To The Moon

Unlike the stock market where you can only go one way, the options market offers tons of strategies for different situations! You may ask yourself: “Which strategy should I use this time?” 🤔 The basics, like long or short calls/puts Covered call and selling puts — often mentioned by the pros in the community A time-sensitive 0DTE play Advanced multi-leg strategies such as vertical, straddle or strangle ...... or other strategies you love! In fact, our Options Handbook covers even more strategies you might want to explore. Is the best strategy for the next two months a covered call? This strategy is really only suitable for stockholders—the kind who hold their positions no matter how much the market drops, ignoring the noise and staying unmoved. A covered call (also called a stock-collateralized call write) involves holding a basket of stocks while selling call options on that same basket. Why the next 1–2 months? Because the tug-of-war around Fed rate cuts is far from over. Looking at four simultaneous dynamics—VIX at new lows, indexes at new highs, Bitcoin starting to slide, and gold hitting new highs—market volatility over the next 1–2 months is being seriously underestimated. While the upcoming CPI print may not change the Fed’s decision to cut rates by 25 bps in September, it will significantly influence the pace of rate cuts for the rest of the year. It works best in the following scenarios: Mild uptrend – If the strike price of the covered call is set far enough out, gains are still possible (though option premiums will be lower). Mild downtrend – Setting a closer strike price can help cushion moderate losses. Underperformance in strong rallies – Since profits are capped at the strike, you won’t benefit if the stock soars much higher. For example, if XYZ rises past $50, your max profit is locked; further gains to $60 or $100 won’t matter. However, it’s not the best for major selloff risk – covered calls don’t protect against steep drops. In that case, buying puts might be a better hedge. 👉 You can learn more about covered calls in detail in our Options Handbook (see page 36).

I especially like it when my stock is stuck, as it allows me to collect premiums instead of just waiting. Sometimes I use straddles around earnings when I don’t know which way the stock will move, but I expect volatility.
