When you look at the breakdown in the numbers I can see that you're using a cash account. Do you personally use a margin and portfolio margin account for your trading? Reason I'm asking is because we you apply 2:1 RegT margin or even 6.7:1 portfolio margin (at TastyTrade) to the model the returns are eyepopping. Eyepopping number with a mostly conservative methodology is super attractive.

I'm curious about the possibility of a Wash Sale/Trade if price is above $35 at expiration. Do you accept the wash trade and continue with LTC and the additional paper work when doing taxes or move on to another equity still using this method of an ITM trade. I personally do not like messing with wash sales so I make the strike just above the purchase price. Your thoughts.

Great video, Dave. Are you considering another NVDA earnings trade this coming week (08/26)?

Great video indeed

Hey Dave liked the recap video. Where can I download your covered call calculator? Thanks.

I do this same technique for ET, F, O, LTC, AGNC, and others. Sometimes a stock gets called just before the ex div date when it's too deep ITM. Is there a way to select an ITM strike price that's not too deep to get called before the ex div date?

I do this on HRZN and SCM. Monthly with 10% annual dividends yield but I only sell CC after the ex dividend date.

Why In the money as opposed to at the money?

After watching your video I went back and looked at LTC's chart. You did make a little (your 5%). I'm curious what you did when the stock did drop to ~$30 per share. Did you add more? Thanks for all your information and insights.

Hi, curious to why you chose the expiration 122 days out on the trade? What was that based on?

Thank you for this video. Interesting sweetener to a month dividend income strategy. What tool were you using to build that covered call calculation?

Only missing was a pipe and a martini on the intro!

So what would you have made if the stock went to 38? I am just a little confused about how these ITM calls work. The examples you gave were if the price lowered to the call price and below. My understanding is you make the premium when you sell the covered call. So I assume you would make the full premium. What about the stock appreciation over 37?

How did this video drop supposedly five hours ago for a trade made very early in 2023?

Thanks for that, glad to see you were allowed out of your office :) in the beginning.

Thanks for this topic. I'm a holder of LTC and have written CCs but have found the spreads to be challenging for this underlying. Any tips on how you look for entries for this trade or similar situations? Btw, enjoy your videos!

What is this new background? I'm not good with change!!!

Thanks for putting this together for us Dave!

It is "comprised", not "compromised", which gives it a totally different meaning. Ready to hire a sharp editor for a pittance? 😂

Pssst? Dave, you left the faucet on.

Hi,I own a few of these stocks. Do you think 20-30% of individual stocks is too much to have in your portfolio? According to many so called experts it should never be over 5% which i choose to ignore

Thank for for covering this! 🙏

I have an idea about using a variant of this inside a Health Savings Account. I am about to retire at 64 with 1 million dollars. The HSA has roughly $100,000. I will not be able to contribute anymore after 1 year. I will be using this fund to pay health bills. I am considering the following: 50% SCHD, 25% JEPQ, and 25% VYMI. SCHD AND JEPQ give protection in a draw down and VYMI gives diversification with international funds the overlap comparison looks really good and all three give good dividends to pay the health bills. What do you think. P.S. started my 20 year old daughter with exactly what you have except 50 xlk, 25 schd and 25 xlv.

I know this is entertainment purposes only and you’re not a financial advisor, but I’m 55 years old and plan to go to 865. What are some good recommendations for low cost index funds for someone my age of 55 comments are welcome.

Always interesting to look at these reviews a year later. Fair coverage. I am glad i got in to this and is has its place in my top 3 holdings. Passed the recent VIX spike with ease!

Hows it working now?

Enjoyed the video as always. Can you make a video (or link me to one already made) on when you sell CC otm on an underlying that you want to keep LT and it goes on a hot run and now you’re going to get called away… would like to hear your breakdown on rolling, just buying back the cc at a loss and keeping shares, or even taking a chance on losing the shares, selling a put at the same strike or maybe lower, etc. I recently got called away on a CC stock I didn’t want to sell but I let it go. Turned around and sold a put at the same strike, hoping for a pullback to get assigned. So far it’s still far otm so I’ll probably just collect the premium. I’ll do it again but obviously the premium will shrink and eventually I’ll either have to up my strike or figure something else out.

