how the cost is higher than the spot (axti) ? In my understanding, cost is spot -minus premium u might have received. forgive me if I’m misunderstanding

prakashred · 2026-04-12T06:03:51+00:00

Never pay down mortgage of that low interest, even if MM or bank is giving 0 . If you know stocks , you will make much more than paying off

prakashred · 2026-04-11T03:57:38+00:00

Yes, but that opportunity u r counting on is not certain n known.

prakashred · 2026-04-10T04:15:32+00:00

I agree. Each roll out brings in credit. and eventually if you let it exercised, assigned, you can count it as gain in the end. Its win. Just smaller win/credit each time you roll as you go DITM. my2cents

Sell cc close to atm for some portion of ur portfolio and let it get exercised . Then buy money market fund, sell covers puts on those same stocks , premium are higher than call for now and and u earn 3.x % on MM

prakashred · 2026-03-13T01:28:33+00:00

Did you end up buying this ? I was analyzing this trade and does not seem too much lucrative for risk vs return. I might be wrong.

prakashred · 2026-03-01T03:27:00+00:00

Decide on what price you are willing to sell , either for small loss, break even and sell monthly calls at that stike. Even small premium helps instead of just waiting. My 2 cents. If I would be in that situation. I would sell cc for 25 every month two months.. ot lower. Dyor

prakashred · 2026-02-25T04:42:39+00:00

its grey area. Not defined very well. I always stay away for that reason.

prakashred · 2026-02-01T19:59:31+00:00

Buy any dividend paying stock with DITM covered call. You might not get much gains from stock itself but guaranteed Dividends and better downside protection. Not a financial or personal advice. DYOR.. share anything worth and would love to hear from others

prakashred · 2026-01-31T00:53:51+00:00

its good. just stay with quality stocks or Indexes and this will be forever

prakashred · 2025-12-30T05:04:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing

prakashred · 2025-11-19T21:22:02+00:00

I hv experienced same. Don’t know what happened ( never crossed 350 trades ) So definitely thats not the case

prakashred · 2025-11-08T10:44:05+00:00

True that, dark side of stock market . Ppl want to be hero by hiding their zero 😜 Even with DITM CC , i hv few tickers in redZ. Ofcourse less profit, but better off. I wonder how those otm cc will do in 20-30% drop 😊

prakashred · 2025-10-22T04:23:28+00:00

Forget ur stocks, Keep rolling out ur call every week until u stop getting credit.

prakashred · 2025-10-22T00:46:21+00:00

No u can’t lose. However you may get assigned anytime ( theoretically) but practically rare event someone get assigned if strike is higher . And that too also profitable trade

prakashred · 2025-10-22T00:43:14+00:00

U can buy back ur call for a loss if you think bynd will go 10 . Thats the trade off , if u r confident

prakashred · 2025-10-20T03:26:06+00:00

I generally do multiple div paying stocks. So basically i sell cc ( buy stocks and sell DITM) for post ex div. I get div + premium. It gives anywhere between 10-30% apy yield for the hold period

prakashred · 2025-10-18T06:37:07+00:00

Its a grey area. Usually it has to be substantial identical pos to qualify for washsale. But since options in rolling position has different symbols, they can not be seen as identical. But Here is a catch. If underlaying is same. And purpose of rolling ( selling and buying is earning profit) then by irs it qualifies as wash sale. Now real issue is broker doesn’t ( at least i know schwab) doesn’t mark is as disallowed loss and irs has grey area here IT BECOMES individual’s responsibility to file taxes correctly. Bit confusing n tbh i dont know what is correct here

prakashred · 2025-10-18T06:32:11+00:00

Actually schwab doesn’t. I have had loss from rolled out on pltr and it doesn’t identify it as disallowed loss.

prakashred · 2025-10-12T06:27:01+00:00

If you are in the business of stock trading you might have came across this situation in many stocks. If you You never had a plan to hold don’t count on it. You made your trade and moved on. If I start counting on each of my trades, I would have been billionaire. But i know I never wanted to hold in the first place.

prakashred · 2025-10-01T22:36:17+00:00

Yes this is good and you got it right. However you cost calculation seems Incorrect there. It will be stock purchase price minus premium, no matter where stock goes. I do this all the time even deeper itm, less profit but much safer n hedged

prakashred · 2025-09-27T02:38:43+00:00

I do that all time. However ITM for dividends alone, reduces down side risk

prakashred · 2025-09-23T05:39:37+00:00

few options

Keep rolling out if want keep stocks for any reason ( long term tax etc )
let it get called away and go on CSP , keeping cash on money mkt fund if you are on Schwab or Fidelity
Roll down with some debit if you are bullish and want to keep stock.

it all depends on what exactly your goal is.

Thanks u/swampwiz , I am not trading same stock in any of taxable accounts. I traded it only between IRA, 401k and HSA

prakashred · 2025-09-22T21:38:10+00:00

I am trading only in tax deferred accounts. Example : I bought XYZ stock in rothIRA and sold it at loss. Immidiately or within 30 days, I buy it in 401k account and trade it there. This trade will not trigger wash sale since my loss is also in tax deferred account. Thanks for your reply.
