I agree that many people are considering NVDA as the "Stock of the year." However, I'm curious about which stocks could potentially become the next Nvidia in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, aiming to retire comfortably.

[@JohnMatthew-hq3xs]

I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to Nvidia, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

@@OptionsPlay It's interesting that very few traders ever speak about 2 year Bull Call Spreads when they offer the greatest returns that I've witnessed. Why is that? Everyone just super short term in their thinking? An investor can go to a 30 Delta and end up making 2, 3, 4, 5, at times 8 X their money. And you can pull out along the way if it doesn't look like Tesla or NVDA etc...will end up there, without losing much or any capital.

[@dkTruthBuster]

One doubt. At 1:00:34 once you got assigned, you started selling calls for the strike price at which you got assigned. Now what if the underlying stock or indices keep falling again and again to a point that your 429 strike price never yields any premium at all? In your example, fortunately it bounced back to 430, and hence you could continue selling puts again, but don't know what would you do for the case I mentioned above. Thanks for your time and this excellent videos

[@OptionsPlay]

I addressed this in the video, yes there is the possibility that you collect very little income, but usually there is still some very small yield. Remember that you are comparing this to a buy/hold strategy that would have the same downside risks without any yield.

[@tanaka.shinji1]

​@OptionsPlay so it is ok to keep receiving penny premium for more than year if market crashed, and spy stayed less than 350 for months or even years? It is not about comparing buy and hold. It is about how long you continue to receive penny premium.

Hi Tony, very important question here and it was not mentioned in the video: after I sold a weekly put option, if my position has over 50% gain just after one day (given a market rally day), should I close out by buying it back, catching the profit, and then sell a new put at 30 delta, starting a new round of this wheel strategy?

[@sookiansheng]

Hi Tony, after my Sell Put gets assigned, what happened if nobody buy the Sell Call from me?

[@OptionsPlay]

95% of options trading is fully electronic market making. They guarantee quotes on both the bid/ask and as a retail trader you will almost never be able to take the full available liquidity on the bid or ask. However, as a general rule of thumb, it’s best to check options liquidity before entering a trade.

We are doing "short put" which is bullish and so it is not unusual in a bullish market. Why does Tony say, this is unusual at 30:40. I am little confused. Any thoughts please? Thanks.

[@salmr9433]

Hi Tony, Are you saying to sell a new naked PUT on the same day your previous PUT expires. Would that not double your margin exposure on the day? Also if you sell the new naked PUT in the morning and the market tanks the previous PUT will get assigned at the end of the day. Now you will own 100 shares and also have a naked PUT. So should you Roll or decide the next day on selling the next PUT. I hope the way I worded it makes sense? or If anybody else understands what I'm asking I'd appreciate you input. Thanks

[@OptionsPlay]

Thanks for the question. Just to clarify, you should never have two puts at the same time. You would want to close a put before selling a new put to open.

[@dennisdavis9602]

Hello. Have a great day trading.

[@moonahmed7834]

Biggest issue with wheel is the strategy fails when an index peaks. If you are selling calls because you got assigned and the etf/index keeps tanking the premium could get to the point where u basically get nothing on the weekly calls all while potentially losing hundreds or 1000s on the 100 shares. Eventually the calls at your strike price basically will net you a .01 assuming it’s that far out of money. If there is some protection against this in this strategy I’m all for it. Someone let me know. I have the cash but I’ve tried wheel strategy and that’s the issue I noticed. I ended up buying to close the call because it was too far out of the money to generate any premium vs the money I was losing. Your only option seems to be to move your strike price down which puts u at a potential loss on the shares if u have to move down far enough.

[@OptionsPlay]

Look, the Wheel strategy is not a magical strategy that doesn’t experience any downturns. It’s a strategy to be deployed for your long term investment portfolio. Any long term investment portfolio will drop in value when the market drops. However the wheel strategy will consistently add anywhere from 5-15% annualized yield consistently on that portfolio that will offset some level of downside.

When I get assigned, does it only happen on the day of expiration or the assignment can happen on any day before the expiration?

[@orlandofl6297]

Technically, assignment can happen any day but in the real world, the vast majority of assignments happens at expiration

[@wayallen831]

In an entering bear market, you might be assigned the options and the stocks keep going down. There'll be a period where selling a covered call that is so far OTM that the premiums are very small. Of course, if the stock eventually goes back up, then the premiums become bigger, but the risk comes for certain sectors where the sector can get hit for a long time before coming back up (eg, housing sector ever since fed increased rates)

[@OptionsPlay]

You’re right. Keep in mind that this strategy is comparable to a long term investment strategy. So consider that when timing when you start trading this strategy.

[@FredLe-qc3hi]

Don't you think if these were monthly then risk of assignment would have been alot lower?

Is there a risk of being assigned a contract after hours? During trading hours, you are OTM, but after hours, it goes ITM on the day of expiration.

If you look at the returns on 30:40 sheet, if you bought 100 shares of spy, you would have had 8700 profit, while by selling the options, you only had about 3000-4000 return. So how does this strategy work on spy. Maybe works for other more volatile stocks like NVDA? The premium is higher in put options?

