Correct. It wouldn’t work for my wife because of her medical conditions and meds. Prior to CrowdHealth, I was paying $900 per month for basic insurance through the market. I’d get a physical once a year and that would be the only time I used my insurance. I kept it as protection against a major injury. Now I have CrowdHealth for that.

@brumfie60075 @JoeYurillo @JoinCrowdHealth @Cryptoboyy_Aji Keep in mind that CrowdHealth ends eligibility I think at 64 and does not fund pre-existing conditions. It's not for everyone but if you have no pre existing or pricey meds that you can't pay cash for, then CrowdHealth can be amazing.

I pay $500 a month for health insurance. My deductible is $6,000. That means I pay $6,000 a year just to have insurance. Then $6,000 more before it actually kicks in. That’s $12,000 out of pocket before insurance saves me a single dollar. I am not insured. I am pre-bankrupted.

@brumfie60075 @JoinCrowdHealth @Cryptoboyy_Aji I retired at 48 and was paying out the wazoo for health insurance. I’m 55 now and joined CrowdHealth last year. I highly recommend checking it out.

@JoinCrowdHealth @Cryptoboyy_Aji How much for a 57 yo female and a 60 yo male? Thinking about retirement, and health insurance is a hindrance.

@ThomasGoldkamp Exactly, which is why I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Duke at home and Kentucky for Senior Day would be amazing!

@JoeYurillo That's my fear, because they played last year.

Duke is national championship level loaded. Florida is national championship level loaded. Gainesville. This year. Make it happen.

@UziOptions @TJTheWheelDeal Welcome back. I knew you were in trouble when your account sent me that phishing message. Poor Scott got hacked too. I hope to see him back.

@TJTheWheelDeal Thanks my Brother. Sucks having to rebuild, but #LFG! 💪

Let’s get some follows for my boy Uzi Options!! This is his new account

@ISITrading2717 The sizing of your trades and risk management are probably the two most important aspects of selling options. Even if you fail in other areas, if sizing is correct, you can recover and easily manage your losses. Sadly, most people are always looking to hit home runs.

This is the main reason I’ve considered deleting X is because it’s frustrating to see people spinning their wheels but also being misled. Selling options is freaking hard, but if risk is managed correctly it can be financially rewarding, you just have to be patient.

I’ve been vocal about my hate for "signal" Discords because they’re designed for you to fail. I’m ready to change the narrative. Thinking of starting a group that actually teaches the mechanics of selling premium and risk. Who wants to stop gambling? 🛑

@ISITrading2717 Did you go on a roadtrip to hit up an In and Out Burger? I’ve never been.

I’m not im Kansas anymore 🌵

@BOGBackup1 The more you watch hockey, the more you will enjoy it. Especially with a solid organization like the Bolts.

RESPECT MY DECISION #GoBolts

@MHMayhew @BOGBackup1 Great point, Michael! That was a nice touch, to sweeten the pot for them.

@JoeYurillo @BOGBackup1 Not only did they get silver, they got a nice little stuffed animal too! They should be a little more grateful, all things considered.

For the hockey folks on the TL, someone explain to me why 3-3 is the Olympic OT structure and if it hypothetically should’ve given the US or Canada the advantage on paper?

@MHMayhew @BOGBackup1 Getting the Silver is something to be proud of. I’m sure there are 10 other countries that wish they got a silver medal.

@JoeYurillo @BOGBackup1 Absolutely spot on analysis Joe. Not only that but apparently open nets are Canada’s kryponite as well. Not sure what else we could have done for MacKinnon to put us away. Anyways, congrats on silver Canada! Excellent work!

You guys deserve this!

@GmBBuzz @JFreshHockey Canada couldn't score when it was 5 on 3, so it makes sense they didn't have a chance 3 on 3.

god im gonna have to post the chance numbers and just hear COPE COPE COPE

@Old_Jeff_Landis Sorry for the late reply, Jeff. I typically roll it when the delta for the short leg drops under 10, and I can receive a minimum $0.50 credit for a $10 spread.

@JoeYurillo Excellent thanks. At what point do you roll the untested side of your IC’s? When the tested short is reached? Breached? Or before?

Here is where I stand with my open options for cash generation.

