Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.
What people don't realize is that the money you make on these per option is $50-100. So unless you own LOTS, you are making very little and you aren't going to get rich. Not saying you cant' do this over and over and over and over and it will add up... but just want to keep people's expectations realistic.
This did not age well. NIO is 5.40
I think expiration date is a function of checking that your gaining time value premium in a linear fashion for each week you go out. I’ve found sometimes it’s best for 1-2 week expiration because going 3-4 weeks out barely gives any extra premium. Just something to evaluate each time
Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in last month 2023
I have to cut you off just 2:30 into your video. Selling CCs is NOT a bullish strategy. It`s not. The ideal scenario for selling CCs is the flat-to-slightly-bearish direction. Why? Because the flat part insures that the NAV will PROBABLY not rise above your strike price (if you followed recommended Delta choice of 20%ish) and cause your shares to get assigned away. Slightly bearish because, slightly bearish is at least not falling knife bearish, and as long as you keep collecting option premiums you continue to lower your cost basis, and so you can handle slightly bearish because overall you are stil in the black. The bullish strategy is NOT doing CCs at all, it is owning the stock, or the index, so your upside potential is not capped, as it is by definition when you are doing CCs. Your 'double bottom' thesis as your downside protection also was not valid, as NIO is way down since your video, to 6.08 as of 2/15/2024. Good luck in your trading.
Love your videos. Way different compared to people who try to sell something in the name of quick money. Very educational. I have a good amount of experience in stock market but I have never made a consistent returns. Your strategy seems interesting. I tried out a couple of times, and it worked. I need more experience to be able to say if it's gonna work in a long time or not. However, my question to use that you do make YouTube videos, trying to educate people and make revenue out of them. Can put a small video of how much YouTube pays you for the number of subscribers or the viewers? Talking about transparency will help a lot in people trust in your videos.
I like NIO at $6-7. I think we will see NIO at these depressed levels in 2024, Q2-Q3. I would love to sell calls on NIO. I remember when it was in the 60s, I flipped NIO for 2X when I bought it at $30 some time in 2020.
A safer stock for option sells would be one with a rising chart, not falling. If the stock gets called away you make money on both your OTM sold options and the shares.
Henry, at the beginning of your video, you discuss selling call options, but your screen is set to buy calls. This would most likely bring the premium collected much lower than shown, but it’s still valid content for today and the future. Continuing to show how we should repeat the covered call process is important, just like in the wheel. Thank you
Do you sell options in a company name? Or, do you sell in your personal name? Salute
Ok, I fomo'd. I took 100 shares of NIO at 9.20 and sold the CC at the 10 strike for 0.1 credit expiring this week.
Nio is definitely not a safe stock at all. I learned my lesson
The problem with covered calls is the only ones with decent premium are the high vol assets like Tesla, Bitcoin Miners, tech small caps. Then you end up blowing your account when you get called away. It's better to just hold the assets and take your own premium in interest payments at the end of the day.
Thanks Henry. It looks like it's time to trade OTLY again. I sold 10x $1 Put a couple weeks ago. The premium is juicy.
Hi Henry I bought my first contract which was American Airline. I bought a put at $7 which was out of the money, and it went up to $9 then down, to $5 I then sold it. I’m a beginner, and now can see the fundamentals of what you are saying it’s good, for me because I’m learning thanks, for the information now I can go closer to the share price. I’m just being cautious I want manage my risk, and thanks for helping me.
This is an old Video !
Thanks for this Henry! I been watching you for about a year now! I finally sold a couple call options! Thanks for all this!
do you sell the covered call in the same order (stock leg) or do you open the positions separately?
