I stumbled onto this, but it basically restates what was discussed in option alpha up thread.
OCH : (Option Clearing House)
19%: Expired worthless.
11.6%: Exercised.
69.4%: Bought or sold to close.
Closing an Option Position - The Options Playbook
Oh wise sage, can you offer some LEAP buying suggestions? I have to believe this is a historic opportunity.
Based on timelines given during the presentation, I'm guessing Jan 2022, Jun 2022 and Jan 2023 should be ripe for the picking. I need help comparing the risk/reward of various strike prices.
TIA

I was looking at a covered put that is out of the money. The premium is pretty high.
I had some concerns that I hadn't interpreted it correctly. This is a weekly. October the 2nd. Strike is 540.

I am also trying to snag some LEAPs, but prices are so far out of whack it doesn't make sense right now IMO.
In March I got a JUN 2022 call for ~33.00 post COVID. Right now its worth 790.00 (pre split). I could buy 1/5th of that for 160.00 today. So the value proposition is just ridiculous compared to what it was before.
So then lets look at way out of the money (OTM) strikes. Jan 2023 500 strikes are 150.30, 900 strikes are 93.00. So pretty outrageous compared to the paltry 33.00 I spent in March for 1/5 of of the exposure. I am not sure I want to gamble 93.00 on the fact that TSLA is going to TRIPLE in value (to 1.2T market cap) in 2 years.
It seems more reasonable to go for a slightly OTM option -- so JUN 2022 $500 strikes are $120.00. I'd rather take that bet versus the 900 JAN 2023
I sold another batch of calls for today about 12 calls, $470s, $485, $510 and $520 for a total of $1.9k.
Have you guys noticed that premiums for next week are super juicy? I sold a $575 call for $9.90 just now.. I am wondering if should wait for next week or just sell more Today.
This week it was kind of bitter sweet for me.. I had the chance to make some decent money but I lacked conviction.
I end up at $4125 for the week. The premiums for next week look sad.. .as of I right now I don't think I am going to sell any calls for next week today. I can only get 100 bucks per contract strike $500. Hopefully we get a big bump on Monday so I can sell some more calls.
Yes, I closed out a bunch of calls early thinking I might have the chance to re-sell them on a battery day bump. Fortunately, I harvested about 65% of the premiums, but did wind up leaving money on the table and similarly, think the premiums are paltry right now for writing new short term calls. Hoping for a big Monday SP increase to open up some additional opportunities.

I sold a put at 310 as a weekly it may expire. With that being said, I have my finger on the close to buy button.
I got the vernacularly wrong. I was more interested in the premium.
Why not covered Puts?

I don't have any cash to sell puts in my accounts but I could do some on margin and I also haven't lost any shares to covered calls yet to sell puts. I did sell some $340 puts for my parents last week and yeah the premium are better on the put side. I still have some options that I bought that I need to close in my retirement accounts that when I close them I might use that money to sell puts.
