I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Selling Weekly Options for Income???

Just For Thinking ...

Majority of these options will expire worthless. Similarly, majority of  term, accident and travel insurances will expire worthless too.

So is selling weekly options for income is same as collecting insurance premiums as income by insurance companies e.g. on term, accident and travel insurance?

Insurance companies are working on a very large number of premiums collected to mitigate their risks and will be consistently profitable over long run due to the Law and Survival by Large Number.

Is selling options on weekly basis a fairly large number e.g. 52 per year or 520 per decade so that we can statistically mitigate risks and be consistently profitable over long run?

Is collecting betting from selling weekly option same as collecting premiums like insurance?

It is not wise to assume that weekly buyers of options are a bunch of foolish players coming into the market place to give you free lunches week after week.

  1. agreed, you cannot assume its sure income.

    however, those experience traders, like myself, are using the same idea, not necessary must through options, to make a living.

    sufficient capital and risk control is important.
