From 385k to 395k in 2 days!!
Closing in on 80% of the way there! Let's do this!

Covered calls aren't free money.
The biggest risk isn't the option premium.
It's owning the stock.
Collecting $200 in premium doesn't help much if the underlying drops $2,000.
The underlying matters more than the premium.

Alright @optionscjp let's see what all this gambling you are doing is about

[Dark M @_darkm1ner]

Made the mortgage payment this morning and my first thought was "ouch."
My second thought was that I've got a home, a family, a roof over our heads, and food on the table.
Perspective changes everything. Truly blessed.

Discord straight hit the snipe this morning
Quick 60%

[Dark M @_darkm1ner]

Covered calls in 30 seconds:
Own 100 shares at $50.
Sell a $55 call for $1.00.
Collect $100.
Stock stays below $55 → keep shares + premium.
Stock finishes above $55 → shares can be called away at $55.
The tradeoff:
Income today
Limited upside above $55

$AMZN faded from 259 to 249.67 this week
Bounce-short zone: 254-260
Needs a daily close under 242 to break down
Target: 239 (pivot lows, 200d¿241)
Close over 263 & we go up
Options are pricing about +/-7.7 this week.
Jobs report Oct 2.

STSLA got smacked off 387 Friday.
↑
Here's the map for the next 2 weeks
Dip buy zone: 354-366
Needs a daily close over 387 to break out
Target: 396 (right at the 200d)
Close under 345 & I'm wrong
Options are pricing about +/-17 this week. Jobs report Friday could shake it up.

One rule I have with CSPs:
Don't sell a put on a stock that would make me panic if I woke up owning 100 shares tomorrow.
Assignment isn't necessarily a failed trade.
Selling puts on companies you never wanted to own in the first place is where problems start.

Out here getting ready for the Premium Junkies Invitational @TTheWheelDeal

+7,000 on this one! LFG X fam!

[DarkMiner @darkminer]

Stop looking only at the premium when selling puts.

Calculate return on collateral.

$90 CSP
$200 premium
$9,000 collateral

$200 ÷ $9,000 = 2.22%

If that’s a 30-day trade, you’re collecting 2.22% on the capital securing the position.

If you are trading naked, you can probably go down another 5 strikes & get the same return on buying power.

Always know what the capital is actually earning.

Slowly but surely we grind towards the $125,000 goal!

Hoping to break through $8k P/L this week

[DarkMiner @darkminer]

Selling puts is one of my favorite ways to potentially buy stocks cheaper.

This year alone I’ve sold 1,345 contracts.

Example:

Stock: $100
Sell $90 put
Premium: $2.00
Expiration: 30 days

I collect $200 immediately.

If the stock stays above $90 → keep the $200.

If assigned → buy 100 shares at $90.

Effective cost basis = $88.

That’s the basic idea behind a cash-secured put.

The whole goal is to get PAID to buy a stock you wanted to purchase for a cheaper price. If you don’t get assigned, you keep all your premium and try again.

There is nothing better in this planet than this right here.

Time to soak in some time with the ones we all work are asses off for. Blessed 🙏