(Calculations based on 1/23 Market Close) For all these spreads, I place a GTC order to close after capturing 50-55% of the potential profits. If they don’t execute before 21 DTE, I will look to close or manage them for an additional week. Last week, I adjusted several trades by rolling the untested side to around a 15 delta. This captures an extra premium while reducing my maximum loss. As I update this, I realize I forgot to roll my $SHOP trade. All my February expiry trades will reach 21 days on Friday. This week will be critical for the trades that are currently underperforming. For most of them, I plan to close for a small profit or loss, while those that aren’t challenged will allow to run into next week. Cash-Secured Puts 🟢 1 $AMD 2/20 $200 23% OTM. 🟢 1 $ATI 2/20 $115 7% OTM. 🟢 1 $CIEN 2/20 $200 10% OTM. 🟢 1 $CLS 2/20 $250 18% OTM. 🟡 1 $TWLO 2/20 $125 3% OTM. (Calculations based on 1/23 Market Close) My $TWLO trade bounced off the 200-day moving average as I had hoped. It’s still the only trade that’s really close, but anything can happen. I will probably close my $AMD trade today since it has already captured 86% of the premium. I was planning to close it on Friday but decided to let it run a little longer to recover some of the losses I will likely incur on my iron condors. $CLS has earnings on Wednesday, so I will close that trade either today or tomorrow. Summary This will be a big week for me closing trades as they approach the 21-day sweet spot. As I start freeing the capital from these trades, I will look to place new trades for the March expiration.

Yes, I went a little heavier than normal this month. I want to keep it around $100k at risk, and I'm at $120k. I had some extra cash this month as I have been stacking wins, so I sold a couple extra trades. I'm still experimenting a little with some longer-dated trades, and those are showing early signs of success. The defined risk is a critical component.

@JoeYurillo Just now picking up how heavy you are with trading iron condors. Guess you've found some edge and like the defined risks they provide?

#GoGators 🐊

@ISITrading2717 I KNOW I am. A few more years until I move back.

Think I’m moving 🤣

@Cnoifa66 The $SPX Trades are designed as set it and forget it since they close via cash settlement. I tweaked my May trade to make it a slightly lower delta.

@JoeYurillo Clean structure. Nice laddering across expirations gives you flexibility if volatility shifts. How are you thinking about adjustment if SPX tests those lower ranges?

Here is where I stand with my open options for cash generation. Put Credit Spreads 🟢 1 $SPX 2/20 P $6575/$6625 5% OTM. 🟢 1 $SPX 3/20 P $6580/$6630 4% OTM. 🟡 1 $SPX 4/17 P $6725/$6775 2% OTM. 🟡 1 $SPX 5/15 P $6800/$6850 1% OTM. (Calculations based on 1/16 Market Close) My first of these trades expired for maximum profit this past weekend. I placed a new trade for May.

(Calculations based on 1/16 Market Close) For all these spreads, I place a GTC order to close after capturing 50-55% of the potential profits. If they don’t execute before 21 DTE, I will look to close or manage them for an additional week. Three of these are being heavily tested on one side. I’ve moved the untested side closer to the money to help generate additional premium while reducing my maximum loss. I also moved in a few of the others that had gone far out of the money. Cash-Secured Puts 🟢 1 $AMD 2/20 $200 14% OTM. 🟢 1 $ATI 2/20 $115 8% OTM. 🟢 1 $CIEN 2/20 $200 18% OTM. 🟢 1 $CLS 2/20 $250 20% OTM. 🔴 1 $TWLO 2/20 $125 5% ITM. (Calculations based on 1/16 Market Close) I closed my $ALAB and $NBIS trades, both for a profit. Although it took 115 days, I made $291 on my $ALAB trade. When I sold the first put, the stock price was $242.91, and I sold a $220 put. During that time, I was able to roll my put from $220 down to $170, earning a profit each step of the way. The final strike was $170, and I closed the trade when the stock price was in the mid-$170s. Had I purchased the stock on Day 1, I would have lost close to $7,000, so I am quite pleased with my $291 win. With the capital freed up from closing those trades, I placed new trades on $ATI and $B. Currently, my $TWLO trade is the only one at risk, so I might roll it out a month. It’s just above the 200-day moving average, and I will close it at a loss instead of rolling if it drops below that. Summary I’m not planning to make any new trades right now. My current total Theta is about $883, so I’ll wait and see how that progresses. I might also keep adjusting some of my ICs to try to gain more profit.
