Daily Trade Recap: May 12, 2025
Welcome back to your daily options income recap, where we share real trades from both our $5K and $100K model portfolios. These trades are designed to generate consistent cash flow through premium selling—not to acquire shares. If price moves against us, we roll the trade to extend the expiry and manage risk.
$100K Account Activity
🆕 Sold: $MSTX May 16 $45 Put
- Premium Collected: $265
- Comment: Short-dated premium opportunity to boost weekly income. We’ll look to roll if price nears the strike.
🆕 Sold: $MU May 16 $95 Call (Covered Call)
- Premium Collected: $160
- Comment: Enhancing yield on existing shares. A capped-upside, low-risk strategy to collect short-term income.
🆕 Sold: $CRWV May 23 $60 Put
- Premium Collected: $670
- Comment: High-credit put sale designed for income. Not intended to acquire shares—will roll if price drops near strike.
$5K Account Activity
🆕 Sold: $QBTS Jun 20 $10 Put
- Premium Collected: $118
- Comment: Excellent premium relative to capital for a smaller account. Rolling will be considered if price moves against us.
Strategy Insights
- No Intent to Own Shares: These put sales are for premium collection only. If the stock nears the strike, we roll—not buy.
- Short-Term Focus: Targeting high-ROI setups over 1–3 weeks. Fast compounding, reduced capital tie-up.
- Disciplined Adjustments: Every trade has a rolling strategy in place to mitigate risk and preserve profits.
Final Thoughts
May 12th’s activity continues our mission to generate steady cash flow through options, not stock ownership. Both small and large portfolios follow the same disciplined, income-first model.
Smart, consistent trades. Premiums in, positions managed.
