It’s more the percentages that matter. Even if you can only get 1% on your capital in a week selling the puts (bps), that’s still over a 70% return annualized. You tell most people you have an annualized 70% return rate and they think your crazy.
Awesome job with the 10% weekly and 32% monthly returns.
I was thinking the put premium was crap too until I remembered my goal is 2% return on the capital invested and 1% portfolio wide per week. Right now a 710/-810 is a 1.95% weekly return rate. With earnings over now, I am more comfortable turning these into IC’s adding another 1% -1000/1050.
I opened some 800/-850 yesterday 6.16% weekly rate then added -1000/1050 for another 1.77% weekly rate.
I know 850 is much closer than many of you are comfortable with. IMO we have known about this quarters stellar performance for months. The street just found out. I think we are heading for 1000 next week. I’m more concerned by the call side of my IC’s than the put side.
We have to remember that we had crazy not normal priced puts for 2 months now. The pricing now is more the norm.
If 1% per week isn’t good enough, maybe the other thread is better for you.
(not directed at you EV forever, this rant has been building since Thursday when everyone started saying about bad put premiums.)
