Dear @nntaleb,

Reffering to how hard it is to express antifragility, I just wanted to tell you that in Romanian there is an old expression that refers to the concept of *antifragilility*:
“Ce nu te omoară, te face mai puternic” („What does not kill you, makes you stronger”🫡

@benjaminfelix Essentially, these indices that track a portfolio with a perpetually rolled covered call are characterized by lower drawdowns and lower volatility, and the returns are only slightly lower: https://t.co/ACiaQF9Qw8.

Or, these characteristics may be useful for certain investors :)

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

@benjaminfelix Amazing work! Thanks for the insights! Have you also looked at the BXM and BXMD indices, created by CBOE? They have a long history (since the 80s) and might be more relevant for comparison purposes.

@OptionGrowth What are your plan to mitigate losses if the trade goes against you?

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

This is what I received before my first cycling race 🚴‍♂️

Tomorrow is the start 🇷🇴

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

People chase “the big trade”.
One hit could make them rich.
What actually works for me was boring:
👉 Covered calls
👉 Credit spreads
👉 Collecting small, steady premium

Consistency beats excitement. Every. Single. Time. 📊

Early in my journey, I wasted money buying options.

They looked cheap… until they all expired worthless📉

Then I read McMillan and Natenberg.

It changed my perspective:

Most options expire worthless → the edge is in selling.

That was my turning point. 🚀

When I first learned about cash-secured puts, it clicked.

Instead of chasing stocks higher, I got paid to wait💵

If the stock stayed up → I kept the premium.

If it dropped → I bought it cheaper.

That’s how I realized: selling #options isn’t gambling, it’s smart #investing.

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

Option selling won’t make you rich overnight. 🚫
But it can give you:
💵 Monthly cash flow
📉 Lower risk than buying options
🎯 A system you can repeat
This is how pros treat the market:
As a business, not a casino. 🏦

@RolfOptions $TLT, $USO and $GLD

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

80% of options expire worthless. 📉
Guess who benefits from that?
No *seller*. 💰

Option selling is about collecting rent from the market —
week after week. 🏦

Most traders chase 🚀 big wins.
Option sellers chase 💵 steady income.
Selling premium =
📈 Small, repeatable gains
🧠 Probability on your side
🔒 Defined risk (if you choose spreads)

Consistency beats excitement. Every time.

Risk control isn’t sexy. 🚫🔥
But it’s what keeps you in the game.
Credit spreads:
✅ Limit your max loss
✅ Lower margin needed
✅ Keep your learning curve cheap

Small risk. Big lesson. 📚

💡 A covered call is basically renting out your stocks.

You own the shares. 📈
You sell a call. 💰
You get paid while you wait.
It’s the landlord mindset…
but for your portfolio. 🏠📊

Do you agree, @OptionGrowth ?

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

@RolfOptions Why don't you sell / mortgage it?

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

@WheelStrategist Yes, that's why you are a wheeler :)

I also do this strategy, but only to $TLT at the moment

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

🎯 Option sellers don’t guess.
They sell where the price is unlikely to go.
It’s not about being right —
It’s about stacking probability in your favor. 📊

Be the 🏦, not the 🎰.

Do you agree, @WheelStrategist ?

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

@RolfOptions @WheelStrategist That's one of the goals of this account. Spread the word and explain the advantages of using options

[Short Option School 📖 @ShortOptionsHQ]

💬
Imagine selling something that you hope becomes worthless.
That’s what option sellers do every day.
And when it expires worthless,
we keep 💰 the premium.
That’s the game.

No thrill.
No fireworks.
Just controlled, repeatable income.

💬
Buyers bet on direction.
Sellers bet on probability. 🎯
If you’re selling options, you don’t need to be right —
You just need to be smart with risk.
🧠
Get paid to take risk the market is pricing in.

That’s edge.
Not guessing.
