It took me several years to figure out this strategy, but once I got the hang of it, I immediately saw results.

I’ve been investing since the covid lows when I bought my first stock. The next day I immediately saw the returns and was hooked. Later that year I discovered Options Trading and saw some success… In a matter of months, I quickly turned $17k in $39k and thought I was the king of trading options.

A few months later I saw all of that and more get slowly drained from my account.

Determined to make things work I kept researching and then I found out that you can also SELL options instead of BUYING them.

This was a small shift in my mind but what really got me going was finding out that over 73% of Options EXPIRE WORTHLESS.

Once I saw this I knew it was something… Back in 2022 I only had a few thousand dollars to my name, but Selling Options was making me a consistent $50-$100/week.

It wasn’t until I deployed more capital into my accounts that I started to figure out what the true power of Selling Options can do for you.

Last year, our net profit was $30,278! This is money that was made from watching the markets and pressing a few buttons for maybe 1hr/day. It’s so easy that everyone should be doing this. If you’re not, you’re leaving A LOT of money on the table.

The win rate for this strategy is great already, but if you’re Selling Options on High Quality Companies that you don’t mind holding, then your

January is finally over and after reviewing the numbers, we made $5,097.32 in profits from Selling Options. This past week we collected a total of $1,694.18 in profits.

Here are the breakdowns for this week’s trades:

SOFI, HOOD, CELH, HIMS, MARA, AMD, UVXY, SOXS, & SQQQ were traded this week. Here’s the breakdown of the trades:

SOFI

For SOFI I sold (5) 17P, (9) 18.5P, (10) 18P, & a 15.5P. Total Profits were $1,042.08

• This isn’t a typical week’s worth of profits, SOFI had earnings this week so the implied volatility of the options was very high — This can be very good for Options Traders depending on what side you’re on

• SOFI had great earnings, but lowered their guidance which made the stock sell off quite a bit - This gave me the profits on all the calls that I had sold.

• I’m a fan of the team and the stock so I started to sell puts, but those went quickly under water.

• With only a few hours left into the week, they turned green (even though SOFI was still red and under $17) so I exited that trade and kept the capital for other opportunities

• Positions for next week — (2) 15.5P, (10) 18C

HOOD

For HOOD I ended up buying 100 shares at $52.76 and immediately sold the 53C. Total Profits were $27.92

• Buy-writes can be great if you want to squeeze the extra premium out of a stock at the end of the week.

• I didn’t want to get into HOOD initially, but with the Crypto news and the how Bullish the sentiment is I figured I could get in and get my shares called away at $53 for a gain of 1.6% in a day ($24 from the share appreciation + $62 from the option I sold).

• Sadly, I got too greedy and sold when it was hovering around $53 for small profits and opened the position for next week instead

• Position for next week — 53C

CELH

For CELH I sold (2) 29.5C. Total Profits were $5.84

• I had sold the bulk of my shares last week for a ~$1,500 loss. I believe that the market has it wrong in the long term and they’ll come out on top but I didn’t want to have $10,000 just sitting there waiting for the market to eventually get it right… I ended up taking that capital and placing it into SOFI for the trades explained above so it worked in my favor

• I still have 200 shares of this company in another account so I will still be selling options on it in the short term

• Positions for next week — (2) 29.5C

HIMS

For HIMS I sold the 27P, and the 33P. Total Profits were $67.78

• I realized I was wrong about HIMS…. This company currently trades at an $8B market cap and is quickly becoming a leader in the space with arguably the strongest brand out of all of them

• Compared to its competitors, it’s the smallest fish in a big pond and it’s got lots of room to grow

• I’m going to be selling puts on this company a bit more aggressively from now on. No positions for next week yet, but I’m going to be keeping a close eye on this stock for opportunities

MARA

For MARA I sold (2) 20C & (2) 20.5C. Total Profits were $127.60

• I like this stock because it’s a BTC proxy without being too heavily reliant on BTC. It definitely gets volatile sometimes, but Crypto is here to stay and in the early stages things will get volatile

• Right now the exposure to this stock is low for me, but if it dips I will continue to buy more at attractive prices

• Positions for next week — (2) 20C

AMD

For AMD I sold the 128C. Total Profits were $102.92

• I had sold this the previous week, so when the DeepSeek news came out this option did well to hedge some of the hit.

• In the short term this stock probably sees more pain with the AI news still coming out. I see this as a buying opportunity and will position myself accordingly and will continue to buy a small amount of shares at a time

• Earnings are also next week! Should be interesting to see what happens and how they respond to questions around DeepSeek

• Positions for next week — 131C

Hedges

If you’ve got a significant chunk of money in the markets, my thinking is that you should always be hedged — While many peoples’ accounts took a big hit this week mine was relatively neutral because of these hedges.

UVXY

Positions — 18P, 19.5C, (2) 21.5C, Total Profits were $88.62

SQQQ

Positions — (4) 29.5C, Total Profits were $39.68

SOXS

Positions — 23C, Total profits were $7.92

Thoughts on the next few weeks:

After the DeepSeek news released a lot of stocks sold off, but there have been multiple instances of Chinese companies not telling the truth entirely. They’ll often times fluff up their results and get people to buy into their schemes.

It’s too early to tell if this is something along those lines, but one things for sure…It’ll force companies to innovate quickly.

There will probably be some pain in the short term for tech stocks, but rotations should be watched, there’s always a Bull Market somewhere.

If there isn’t and we stay stagnant for a while, Options Sellers will be winning🥇
