Cash secured put sellers, let me show you the trade you're actually making.


$NVDA got cheap. You sold a 2 month cash secured put. It expired worthless. You "won." Collected a few hundred bucks.
Then you did it again. & again. Grinding little premiums, cash parked the whole time.
Meanwhile the stock ran 55% in 7 months.
If you'd just BOUGHT THE SHARES you were pretending to want... you'd have smoked every one of those put trades combined.
That's the cash drag nobody calculates. Your "wins" cost you the actual move.
I sell portfolio secured puts instead. My money stays IN the market compounding while I collect the premium on top.
Bullish with a pile of dead cash isn't bullish.
