Jake, this is by far the best video on cash secured puts I’ve come across. You were very clear, made the content immediately understandable and you basically answered all the questions I had. If I could have asked for one further clarification it would be on the sell to close area as I am still a bit shaky on the actual mechanics of it. What also helped me a lot is that I also use Schwab so the screens were familiar to me. Excellent job!

@Jake , by far one of the best explanation I have come across, at times I ask myself, are they really trying to share the info in a comprehensive manner , you did an excellent job, all of my questions, concerns were answered, thanks for sharing this info .

This is an excellent and thorough explanation of selling puts. I have made tens of thousands selling calls, and finally ready to expand into puts. Just entered my first order! Really appreciate your sensible style and the way you cover all possibilities.

@@janice7958 If you decide you no longer wish to hold the stock, you can buy the call back for less than you received in premium, however you may have a loss if you sell the stock. For myself, I try to buy stocks that I plan to keep, so I may well just hold the sinking stock, and allow the call to fully or nearly fully decay to keep the premium. I often cover calls as they near expiration, perhaps with a low cost GTC order. This way I get a jump on selling fresh calls for the next round. However, I will admit that the lower the stock drops, the more difficult it is to profit by selling calls since I want to strike price high enough that I will not lock in a loss if that price is hit and the stock is assigned to the call buyer.

Great tutorial was the best to understand of all I have seen previously

Great video Jake! I started practicing CSP and your videos has help me so much. I do have a question when it comes to time decay. Previously you have mention to sell put options 2 months out from expiration to collect more premium. However the slide you showed in this video about the time decay of an option it clearly shows that after 30 day period the option decay faster. In thay case wouldnt this work best for us, since we can buy to close at a lower price and collect that premium? Please if you are able explain this further. Thank you Jake

When you talk about the buy two close at the end, is that plus the premium? Lock in profits is plus the premium and the profit the contract has increased to?

Excellent video. Very informative. I'm a little confused about the "Buy to close" part. Can I get out earlier than the 30 days? Can I get out early if the stock drops very close to my strike price?

@MiguelRPD

Жыл бұрын

You can get out at anytime. If the strike is closer to the stock price then the covered call is valued more than the day you created the contract. So you lose money because you have to pay more to get out. However. If the stock price is further down than the strike price, the value of the covered calls is lower, so you can close at a lower price and you'll profit the difference.

When executing a CSP, do you choose sell to open in the drop-down box?

Thank you! Another good tutorial! Please also cover how to cancel the put contract via buying to close.

@JakeBroe the way you described ITM and OTM at approximately minute 7:49, you described it from the perspective of the Cash Secured Put Option Seller, correct? Otherwise, I think it should be the opposite of what you stated, I might be wrong but I'm asking to seek clarity.

Thank You Jake, I am beginning to understand a lot of this. Question, I believe you planned on selling Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts for the year. I see you bought a lot of researched Calls to take advantage of a possible spike with the stimulus checks coming out. Is that because the upside is unlimited with the Calls compared to a fixed amount with the Cash Secured Puts or is it that you could use margin to increase your upside potential with the calls while Cash Secured Puts would freeze up your buying power? I am assuming both give you leverage verse buying the stock? I also like how you are buying long calls and or selling short putts and using Theta to your advantage.

@JakeBroe

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you have it correct. When buying a call, there is unlimited upside, whereas with just selling puts (or covered calls), the most I can make is 100% on the premium I was paid for selling the contract. I'm being super aggressive and pretty risky at the moment, but I just don't see the money in the market running out or drying up anytime before this Fall. So I'm willing to let it all ride by buying volatile call contracts on companies I like.

When selling a cash secured put option, does the collateralized funds in the investor’s Vanguard money market account earmarked for the possible assignment of the shares desired continue to earn the dividends/interest until the option has expired or shares of stock assigned?

​@Jake Broe why not sell 1 or 2 week contracts instead of 30 days?

What happens if at time of expiration the price is out of the money but the option value has decreased. Do you owe on that negative option value if you choose to let it expire and not buy to close?

so, I do have a question, I recently sold a cash-secured put with a premium of 185. I later bought the put to secure the premium and my collateral, but my premium was never released, and I ended up losing roughly 10 dollars on the contract. Also, the share price wasn't below the strike price, so I am confused about why my premium was negligible.

How ex dividend affect on selling puts?

Jake, I'm not sure why your definition for delta is different than what I've usually heard. The delta is the change in the option's price vs the change of the stock's price. A delta of .30 means that the option will go up by $.30 when the stock goes up $1. For % of probability, you could look at standard deviations.

@JakeBroe

Hey John! Your definition of Delta is correct. It is on the slide I showed and in my video explaining the Greeks. However, people also use Delta as a rough estimate of probability of a contract expiring in the money. Not truly scientific, but a good rough estimate.

Can you close it before expiration day? Let's say entered cash secured puts today but decided close today

How often do you get lucky when the price of the stock goes down below the strike price but you do not get assigned? I had COST 327.50 P last week, and the price went down to 322.37, but I somehow didn't get assigned. It was below the "break even price" as the premium for the contract was 3.20

@thomasd5488

@Tommy Lee "So if the trade goes below my strike price at anytime before the expiration date, I get assigned, right? OR the expiration date is the FINAL determination if I get assign or not?" The option BUYER has the right to exercise at any time, at any stock price (even out of the money), before expiration. BUT, it very rarely happens with puts, before expiration. The option buyer does what is financially beneficial to them and exercising before expiration causes them to lose the extrinsic value (time value) of the option premium. They make more money selling their put option rather than exercising it. "can I get out of a option contract at anytime I want to with a "buy to close" or "sell to close"? Win or lose, don't matter I just want to get out for whatever reason scenario." Short answer, YES! Long answer: Always base your choices on whether it is financially beneficial to you. I suggest you not "Buy to close" a cash secured put or a covered call, for a loss. Don't pay more than you received for selling it. Learn to roll the option out to a farther expiration day, for a net credit instead. Most broker trading platforms allow you to do this in one transaction. At the same time you "buy to close" the option for a debit, you "sell to open" a new option with a farther out expiration date that earns you more premium than the debit, so you have a net credit.
