How I Earned $175 Selling Palantir Cash-Secured Puts and Buying Them Back 🐶📈

1. My Options Puppy Journey and Why I Chose PLTR

As part of my ongoing “Options Puppy” journey, I’ve been experimenting with ways to generate consistent income from the stock market without taking excessive risks. My strategy has always revolved around two simple yet powerful tools: covered calls and cash-secured puts. Recently, I applied this disciplined approach to one of my favourite companies in the AI sector — Palantir Technologies (PLTR).

Palantir is not just another tech company; it has positioned itself as a critical player in data analytics, government contracts, and now increasingly artificial intelligence integration. With strong future growth prospects, it is a stock I would not mind owning long-term if assigned. This makes it a perfect candidate for selling cash-secured puts.

⸻

2. Why Cash-Secured Puts Work for Me

For those who may not know, a cash-secured put involves selling a put option at a strike price you are comfortable buying the stock. You receive a premium upfront, and in return, you take on the obligation to buy the stock at that strike if assigned. If the stock stays above the strike, the option expires worthless, and I keep the premium. If it dips below, I buy the stock at an effective discount.

The beauty of this strategy lies in its win-win nature:

• If I get assigned, I own PLTR at a lower cost basis.

• If not, I still pocket the option premium.

⸻

3. The $200 Strike PLTR Puts – My First Series of Trades

I started with the PLTR 200 strike puts, expiring 20 March 2026. These are long-dated LEAPS, and the premiums were substantial because of the high implied volatility.

• My first trade: I sold at $37.45 ($3,745) and later bought back at $37.05 ($3,705), booking a neat $40 profit.

• The second trade: I sold at $36.50 ($3,650) and bought back at $36.20 ($3,620), earning $30 profit.

Though these may look like small gains, the power lies in repetition and discipline. Each trade gave me controlled profits while keeping my downside risk covered with cash. The total gain from these two trades was $70.

⸻

4. The $180 Strike PLTR Puts – Adding Shorter-Term Profits

Next, I moved to PLTR 180 strike puts expiring 17 October 2025. These carried a lower premium than the $200 strikes but still offered good income opportunities.

• First cycle: Sold at $7.05 ($705), later bought back at $6.50 ($650). Profit = $55.

• Second cycle: Sold at $6.90 ($690), bought back at $6.40 ($640). Profit = $50.

That gave me $105 profit on the $180 strikes.

⸻

5. My Total Earnings – $175 in Realised Gains 💵

Adding both sets of trades together:

• $200 strike puts = $70 profit

• $180 strike puts = $105 profit

• ✅ Grand total = $175 earned

This $175 came from just a handful of trades, using nothing more than patience, risk management, and my conviction in Palantir as a long-term stock.

⸻

6. The Rewards of My Strategy 🌟

There are several rewards to this approach:

• Consistent Income: I earn premiums even if I don’t end up owning the stock.

• Discounted Entry: If assigned, I buy PLTR at a lower price than market value.

• Risk-Managed: Because I use cash-secured puts, I avoid margin calls and ensure I can handle assignment.

• Flexibility: By buying back the puts at lower prices, I lock in profits and free up cash to re-sell puts again, compounding my returns.

⸻

7. The Risks I Respect ⚠️

Of course, no strategy is risk-free. With cash-secured puts:

• If PLTR drops heavily below my strike (say, to $120 or lower), I could be forced to buy shares at a much higher price than the market.

• Implied volatility can shrink, lowering premiums on future trades.

• Opportunity cost: cash reserved for assignment cannot be used elsewhere.

However, because I choose strikes I am comfortable owning and only use spare capital, I treat these risks as manageable.

⸻

8. Technical Analysis Supporting My Trades 📊

When selling puts, I also look at technical support levels. PLTR has strong support around $180 and $200 zones in its long-term chart. This makes those strike prices logical entry points. If the stock stays strong above $180, my puts expire worthless and I pocket the premiums. If it dips near those levels, I am ready to own it at a discount.

The recent uptrend in PLTR, climbing to around $186, gave me confidence to close out my puts profitably rather than waiting for expiry. Technical momentum plus options premiums = a powerful income combination.

⸻

9. Looking Ahead – More Cycles of Income 🌀

The beauty of cash-secured puts is that I can keep repeating this cycle. I can sell another put, wait for price moves, then buy back cheaper. Each time I collect small profits like $30, $40, $50, which add up to hundreds or even thousands over months.

As long as PLTR stays volatile, premiums will remain rich, and I can continue this strategy without overstretching my capital.

⸻

✨ Final Thought: Small Steps, Big Wealth

Earning $175 may not sound like a fortune, but it is consistent, repeatable, and risk-managed income. This is the essence of my Options Puppy journey: learning discipline, managing risk, and compounding small wins into long-term wealth.

By focusing on quality companies like Palantir and strategies like cash-secured puts, I am proving to myself that trading can be both safe and rewarding. Every trade teaches me patience, confidence, and the value of structured investing. And with each successful cycle, I step closer to my ultimate goal of financial freedom through smart option income.
