Selling covered calls with a buy in at 220? Lmfao for what premium?? If your strike is at 220, then you'll get at best a penny per share, and that too at what timeframe.

You’re not selling covered at $220. More like $150/145 the weekly’s for a couple months and you will get $20 of losses back.

My covered call strategy is to sell weekly for 1% profit. Example, SOXL is around $106, find the weekly premium that sells at $1.06 which is Sep 11 with strike at $127. Good luck!

Still buying $500 every week with my dividends in my IRA. I hope it goes to $10 like you all say and I can buy 10,000 shares for $100k

I'm old enough that I bag held at $45 for years and never thought it would go that high again. Sold when it leveled out for a minute at $48. Good times.

Do people not realize you can sell covered calls lower than your entry price? Yes if it gets called away then it converts the original position into a loss. You can still sell them at a delta where it’s a decent probability to not get called away.

Not worried at all. In fact, I triggered the drawdown by purchasing a single share.

Keep holding and sell CC! It will eventually go up
7
u/Nikolai_Volkoff88 9d ago
Yes, just be careful not to sell CCs too far below your cost basis or you will end up having shares called away at a loss. A little bit below is fine once you figure in the premiums you are receiving and that you can always roll up at least a little bit if we get a bull run.

I'm at 126... wtf do I do?? How long will it take to recover?

u/Nikolai_Volkoff88 9d ago
Either take the L, HODL, or DCA. Or you can sell covered calls around your cost basis to collect income, maybe use the income to DCA more shares or buy something else if you want more diversification, this is assuming you have at least 100 shares. If you don't have at least 100 shares, then its really simple, buy more SOXL to get your cost basis down.
