[@alenbabakhanians5864]

Great explanation! One thing I would add regarding the con is the potential loss of income if SIRI were to, let's say, reach 7, 8, or 9 dollars. Your gain would be limited to only $0.32.

LOVE this. there's a stock i want at $5.50. why place a standard limit order and just wait around hoping for the stock to drop to $5.50 for the trade to execute? instead, write a cash secured put at a $5.50 strike over and over again. that way i get paid to wait. thank you brian!

Great explanation! I would've mention that $450 will be needed in the account and will be locked until the expiration.

[@frankkoempel7701]

I feel this should have been necessary, some may not have known.

[@tamaica7770]

Good point. But i wonder if you only had $200 in account and the broker allowed you to sell that put as in the example above. When the expiration comes, how are you gonna pay or I don’t get this part.

[@ggmanatee]

@@tamaica7770 They wouldn't allow you to do so, it's cash-secured, so you need that as collateral, effectively.

Another risk is if the stock skyrockets before the expiration date. For example, if SIRI goes from $4.89 to $6 before the expiration date, you could've made $1.11 if you had just bought the stock. Instead you only make 32 cents from the CSP.

[@zmoney100]

[@timothyy7]

im preparing to deploy a cash secured put on an etf, but you should also mention that having the necessary funds is needed ahead of time. so if you're buying SIRI at $4.18 then you will need to have $418 ready to be assigned assuming assignment.

[@ddude27]

Does timing also matter when you create a contract and it gets agreed upon? I'm assuming the advantage of buying a stock outright is the freedom of when to buy and sell as opposed to cash secured puts. Unless I have it misunderstood.

[@titaniumsandwedge]

This video explains cash secured puts very well. But puts can be used in more ways than shown. Example: Some stocks have weekly options. It is more profitable to sell weeklies as the time obligation is much shorter than monthly options. Dividend stocks can be played to harvest the dividend and option premiums. It starts with a short put position that is assigned causing the investor to own the stock. With the stock, a call can be sold against the position to gain more premium. It is vital that the stock be kept through the ex dividend date so the dividend is harvested. The daddy of all plays with puts is to use margin secured puts. As it sounds, an account with margin can use it to secure a put position. The magic of this is that no interest accrues on the margin that secures the put. But a margin secured put can go bad if the price drops forcing the investor to buy the stock.

[@ashleykim6432]

How did you learn how to trade options

[@titaniumsandwedge]

@@ashleykim6432 Just by trading options. They are confusing for the newbie.

Hey Brian 👋🏼 could you do a video on money market accounts? From what I understand, that can be an account that keeps your cash liquid and can also have a high yield!!

[@clearvaluetax9382]

[@SuperKarthick12345]

Great explanation..but quick query ..if stock goes down the underlying put contract value will also increase ..how do we manage that loss?

What brokerage do you recommend for a starter?

[@mbg9650]

With 22 DTE, are you more exposed to Gamma vs taking position at 45 DTE & closing position at 21 DTE?

[@riseofkilling7248]

do you have any videos about investing into a Roth IRA and how to take out money from it? Thank you!!

[@Just.1.Reality]

One thing I don't understand is why you can't set up an automatic sell position on the underlying stock at $4.18. That way if it falls to $1, you would still be net $0 as the sell position negates the losses of the put.

[@RubberCityRebel]

I did that when it was called shorting puts

[@heinzyketchupy4175]

So basically sell puts on companies you like? And only ones you like, bc the benefit of owning it or not is good either way?

[@pegazuz1977]

Awesome explanation - why would anyone take the other side of that bet? Seems unbalanced.

[@thebrilliancyofreality4408]

Does it get sold automatically after the expiration or do we have to sell to close?

[@michellejackson7293]

This is so hard to get I ready want to learn this

[@zebholt03]

so 1 put is 100 shares, and you buy the contract for .32, does that mean you are always expected to lose or gain $32? or does it depend on how many shares are actually bought or sold?

[@TheJ0Lim]

Is the price based of the closing price or is it within the trading day. IE the stock went to 4.20 but then closed at 4.51. Would that put be exercised??

[@clairewyndham1971]

Can I do this for Berkshire Hathaway?

[@brianlb78]

When u sell the put you're basically shoring it. Do you have to buy the put back at anytime or do u let it expire? I'm guessing u do t have to and if u do you basically cancel the trade and don't have to buy the stock if It falls to or below the price?

[@Freesmoketvv]

Do u have an options course ?

[@imhiLARRYous]

I got absolutely destroyed selling puts on AMC before the reverse stock split news. It was $5.26 at the close before the news came out. Currently trading at 70-80c split adjusted 🤦‍♂️ down 80%+ just like that on the assigned shares

[@samvader9678]

Awesome video! Are premiums taxed at short-term or long-term?

[@TheShadowxRiPPeR]

short

[@Answers721]

"Awesome video! Are premiums taxed at short-term or long-term?" An option can be for over a year, although that is probably more usual for institutional investors that are math geniuses. So most of the time you would be charged for short-term gains of less than a year.

[@clearvaluetax9382]

It'll be short Sam.

[@psharp2468]

The only exception: you can usually do these cash secured puts in an IRA (tax advantaged accounts). In those, you won’t worry about taxes until you pull funds from the account.

[@clairewyndham1971]

Brian- do I have to buy 100 of any stock that I choose to create a account? What if I can't afford 100 shares?

[@utkbyuca89]

Yes, you do. If you don’t have enough $ in your account, brokerage will Not execute your trade. ‘Cash Secured’ put. Find a cheaper stock you can afford to buy 100 shares.

[@chillbillch]

Can you get out early?

[@melzdesign]

It's all sounding wonderful, until it's actually time to pick the right stock. more often than not the premiums are low. and more often than not the stock price actually falls. Highest premium will happen only when stock price is at (Resistance) while selecting ATM strike price. and that's a great way to watch the price fall below strike and get assigned. if you choose below current stock price ATM, the premium will go down by a lot and it won't be worth it. if you choose a higher stock price, the premium will be amazing, but you gotta be super bullish for it to go higher by expiration. can't wait to see your next video on how you pick the right stock! and hopefully it's not a small cap companies.

[@0_1_2]

If you’re hurting for money, now would be a good time to borrow more money and get into options.

[@JakeTheStockGuy]

Your also missing the other scenario as in SIRI goes to 20 and you missed that gains of the shares which is 300% for some premium you sold

[@user-kg7kg7nu2v]

Do u need to have the 100 shares before you do this?

[@miguelmoreno543]

No you do not. When you’re selling the put, you’re taking on the obligation to buy 100 shares of stock at the strike price you chose. If and when assigned, you’ll be long 100 shares. You just need to make sure you have the capital available.
