Why most people selling puts are working 10x harder for a fraction of the result.


Same underlying.
Completely different outcome.
1 month put on Q at $540 strike:
~$420 collected per contract.
Need 9 trades in a row just to match the alternative.
Cash secured = $54,000 sitting completely idle.
No EPS tailwind. Just 30 days and hope.
1 year put on Q at $525 strike:
~$3,800 collected. One trade. Right now.
Portfolio secured. $0 idle. Every dollar still working.
12 months of EPS growth working in your favor.
Take premium. Buy Q shares & LEAPS today.
Ratios in check to be fine in crashes/volatility.
If Q gets assigned at $525 in a year, that would be historically cheap.
That is not a bad outcome. That is the point.
You are fine either way — which is exactly how this should feel.
Portfolio secured put wins again.
