Good morning Stackers I have a new idea:
A few weeks back a guy was telling me how he sells cash covered puts to generate income. In the event he is assigned the shares (due to the Put being in the money) he takes the assignment makes the purchase of 100 shares.

So I been thinking let’s try this out with Fold stock?

Why you might ask?

I am a long term investor in so I see it as a win win. If the price goes down and I buy the shares at a higher price so be it I don’t mind adding shares to my position. But if the stock goes up or stays sideways then keep the premium for selling the option.

So today I entered my first position:

This Put option expires on 9/19.

If I make profit I will spilt the gain with the stackers 50%

25% into the rewards pool and 25% to the comment that gets the most sats on this post

If I get assigned the shares then 50% of the shares will be owned by the stackers! Once these shares are liquidated or start earning a dividend then I will keep the same payout structure mentioned above!
If Fold goes bust well it was fun doing this and learning about options, puts, and how to use them to build a position in a stock you plan on holding for a few decades.

Have you considered using other less scammy platforms than Robinhood?
This is neat though!

Robinhood a couple of years ago might have had its issues but now its a powerhouse. Everyone points out stuff that went on during the GameStock meme days but since then.... there hasnt been anything and people have made some wild money with Robinhood's IPO allocation system.

I'm sure you can still do legit stuff with them, I just don't like supporting them based on their past (known) actions.

Yeah I was on this energy too. I deleted the app and moved on but then nothing I used was as intuitive as Robinhood plus I needed a brokerage account to run my experiments. So I caved and started using them again.
Then I got a few shares in the company and that ended up being a great investment!

I use Fidelity and WeBull. Fidelity app is terrible and WeBull is meh.
Robinhood may be scammy but the UI/UX is so intuitive.

I agree with all of this. They have great UX for sure

Plus you can dump your stocks and buy spot Bitcoin and withdraw all in the same app! Can’t do that with fidelity or webull
