I want to share this options trading strategy with everyone, which can help you earn high interest on your funds and increase your yield! This strategy is selling put options! Below, I'll demonstrate it practically (I've demonstrated it in my previous articles). Using NVIDIA stock as an example, its put options are as follows: Looking from the top of the image, the white box shows the option expiration date—December 26. The blue box shows the strike price we're selling at $160, and the orange box shows NVIDIA's current stock price. The profit logic of selling options is similar to selling insurance—we earn the premium. Selling a put option at $160 means we're betting the stock won't fall to $160 within the next month. After selling, our account will receive the second price in the blue box: 1.54x100 = $154. Selling one contract earns us $154. This is my order screenshot for selling options. I sold on November 28, when the option price was $2.23. Each option represents 100 shares, so 2.23 x 100 = $223. I sold 5 contracts, totaling $1,115 (~¥7,000). When a stock is unlikely to fall, you're bullish on it but find the price too high to buy, afraid of missing out, and want to wait for a pullback—this options strategy works great. Buffett and Duan Yongping love using this to buy stocks they like at lower prices.

Study hard. - **元仔 · 2025-12-02T17:04:35.000Z**: Selling puts to acquire the underlying stock is suitable for those with larger capital, i.e., when there is a covered position, which is equivalent to renting out one's own stock to earn some premium. Many big players use this strategy, especially Mr. Duan.For big players, acquiring the underlying s - **sheriruth · 2025-12-02T16:39:56.000Z**: Why some show that the target does not support selling to open a position - **木木森森 · 2025-12-02T14:46:36.000Z**: Afraid of falling too much and jumping off a building - **卿风世无双 · 2025-12-02T14:06:18.000Z**: Bookmark for learning - **繁华落幕 · 2025-12-02T12:08:55.000Z**: You're absolutely right, they don't know how to do it, asking this and that, but never actually doing it - **打工为了加仓 · 2025-12-02T11:29:34.000Z**: One word: gamble.

As long as it doesn't fall below 160 by the exercise date at month-end, I can keep the premium?? Right?

In fact, I made a profit of $355 yesterday. - **赚总** (2025-12-02T11:09:10.000Z): It can't be considered a profit until the date arrives. If it falls to the strike price, one option contract would require taking 100 shares at 160.
