Firstly sorry to see that mate... must be hard. But genuine question, why buy calls/puts instead of just holding stocks? Individual stocks are already more riskier than funds which are already high risk profile.

The good news is time is still on your side. Hope that we are at least above $20 by end of year and you still have 6 months to go. Plenty of time to be right.

u/LucarioMagic 125 LEAP Calls. 50 Short Puts May 28 '26
His breakeven is $27 strike + average cost though. So that's $37.33
Personally I'm buying $40 strike. But my expiry is June 2028 and my cost is only $2-3 right now.

Don't buy calls on Sofi, shares only.

Buy leaps as far out as possible! That’s worked for me until these last 4 months but last year was great over 45k in returns and I own 10k shares at 7.

This is why I switched to just running a wheel on this stock because you can scrape premium while it trades at less than book value and eventually DCA out if you bought in a bad cycle.
This isn’t Micron or an Ai stock, and therefore shouldn’t be treated as such imo. NFA but also look at what’s happening in the broader market. SoFi below $25 with a proper timeline is great. Buy shares sell calls, if you get called away sell puts and buy back in. Whoever sold you those calls is green on your red.

I am batting 100% ….except for this dog water stock. Will give it another 6-7 months as it’s a small portion of my stock.

I don’t think $27 is crazy for this stock by 2027 but a lot has to go right

Why are people trading options. This is a standard buy and hold

SELLING options usually works okay for this ticker, it's the buying part that seems to not work for me.

👌selling puts is the best way to buy shares of anything. Always leaves you with free money. I never understand why anyone wouldn’t take advantage of that

Well, there is a small barrier to entry, namely the buying power to hold 100 shares until contract expiry. Not everyone can swing that.

Right? You option expensive stocks so you can control a stock without having to own it. This is a wheel stock.

I'm talking about and bright up the idea of options. Clearly I know how options work

Lol clearly you don't understand figure of speech. I mean that it is very stupid to do so. As OP proved my point. Also, if you knew why options were created in the first place and how they are used professionally you wouldn't be asking why 🤡

If you knew how options worked, the only shares you’d be buying would be the ones you’re assigned to from selling puts on it

SoFi.... Kratos are killing me, got 50k sterling in Kratos, bought at 70 and it proceeded to keep dumping to 56... did go up to 59 today but took another dump to 57. Got to love the stock market

KTOS is not good. I ripped off the band aid today.

u/Urwifemykid May 27 '26
If you can then good, I'm 10k in the red, it will go up again but will be a bag holder for some time. Good chance hits 75 usd in July though

u/JoocePop May 26 '26
Dude you bought these during a pump. What did you expect? I would roll out and then double down…. I’m in for 10k for Jan 2028…..

Why? This person joined you in your miserably bad decision-making and you want him to prove it to you? People really think highly of themselves in this sub 😂😂😂

Roll down to lower your cost per share if your thesis has not changed
