I did it for a while back in 2020/2021. Main factors I considered was weekly options (vs monthly only) and the ATR. I also used cash secured puts to use as a "coupon" towards shares I was going to buy anyway.

Why did you stop if you don’t mind me asking?

And yeah CSP are liking getting a discount on stocks at the exact price you want. That’s why they are attractive for me

High volatility = higher premiums. On the flip side I guess you have to be comfortable with the wild swings that’ll make your options get exercised
stocks that are more cyclical make it less wild. proper strike choices make it more likely the contract will expire worthless, and more theta gives you time to buy back contracts if things are not going how you expected. also, holding the premium until the contract is gone is always the best policy

earnings report dates, dividend pay days, important voting deadlines and opex settlements are the kinds of things you try to be aware of if you dont want to get exercised.

if you absolutely hate risk, then you can just sell extremely high strikes that are almost never going to be hit. the money is small, but it might be comparable to a savings account or a dividend.

also, you can sell with the intent of buying back, i sometimes will sell far dated calls hoping to see about 20% to 30% profit and then buy back the calls before anything else can happen. might miss money but there arent many things that can get you returns like that.

For anyone who crossed 100k in their portfolio some time back, how long did it take to hit $200k/$300k/$400k ?

Right now, it's looking like I'll cross $200k in a year and half or so from now.
I'm trying to hit a million within the next twelve years and in the mean time I've been promoting and increasing my savings rate. Just trying to see where the wealthy brehs are in their journey that are near my age.
(Late 20s/Early 30s), of course I'm down to hear from anyone much older than me as well.

Makes sense that it’s predictability would play well with these strategies. SOFI’s low price makes it a good candidate too as you can accumulate 100 shares with little capital
Only bank stock I'm in right now is NU...

If you want to load up, that is the stock to do it with...This is guaranteed to go off at some point, they have 40% of the Brazilian market on lock and spreading like a wildfire in Colombia, Mexico...Number one credit card in Mexico and they just started there...

Earnings report is on Monday, nows your chance to cop under $6...

I could possibly toss $100 to $200 into it, but aren't Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil BADLY struggling right now?

The inflation is a good thing for NU. everything in these countries is done through cards, no more paper money....

Guess who is issuing the cards...

Look at their earnings reports...
I take this as hyperbole, but even still, do you have a source for the bolded?

I'm not trying to be annoying, just want to know more before considering buying into the stock.

Seems like most folks I've mentioned it to, barely knows space tourism is a thing.



If spce is correct, it starts this year.


Reuters) - Space-tourism company Virgin Galactic Holdings said on Monday that a four-member test flight will take place in May and that it aims to launch its first commercial flight in late June.