Oof, owning Intel stock...

$140 for 100 shares of AAPL for a week, seems to pail in comparison to how much the value of the underlying will change in a week.

Glad to see your channel growing. It’s well deserved.

Thank you for the easy to understand illustration and explanation. Have you explained about more complicated options trading pair like straddles, strangle and butterfly etc. I have not able to fully understand the use case of it and the steps needed to come out with such options pairs.

I’m interested in learning more about how you set up your ITM covered calls on Realty Income. Do you have a video on that? 14:16

If I'm going to sell options, I want to take some risk to make more money. Winning little trades is not worth it. I like to sell ITM calls expiring in 60 or more days on stocks that have had a recent big move up. My goal is to trade and hopefully buy the option back at a lower price sometime during the life of that option. I'm betting on the stock to be subject to some profit-taking. I also do the reverse. Selling OTM puts on stocks that have recently been beaten down. Believing there is a good chance the stock will go higher during the options time frame. The way the market is now both tactics have worked quite often. The more volatility the better.

Nice video. When do you do ITM covered calls vs cash secured puts? How do the premiums compare?

Just found your channel and I love the way you explain options. I am considering selling a call ITM, so this video was very helpful in understanding the concept. Thanks.

Clear explanation, thanks. If you are willing to pay others to worry about options variables and like the OTM approach, would you say that buying ETFs such as DIVO, JEPI, JEPQ etc be more efficient in the long-term ? and, of course, if you are limited by money and can't access 100 shares of good stocks to trade then those ETFs are the best way to go ? I would guess penny stocks are not good for this strategy

Be interesting see how you are playing Nvidia earnings this time, cash secured puts across earnings again or covered calls since it's already recovered alot in the past week or two ?

I like slightly OTM covered calls (usually about 5-10%). But it is still dependent on the underlying stock. I wouldn't sell many CC's on NVDIA simply because of the price volatility and the growth potential. I like slower moving, predictable stocks. And I like 1-2 weeks out...the price, usually, is more predictable and no one knows what the price of any stock will be at an extended date. Just my preferences.

New to your channel but learned so much from your videos. Thank you sir!

Pay Attention !! Time to Upgrade The difference between professional KZbinr and basic KZbinr have a line of Thumbnail only !!! I'll do thumbnails but that's not really important but the important is it increases the CTR of your videos, I work with many youtubers and i know what a youtube channel needs.. So i offer you 50 thumbnail at the price $199. That you use multiple times on your KZbin video .Probably this is one of the best investment i here from my clients !!

I like playing with options but I don’t like all the variables you have to stay on top of to trade them on individual stocks. So I sell options on the triple leveraged indexes like UPRO, TNA and TQQQ. The regular indexes don’t have enough volatility to make the premiums interesting. I usually sell puts where I can make 1% and if they get assigned I turn around and sell calls at the money. I keep the cash to secure the puts in a money market paying 5% so I’m making money there plus the option premium. I should make 15-20% on my money this way but of course I would have made more just buying and holding the stock…

Please no cheesy stupid stock videos. It's all the rage on KZbin. Horrible.

You look exactly like Doug DeMuro from KZbin

In the last 30 days, QDTE has been aiming at 2.00 dollars in distributions during the month of August 2024.

This is 0ne of the best explanation on a SPY strategy that I've seen! Your explanation makes it very easy for me to understand and I really like that you walk through your thought process of constructing the trade too. Thank you

So many of these covered call funds being introduced. Do you think the value of the premiums will decrease over time as more are being sold to these ETFs? I'm a bit worried about this.

Better to buy Cali muni bond for California residents. VTeB still will tax you for local taxes , only fed exempt

Great interview
