Retail investor: I sell cash secured puts. It's the safe, responsible way to do options.


Me: How much cash you got tied up backing them?
Retail investor: Right now? About $50k just sitting as collateral.
Me: So $50k earning basically nothing, sitting out the entire market, just "in case" you get assigned?
Retail investor: Well... it has to be there to secure the put.
Me: That's the cash drag. & it quietly eats your returns. That $50k could've been compounding 10% this whole time in your base portfolio.
Retail investor: Wait, I can secure puts WITHOUT parking all that cash?
Me: That's the whole point of portfolio secured puts. My $VOO & $Q back the trade & keep compounding while I collect the same premium on top.
Don't let a giant pile of cash rot just to back your puts...
"Safe" cash that earns nothing is a hidden tax on your returns.
Secure your puts with your portfolio & make that money work twice.
