I noticed Robinhood's massive recent rally, which was fueled by two major catalysts: its inclusion into the S&P 500 portfolio and the favorable regulatory push for 401(k)s to expand into alternative assets, a move that is set to greatly benefit the platform’s competitive IRA offerings. Feeling that I was a bit late to the trade, I decided to take a cautious entry by selling Cash-Secured Puts (CSPs) at a safe distance from the market price. This approach has paid off perfectly: I placed the contracts safely beneath the recent rally's strong technical support, and the market held firm. All of those deliberately conservative contracts have now expired worthless, allowing me to keep the full premium. I find this strategy to be a highly effective way to earn income and learn about a new stock before committing capital to the underlying shares, and I will continue to use options to manage a possible slow-entry into HOOD while the stock attempts to consolidate its massive gains.
