I think of selling puts in my IRA an entirely different way.

For me I use it as a way to a) get a premium and b) lock-up my cash so I can't get stupid with it elsewhere. I do this if I'm neutral-to-moderately bullish about a position. I'd rather not get executed, in fact, on that last day, I always buy it back. If at some point before expiration, my option is only worth pennies because the stock climbed, I buy it back and either get in something different or roll it forward a week.
Which brokerage group do you use that lets you sell puts for your IRA?
I've got IRAs in Fidelity and Schwab and both allow it. I can't imagine there's a major brokerage that doesn't.

You just have to apply for options trading at the appropriate level (with Fidelity it's their Level 2), and you just have to have the cash on hand to cover. Then they lock up that cash so you can't trade with it until you buy back the put or it expires (or they then use that cash to buy the equity if it executes).

Hold/clear the $7ish mark and $7.60 may be next decent resistance.

Buying back WWR covered calls here? down to .25 from .50 initial value for me
Which dates & strikes do you have?
2/19 $12.5s
I left all my $12.50s. Decay will get those unless a big move here and just capture 100% of premium. If I got called away for $12.50+ premium then I will be ok with that batch.
Same logic here. Fairly unlikely you'll be able to sell at that strike for that premium again (I hope I'm wrong). You could MAYBE grind out another nickel or dime, but I'm not trying it.
Shoulda done it....WWR back at $7

Thanks. I'm going to set up a new SEP account in the next few weeks and wanted to make sure I could do this with Fidelity. Looking to transition some of my other SEP accounts as well so really appreciate the feedback.

I took my profits on WWR today and ran. Was a good moment even though I know I left money on table. I'm a newbie so even small wins are great.

Kinda hoping it drops back into the $5s again so I can rinse abs repeat.

If not I guess I will look for the next play that seems as good.

What price does CIDM need to hit to have options?
No vouching for the veracity of this website, but here's one explanation:

Quote:
Q: Why do some stocks have options for trading while others don't?
A: To have options on their stock traded on options exchanges, companies must meet the following criterias.
[ol]
  • The company must have a mimimum of 7,000,000 publicly held shares outstanding.
  • The stock must be listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX or any national stock exchange..
  • For the past 5 trading days, the closing price of the stock must have a minimum per share price for a majority of trading days. This means that IPO issues cannot have options traded on them until 5 days after the initial public offering date.
  • There must be at least 2,000 shareholders in the company.
    • [/ol]Option exchanges will not allow any option to be traded for a particular stock if the company fail to meet any of the above criteria.
    https://www.theoptionsguide.com/criterias-to-list-stock-options.aspx

    Long story short, what I've always heard is that you need an exchange and a market maker who feels listing options on a stock is worthwhile.

    Just closed a gap at 1.66 and this is also an area of previous resistance and support. Might cool off here, MIGHT

    Nice, sold mine at 7.385, so pretty solid. That made me a pretty penny on the first run this week. If it makes it to 10$ by March....I'll accept being called out on 80% haha

    I just sold the Feb 12.50s for $0.50. I'll take $13 in 20 days if they want to.
