Great lesson for everyone on the option wheel strategy.

The options wheel strategy is an income producing strategy involving selling put options, potentially owning stock, and selling covered calls until the shares are called away or the position is closed. The wheel is an increasingly popular strategy for investors that want to generate income before and possibly during stock ownership.

The wheel's primary objective is not to own stock. The strategy's goal is to consistently take in credit via selling short put options. However, selling short put options prior to owning stock reduces the position’s cost basis throughout its duration.

The wheel strategy can be thought of as an active approach to passive investing that allows investors to generate consistent income. It is perfect for stock investors looking for a simple transition to options trading.

The options wheel strategy consists of two main components as shown in attached. @Tiger_comments @MillionaireTiger @CaptainTiger

      The options wheel strategy is an income-producing strategy that involves selling put options, potentially owning stock, and selling covered calls until the shares are called away or the position is closed. It is a popular strategy for investors who want to generate income before and possibly during stock ownership.

      The primary objective of the options wheel strategy is not to own stock but to consistently generate income by selling short put options. By selling short put options before owning stock, the strategy reduces the position's cost basis throughout its duration.

      The options wheel strategy can be seen as an active approach to passive investing, allowing investors to generate consistent income. It is particularly suitable for stock investors who are looking for a simple transition to options trading.

      The options wheel strategy consists of two main components:

      Selling Put Options: The strategy begins by selling put options on a stock that the investor is willing to own. By selling put options, the investor collects a premium and potentially acquires the stock at a lower price if the options are exercised.  

      Selling Covered Calls: If the investor is assigned the stock through the put options, they can then sell covered calls on the stock. This involves selling call options on the stock that they already own. By selling covered calls, the investor collects additional premium income.  

      It's important to note that options trading involves risks, and the options wheel strategy is no exception. Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and conduct thorough analysis before implementing this strategy.

      Please note that the attached image is for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact details of the options wheel strategy. It is always recommended to consult with a financial advisor or conduct further research before implementing any investment strategy.
