How Much Money To Retire Option Trading

[@ericbergman7546]

We all know, these days, the stock market seems like the center of attention, and it's a place where fortunes can be made or lost. Always be cautious and well informed before making any move.

[@christopherherbert2407]

I agree, Investing in the stock market can be a bit like navigating a maze. Without the right aid, it's easy to stumble into pitfalls.

[@georgeearling905]

l've heard stories of people who made some unfortunate investment decisions, I have a friend who actually lost a significant amount of money recently because he was all about the trends

[@rodgertim2881]

Al stocks will dominate 2024. Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long term growth potential, and provide a platform for other Al companies. I have made more than 200% ROI from NVIDIA with the help of my advisor. I agree the stock would go higher in the next couple of days.

[@hillarybriggs2561]

High-yield dividend stocks come immediately to mind as they offer steady passive income streams at inflation-beating levels, for a certain return should these crazy markets turn south.

[@sebastiaanthijn7982]

Those high yields don't mean the equivalent amount in dollars will be disbursed, I will advice seeking counsel from a local broker, I myself work with a fiduciary who is a fixed-income specialist and multi market strategist in New York

[@verndubin2209]

Second time watching your video, good stuff. I'm a dividend investor aiming for slow and steady growth. Currently 39 with a 600k portfolio, my plan is to retire at 50 with 2m. Recently, I switched to dividend stocks with my fiduciary, opting for fractional shares. I used to prioritise dividends for passive income, but with slow growth. Now, I'm taking a chance on high-growth stocks, and already saw a 120% increase since last year. Hoping to hit a million sooner.

[@verndubin2209]

My fiduciary is “Valerie Ellen Cirbo” You can easily look her up. She has years of financial market experience and she is also FINRA & SEC verifiable

[@genericwatcher2439]

High growth is gambling, I work with a guy who brags when he makes $20k gains every month, 6 months into the year, I asked how he was doing because I was jealous, he told me he was $40k DOWN for the year.

[@azieltobias]

Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasized for first-time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.

[@lilyhershey1]

It's a good idea to seek advice at the moment, unless you're an expert yourself. As someone who runs a service business and sells products on eBay, I can tell you that the economy is struggling and many people are struggling financially.

[@mellon-wrigley3]

I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $2m with the help of my advisor from an initial $350k investment.

[@Gallo-firestone]

​ *@mellon-wrigley3* That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?

The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from “Gertrude Margaret Quinto” to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.

It surprises me that people make much money selling calls or puts. Whenever I look at options chains and think about how high the calls have to be so I'm pretty sure they won't get exercised or how low the puts have to be so they don't get exercised, it's not much money at all.

[@moteq6598]

it really helps if you have a big account, because if you have a small account, you'll most likely have a hard time to own a 100 shares of a blue chip stock. And if you do own one, you're not really making much when you sell a contract that is further OTM to guarantee they won't get exercised.

[@coreys5353]

The problem I'm having is my covered call stocks like NIO and AMC keep dropping in share price. I'm making premiums, but I'm down thousands. I am being patient because I believe they will go back up, and they did a little today.

[@tonynunez6539]

NIO and AMC are very bad stocks. In order to be successful you need good quality stocks with great earnings and guidance. NIO and AMC have huge problems and are only good for buying puts. Some great stocks are META, NVDA, CRWD, ELF, WING, and PLTR. Doing the research before you invest is critical.

[@tonynunez6539]

Waiting for a very bad stock to go up is a classic error to avoid. Learn to only buy great stocks and get out of bad stocks quickly. If the market is going up and your stock is going down you have a serious problem.

Great video, thanks for the insights. I am in a similar situation like the first scenario but I cannot imagine making an 8% monthly return on my money with selling puts. I mean, at times there is high volatility in certain stocks but so far that always turned out to be a bad move. I average at around 3-4% with selling puts. Can you share a few more examples on how to get these returns?

So am I hearing correctly that you no longer work with people who have small accounts? Or is that specifically if they want to work with you one on one versus joining your program and having a small account? Hope that makes sense.

[@adrianpriddey5690]

Hi Henry , do you help people based in the UK ? Thanks

[@magicsmoke0]

I’ve recently started selling options and I just don’t see how you can get 5% a month. If you target a .30 delta, you’re looking at 1-2% return if you’re lucky and that’s on good stocks and if the price action is in your favor

[@moneekdilawari4508]

Trade stocks with higher IV, usually higher beta stocks. Enphase strangles are currently paying me 5%.

[@robertbaranoff1178]

I am watching your videos, and they are very interesting. Please send me more information about your classes. There is something you don't mention: for safety reasons, you should never use 100% of your capital in option sales. That means if you have 150K, you should really use 100K, and 5% per month, which is a lot, would be 5K.

[@Joejoes1276]

[@joeskwara5823]

Henry forgive the dumb question When you say 25000 and he makes 2000 a month is he putting up the whole 25000? For example when you said in a prior video you had a 50 percent growth on one million was that entire one million in play with options.

[@montel0220]

The 25k is held as collateral.. if things go against you then you have to add money to maintain 25k

[@rogersol.youtube]

Curious about this as well. Always wonder if people are leaving a certain percentage open in cash. Unless they’re leveraging margin to increase buying power.

