COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this CSP on > SMCX
This trade begins as a (25) day trade where I'm trying to capture anywhere from 1.2% - 1.3% for a weekly Cash Secured Put and 3% or more for a monthly expiration. This trade will make $1600 which is 10% on money invested
Further commentary as to why I opened this trade >
SMCX (2x Leveraged ETF to Super Micro ) > This was my write up for MY SMCX trade ... I just do not think without a major market sell off would this fall at the bottom of the keltner channel so we go for it and will do an income boost on top > Super Micro Computer (SMCI) stock is under pressure after the chipmaker released preliminary first quarter net sales of $5 billion, falling short of analyst estimates of $6.5 billion. Yahoo Finance - so I could see this falling even more ... likely this news will be absorded and over the next 2 weeks it will fall ... but to fall to $32? I cant beleive that ... so we do this conservative (5) contract trade for now
This trade was placed for one of my kids account
N - This would be a trade in my Sons account
> as with every trade, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself.

DID I BUY A DIVIDEND FUND WHILE WAITING?
While I hold this cash-secured put (2 or more weeks) , I am going to take the premium and put it to work by buying a dividend-paying fund for the timeframe. Figuring I'll buy this option back for $0.10 or less, I'll take the entire premium (minus that $0.10) and buy a fund — making additional income and using my cash flow as efficiently as possible.
Dividend Paying StockSYMDateSharesTotal Cost
Defiance Leveraged Long Income SMCI ETFSMCCOct-2765$1,415.00
While Im holding this Cash Secured Put premium until this trade ends I will use this premium less 0.10 cents to purchase this dividend paying fund to collect extra cash flow while waiting , I will then SELL the dividend paying fund and tally up all the gains/losses at the end of this CSP trade > for this fund purchase I used equal amounts of premuiem to purchase -> SMCC-> this many shares -> 65 -> using this much money -> 1415