Does anyone have a sample spreadsheet for keeping track of returns? Im terrible with spreadsheets and cant seem to get one to work.

[@gabeauerbach6083]

Great presentation, but you didn't spend time addressing the margin expense. At about 7+%, your broker would charge you about $70 per week to borrow the money, which is OK if you have it. A way to lessen the pain is to follow the strategy exactly, and buy into a broker's money market fund so you can earn about 4%-5%, (or about $40/wk) for putting up the $50K to buy 100 SPY. If my assumptions are right, the differential margin expense would cost you about $30/week. ($70 interest charge to you minus $40 you earn from the money market.) You should be getting more than $30/wk selling calls. But, you still need $50k to buy 100 SPY to offset the interest charge to you for margin. I think it's still a sound strategy.

[@kmarar]

Sound is poor.

[@vpardude]

Theoretically you can, however the liquidity in TQQQ doesn't hold a candle to QQQ. You may experience very different results once you factor into transaction costs.

[@drek273]

I’m so confused. He keeps using the term “covered call” are we not selling a naked call once our naked put is assigned? If not, that means we should just buy 100 shares of the stock while selling puts & calls as stated as opposed to having the margin requirement $ amount in your account

[@JamesDidato]

He is indeed 'assigned' the 100 shares, which means he does have to acquire the 100 shares of SPY, but his Broker, because he is a Tier 4 client, enables him to take assignment with partly borrowed funds from his broker and he is partly using his cash. So he is essentially charged a small interest rate (usually around 12-13% annualized in todays market), while he is using his brokers capital to help him acquire the shares. He must have the equity somewhere else though, either via stocks, bonds, or cash, for the broker to allow him to do this. So it is indeed a covered call that he is doing.

[@drek273]

ok in that case can I just hold the full 100 shares in cash in order to avoid the interest once assigned? Also, do you think it makes more sense to own 100 shares of the underlying while I sell puts and calls? or does that defeat the purpose of the strategy?

[@JamesDidato]

@@drek273 Yes, you can hold the full 100 shares in cash in order to avoid the interest once assigned, sure. It can make sense to hold the 100 shares if you would like to sell calls. If you are looking to sell puts in addition to holding 100 shares, the broker will likely have additional margin requirements (need more cast set aside because you may be assigned on the next 100 shares for the puts you sold and you may need the cash to acquire those in addition to the 100 shares you own).

[@OptionsPlay]

Once your naked put is assigned you will own 100 shares of the underlying. So you are covered when you go and sell the call, it will not be a naked call.

Great Video... Since I am trading through my IRA and cannot get Level 4 for margin, I have put a different spin to this strategy I am selling Bull Put Credit spread. Selling a 30 Delta and buying a 10 delta for my protection Current trade Sold 515 put on 4/5 for $2.02 purchased a 505 put for $.057 Net credit $1.45 ($145.00) Putting up $1,000.00 in protection. $145/$1000 = 14.5% ROC . If assigned have cash available to start selling Calls. Your thoughts?

[@orlandofl6297]

In my opinion, your risk to reward ratios are off with that example. 1 max loss would wipe out 9 weeks of max profits. I aim to make at least a quarter to half of my max loss on credit spreads to reduce the risk

[@marksoberay2318]

I don't like this I would rather sell in the money covered calls here's why you're talking about having enough capital to own the shares anyways, you have a greater chance of success and the call premiums are much higher than puts w weeklys plus u get the dividend sometimes

[@JamesDidato]

But for Capital Efficiency, the returns he's receiving very well may be better than the covered calls. Because he's using just the margin requirements ($8500 to eke out those weekly returns) and even when assigned, he's not coming up with the entire amount to buy the shares. He's using his brokers money to do much of it. That's why the margin requirement says $20K when assigned. So the numbers would indeed need to be crunched to find out whether he is still able to eke out better returns with this strategy based on the capital he is using.

[@marksoberay2318]

@@JamesDidato ok look right now at the april 6th spy chan...523 put 2.44 523 call 325, close price 523.07 so 7 cents in money if it goes below 523 you own the sares in either case but you collect 33% more premium for 1 week, 5% interest that week is about 50 cents per share so u are slightly ahead w the calls

[@marksoberay2318]

So its kinda a coin flip w calls a bit ahead but what i like is when stock falls to your price you keep the previous intrinsic value instead of getting no reward for being assigned a put...and u still get paid for the interest difference

[@quantcooker8549]

These return numbers are not realistic because you should use each entry gain divided by your bankroll rather than the different margin requirement each time. Or at least you should always use your highest possible margin requirement (20k+) because that is the money you need to set assign for doing this strategy, and likely plus some additional fund for buffering, and these are your real working capital. You are overestimate your % return by a lot here.

I disagree with your numbers. When selling puts your going off the margin requirements of just the put, but in reality you never know when your going to be assigned so you really need 25,000 to 30,000 in cash set aside for this strategy. So really you need to figure your profits off of that margin week after week, which significantly reduces your returns. It should always be off of total margin requirement for the whole trading system.
