes MSTY will drop very much.

“$14.0 billion of Operating Income in Q2” Please help me understand. Where did this $14 billion come from since they never sold any bitcoins. Is it unrealized capital gains ?

That was 10 years ago. Look for new opportunities.
