Retail investor: I sell cash secured puts. The safe way to do options.


Me: How much cash you got parked backing them?
Retail investor: About $80k right now.
Me: & what's that $80k earning while it sits there?
Retail investor: ...nothing really. It's collateral.
Me: So you're BULLISH enough to sell puts... while $80k sits out of the market you're bullish on. You see it yet?
Retail investor: Huh. I'm bullish with most of my money benched.
Me: That's the cash drag. My collateral is my $VOO & $Q & elite single companies... That will grow in the long term WHILE it secures the puts at the same time. Same premium as you. My money just never stops working.
