No one knows where housing is going to be either, or how much M2 money supply is going to increase and devalue the dollar. Gotta put the money somewhere, keep it in cash and your guaranteed a loss in buying power.

There are definitely trade offs that could generate more return. I have a pmcc portfolio, I’m engaged with it everyday and it does fine. I want less volatility in this and don’t want much uncertainty that has to be actively managed.

Thanks, my top consideration for adjustments right now is that I am too heavy on IBIT (especially bc of the MSTR position) and SMCI. I think I'm going to reduce position 1 down to 1k ibit and 800 SMCI in position 2.

I do have a shorter duration cc strategy in a different account and to be honest, I don't want that kind of activity and income volatility out of this. I want it as passive and income reliable as possible. Essentially, a high yielding 1 year CD with a balance of upside and downside to the NAV.

I like it, thanks for sharing. Doesn't having the strike low increase the odds of the shares being called near the end when dividend snipers come looking? Can't say I've done all the math, but I've avoided writing near the money calls in the past on dividend stocks because of this.

Thanks for the feedback, here's why I'm comfortable with the position:

I own enough outside of this account that if it skyrockets I will not be mourning the loss of opportunity past the 50% upside I sold off.

As for going to 100, that would mean BOTH 1) the market forces MSTR into a 1x mnav. Below 1 mnav is not a concern of mine, I'll be buying much more if the market is giving a discount to their btc holdings and 2) bitcoin would have to have a significant correction (51k based on today's metrics). It could happen, but the tradeoff seems balanced and tolerable given it's only about 10% of the $250,000 (after deducting the premium I get right away).

I'm open to criticism if you think my logic is flawed.

Yeah I have an active account writing cc's, that's not where this money is headed.

I need the income coming in and shorter duration calls mean too many opportunities for a losing position or bag holding situation where I can't write because the strike would have to be too low. This is my attempt at a sort of a middle ground between real estate and cd's. Bump up the risk, then diversify and grab return right away to mitigate it.

Selling off the super big upside on positions 1,2, 3 and 5 in return for the guaranteed income. Position 4 is a more modest upside but lowers my risk because amazon is not as volatile. Position 6 is active to try and squeeze out some higher returns.

To be honest, position 6 is the one I'm questioning because it has the potential to be dead money if SMCI drops down significantly. Then I won't be able to extract the $24,000/yr I need without selling off shares (since starting cash in the account is only $14,000) or writing Position 6 at strikes below my cost basis.

Strategy Review - $250,000 to be invested

I am liquidating an investment property because it no longer performs well for income and I am too over weighted in real estate. The goal is to preserve NAV with some upside and continue to receive income. I will withdrawn $2,000 every month from this account. I'll net $250,000 after taxes and fees from the sale of the rental. The account has at least a 5 year timeline.

Some of these share prices are lower now, I didn't update all of the share prices with the end of week sell off but the strategy ultimately remains the same and I won't have the money for about 30-60 days so some of this will adjust anyway

So, let's do this - go ahead and tell me where I'm messing up.

$250,000 to invest and generate income

CD = 50k 4% for 5 years = 60k (+) at maturity

  

SET AND FORGET POSITIONS:

Position 1: 1300 shares of ibit 48/share=$66,000

Sell 13 contracts 3/20/2026 70 strike = $7,800

Position 2: 1000 shares of smci 42/share = $42,000

Sell 10 contracts 3/20/2026 65 strike = $8000

 

Position 3: 300 shares of ELF 65/share = $19,500

Sell 3 contracts 3/20/2026 80 strike = $4,200

 

Position 4: 200 shares of AMZN 198/share = $39,600

Sell 2 contract 3/20/2026 225 strike = $3600

 

Position 5: 100 shares of MSTR 290/share = $29,000

Sell 1 contract 3/20/2026 440 Strike = $6,000

 

Cash in account after these 5 positions and cc income=33,500

 

MANAGED POSITION:

Position 6: 500 shares smci = $21,000

Sell 5 contracts 45 dte 48 strike (14% upside)=$1500 

If stock goes up then roll this every 2 weeks, for about $500 ev 2 weeks, try to go up $1/strike with each roll. If stock price goes down, let it go for the 45 days.

The goal being to always have premium collected for the year + upside =$4,000 or more. 

 

Final Cash in account=14,000 - this will then have 2k/month come out, and pos 6 income added. If position 6 gets called then I can decide if I want to reenter the position or sit on the extra cash.

 

Final data:

Annual return estimates:

Guaranteed income: Set it and forget it income + 1st premium from pos 6 = 31,100

Real guaranteed return: Set it and forget it income + 1St premium from pos 6 + CD income = 33,100

Best case scenario: Set it and forget it income + 8 premiums/constant rolls from pos 6 + CD income = 43,600

 

 

NAV after all positions, not counting CD:

Stocks worth $217,100 + Cash in account of $14,000 = $231,100

 

NAV assuming same share price after 1 year (and only 1 round of income from pos 6) and after taking 24,000 in disbursments = $231,100 – 24,000=207,100

NAV as above + CD value = $259,100

Why is strk price keep going up from $80?
 in  r/MSTR  Feb 15 '25

And if mstr doesn’t go up, the dividend will help it hold value. If rates go down, strk could actually go up even if mstr goes down.

The convert option MSTR has when less than 25% remains is just administrative. I'll explain; When 75% of the shares are converted by STRK holders, then it means all STRK holders should have converted but some investors don't look at their investments very often. There are some people who could own STRK for years after they should've converted. This feature is simply so MSTR can force a conversion on those investors and close out the offering. Less than 25% doesn't mean actually 25%. In an event with majority converting, most likely it would be 1-3% of holders that didn't convert.

Personally, I don't think this will happen. I doubt we will ever see mass conversions. The 10:1 conversion feature is actually an unlimited call option. And just like an option contract, if the underlying security goes up in value, so will STRK. Meaning, if MSTR goes to 1,000 then STRK will likely be well over 100. And you wouldn't convert since STRK is worth more than 1/10th of MSTR. There is value in holding a perpetual 10:1 call option, that value would be premium in an option. It will be an increase to share price on this preferred. Example: A 3:1 call option contract that expires and becomes worthless in 5 months, costs about $6 per share today. I have no idea what a 10:1 option that lasts forever is worth, but I promise you if MSTR goes up then the 3:1 5 month contract will go up. And since the value of converting goes up when share price rises, then STRK will go up as well.

The conversion is available if less than 25% of the offering is left (if more than 75% of strk has has been called by holders then mstr can call the rest to close out the offering) or if some special tax law change provides an advantage.

You phrased it in your original post as if they can and will call them simply because the price of mstr is over $1,000. That's not accurate. What's more is that MSTR has significantly less motivation to call them if MSTR is over $1,000. The dividend become peanuts when the stock price goes up that much.

I've read those, I don't see where it says MSTR has a call option on STRK. Do you?

2+4 is 6 (first digit), 7 and 8 are going to give me an extra 1 to carry over so 7 is the first and the 5 that's left from 7+8=15 after I carried that 1 is the second digit. 75
