Selling Weekly Put Options Our Weekly Paycheck strategy involves selling weekly put options Selling weekly options can provide investors like you with a great opportunity to generate consistent income from a portfolio with less risk to their capital Weekly options because they can help you efficiently take advantage of short-term trends or market events that lead to a very short, but quick cash pay-off a few days
Weekly Paycheck Selling Put Options EXAMPLE: SELL 1 XYZ this week s 60 put and maintain $6,000 of capital MAXIMUM GAIN: Premium received MAXIMUM LOSS: Strike price - premium received
Selling Put Strategies Generate and collect cash from time decay Purchase a stock at a discounted price
Advantages of Selling Weekly Put Options Since you are here viewing this training program, you have made the decision to at least consider weekly options as part of your selling options for income strategy. That s good, because selling weekly options is another useful tool to have in your income generating strategy. Let me show you the advantages of selling weekly options
Cash From Puts Vs Dividends
Collect Cash From Option Time Decay Time decay on a weekly option is ferocious as expiration approaches Time decay is option buyer s enemy Time decay is the option seller s friend
A Favorable Risk-Reward Ratio The risk reward ratio in selling weekly options is by far the best in the market. This means you have the best chance of generating the most amount of cash in the shortest period of time one week to one or two days
Acquire Stock At A Discount They can work in any market even markets where others are seeing their capital take a hit. There are enough names enough choices you can sell puts in any market to generate cash and income and have extremely low risk to your capital
Easier To Manage When you sell a weekly option, you target price to buy them back is zero you do no plan on buying them back Only a few days to monitor before they expire worthless
Usually Lower Commissions Usually Lower Maintenance and Lower Costs (The goal of the weekly is to expire worthless on Friday which doesn t require a second trade (effort or trading cost)
The Odds Are in the Option Seller s Favor The call option buyer is making a bet Stock will rise above their strike before or at expiration The option seller is taking that bet The stock will remain at or below the strike price by expiration As the put option seller (the house), you can still collect cash as long as the stock price stays above the strike we ll show you how to manage this position to profit
Weekly Options A weekly option is similar to a regular option contract (monthly) other than it only lasts 6 trading days Monthly option contracts can last months or even years and the always expire after the third week of every month Weekly options (puts and/or calls) are listed usually on Thursdays and expire the following Friday Before weekly options were introduced, you only had 12 monthly option expiration dates and now you have 52 expiration dates with weekly options
More Trading Opportunities Only 20 trade opportunities with monthly option At least 80 and possibly 100 with weeklies Better odds of finding the right trade
Weekly Options Have Exploded Over 450 individual stocks and ETFs have weekly options listed Some only have them during earnings or known news events Now account for over 35% of all daily trading volume in equity options Flexibility and allow us to maximize the benefits of the acceleration of time decay
Weekly Put Option Universe Start with the universe of option contracts that are available on most of the widely traded stocks on the US exchanges
Naked Puts? Short Puts? You will hear the terms short puts, cash-secured puts and naked puts That said, this training program is all about selling CASH-SECURED PUTS A cash secured put option reduces risk because you have enough cash in case you are assigned the stock
Cash Secured Puts The term cash in cash secured puts means must have collateral cash to purchase shares if they are assigned (or put) to you You are not buying an option and you are not spending capital, but you have to have or leave enough capital it in your account to support the position
Capital On Hand To Support The Trade SELL a weekly put on General Motors (GM) for November Week Four 35 strike for $0.41 You will need to have $3,500 (less $41 in trading costs) in your trading account for every contract you sell Why?
Assignment - Being Assigned Because in selling an option contract, the buyer of your option has the right to assign the stock to you the seller if and when the stock price is falls below the strike price The buyer of that option doesn t have to assign, but he has the right to assign or put the stock to you
If The Underlying Moves Against You In our example, if you sell that GM November, Week Four 35 Strike on Monday and the price of GM stock declines below $35 to $34.50 or lower by Friday, you could be assigned the GM stock at $35 per share or $3,500 for one option contract sold
Cash Supporting A Position For the purpose of this training program, we will focus on maintaining cash in your account to support the sale of a put Your cash or margin is sitting in your account supporting a put position. This is very different from owning shares

Managing Your Weekly Put Position The stock market is unpredictable and full of surprises Don t sell a weekly put option and totally forget about it Monitor your trade position
You Can Set Trade Alerts Most online brokers offer an alert system Alerts can be sent via email, text, or to your smart phone or tablet Set the alert up when you execute your trade Trigger when stock price is within 2% - 4% of being in the money
Underlying Moves Against You Price of underlying sells off below your strike Decision Time
You Will Be Assigned Buyer decides to exercise their option to sell stock to you you must buy
Close Your Put Position Early 1. Close with a small profit 2. Close at breakeven 3. Close with a small loss
Roll And Recovery Avoid taking a loss on the trade position Increase cash and profit potential Avoid being assigned the stock
Rolling a Put Option is One Transaction 1. BUY back your put position 2. SELL a new put position
Roll to New Expiration Same number of contracts Same strike New expiration date
One Transaction With Your Broker Can select Roll transaction with most online brokers Still have two transaction costs of buying and selling Can fill with a credit limit order
Weekly Put Option Roll Trade Example Opening Trade: April 8 First Solar (FSLR) SELL FSLR April (4/8) 61 Put Received $0.80 per share or $80 per contract
FSLR Stock Sells Off Below $61
Roll Forward Instructions Buy-to-Close FSLR April (4/8) 61 Put strike Cost: $0.85 or $85 per contract Sell-to-Open FSLR April (4/15) 61 Put Strike Collect: $1.10 or $110 in cash
Net Credit From Roll Trade Original Weekly Put: + $.80 Less Buying Back Put: -$.85 Sale of New Weekly Put: +$1.10 NET CREDIT (in order) +$.25
Rolling Works Rolling extends time value to let underlying work for you Provides flexibility to avoid assignment Opportunity to generate additional income Chance to roll down to lower strike
Adding Cash Roll out and collect more cash but you will need to support with your capital Time frames are considered when we make a decision Tying up capital vs. redeploying capital to a new position
