In all fairness, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the gains involved here.
How does one preserve huge returns on skyrocketing shares? Buying puts sounds like burning money.
I am looking at a 37% or so tax rate on anything I sell, and the unrealized gains are huge. In many of the instruments I own, the gains would be 95% or greater of the overall sale proceeds.
I am not complaining here.
Does anyone have recommendations on how to go about protecting profits without actually liquidating? Is the only way to become someone that does not absolutely suck at the timing needed to both buy and sell puts at the right time?
To be clear, I am not interested in selling and see TSLA at 10,000 or so in five to ten years, if not next Tuesday.
Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks to all and congrats!