Secondly , with Jim having 300k and making 9k a month , are you not going to account for uncle Sam's money ? Also let Tony know I can make him 7-10 % a month .

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

its really not as difficult to make money.. you just need money.. thats it.. lol.... open a high liquidity position and just run the wheel.. when that position is going against you (as market is dropping). leave that position alone.. open a new position.... just keep doing this and eventually your first position will recover, and you get out.. keep rinsing and repeating.. this is why the rich keeps getting richer and the poor will stay poor.

[@moteq6598]

it's literally pay to win. If you have 1 million dollars and you have a 1% return for the week, that's $10,000. Meanwhile, if you only have $10,000, that 1% return is only $10. So either you deposit aggressively to grow your account and pick a strategy that gives you a steady income, or stick with your smaller account and make really risky bets until you reach your threshold where you're making less risky bets, and more on wealth preservation while still making great returns.

[@jasgap]

Why the 25k are you using margin?

[@frozenyetimug]

Seems crazy that your first client is making around a 10% return (2k from 25k) monthly just selling options, unless he's using some stocks with crazy IV and therefore high risk. Without some proof, I'm a little skeptical.

[@alchemista2]

I like what you say regarding life philosophy and being frugal and focusing on experiences not materialism, etc. HOWEVER, what you keep alluding to in your videos is that it should be straightforward and "easy" (30 minutes a week) to make 3%/month on your money, which comes to 42.5%/year. That falls into the too-good-to-be-true category for sure. If it was that simple to earn 42.5%/year, you'd see many more people achieving those returns, and we know that is not happening. Are you cherry-picking certain "clients" stories out of a range of returns? It comes across in your video like 1-3%/month should be easy, even at 1% that's still 12.7%/year which many people would be very happy with if it only took 30 minutes/week of trading. I like that you're not promising a life of luxury and super get rich quick, but the numbers you're putting out are still well out of range from what is simple to achieve.

[@Da_manndom]

I’m in his discord and I can say I have made 2% monthly for the past 6 months and that’s me going for conservative plays I will say 1-4% is reasonable but I have only been able to consistently make 2 so still not bad it’s legit you gotta remember most people myself included don’t learn about options or are told they are too risky but you choose the risk his coarse helped me learn a ton I can say that for sure!

[@lamd1791]

What Henry says is true, when choosing the right stocks you can easily gain about 5% per month. Its hard for you to see because you haven't followed his option strategies.

[@rogersol.youtube]

@@Da_manndommind if I ask a couple questions? 1. Are you using margin to increase your buying power for collateral? 2. What’s the average DTE for the contracts you’re writing? 3. Are you closing out early after a certain percentage or mostly holding til expiration?

[@Da_manndom]

@@rogersol.youtube 1. No margin for me just 37k. 2. It depends but average is 10-30 days 3. Normally 80-90% depending on how long I have until option expiration or 70% if it’s a really volatile stock but I only do those with a very small amount of my portfolio!

[@alchemista2]

@@Da_manndom that might be true for some individual traders, but the professionals and larger traders aren't scared off by options. They would love to get an "easy" 13%+. If you're getting 2% that's 27% compounded annually - which the major players would love, especially if it only takes 30 minutes/week. I'm very interested in this strategy, but either these returns are cherry-picked to report the best, or there is some large downside risk that isn't being mentioned.

[@handdle-h2o]

its not easy to make 3% a month in fact over the long run it is impossible. Bernie Madoff promised less than 1% a month and investors flocked to him later they found out he was not able to make 1% a month. Very rare so do not get too exited about these types of videos and try to buy puts when volitility is low as it is now.

[@larrythecoderguy9560]

Another awesome video from Uncle Henry. I love how you give your talents to help others. I've watched all your videos, many of them 2-3 times because options were brand-new for me. I'm applying your techniques with very good results and learning a lot as I go. At some point when I have time I will sign-up for some coaching. Simple question if you have time, If my 2-week covered call is going for me but I want to lower my strike price to gain additional premium for the same expiration date, does my new premium replace my first premium that I received or is it additional premium for me? Thanks!

[@InvestwithHenry]

What you mean going for me

So you only like students who was blessed into money with clearly no understanding of how to make it since they never had to. Its making sense now.

[@rogersol.youtube]

How many days are these contracts open for on average?

[@petkuscinta9797]

I agree with making 3% per month consistently. That is very real at acceptable risk. That is +35% anualised realised P/L. Last year I have done 34.7% and this year to date is +10.4% (more like 62% anualised) so I am ahead this year but some moths are less good so 30% is good. 8% is aggressive, very aggressive as that is doubling your money each each. You can do it if you have income and spare money that can drastically lower breakeven of unrealised losses. Untill you hit capital level where you no longer can use your salary income left over to rescue mission high risk unrealised losses.

[@Iisalovesnike1]

Define retire! Stay there. Your money is worth more.

[@RiggiosMiners]

To achieve a secure retirement, aiming to save at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) is advisable. Online tools can assist in calculating the best savings strategy for you, considering factors like age and income.
