CRWD
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. Class A Common Stock
stock NASDAQ

CRWD, HOOD and APP are the next Amazon.

I do this selectively, buy CRWD was worth a $130 a share profit in a matter of a few months. During the 1st Trump administration, I made a lot of $$ for a while buying the companies he trashed. They would drop 10-15-20% and within 3-4 weeks would be back to their old levels. It worked for about a year until the market stopped reacting to his rants about corporations.

I will post a separate comment with a link to the detail behind each option sold this week.
After week 50 the average premium per week is $1,333 with an annual projection of $69,363.
All things considered, the portfolio is up $121,607 (+36.82%) on the year and up $110,599 (+33.16%) over the last 365 days. This is the overall profit and loss and includes options and all other account activity.
All options sold are backed by cash, shares, or LEAPS. I do not sell on margin, nor do I sell naked options.
All options and profits stay in the account with few exceptions. This is not my full time job, although I wish it was. I still grind on a 9-5.
I contributed $600 32 weeks in a row. I have stopped the contributions until January 2026. I have some unexpected expenses to address and then it’s back to business.
The portfolio is comprised of 99 unique tickers, down from 100 last week. These 99 tickers have a value of $434k. I also have 210 open option positions, up from 209 last week. The options have a total value of $9k. The total of the shares and options is $443k. The next goal on the “Road to” is Half a Million.
I’m currently utilizing $37,500 in cash secured put collateral, down from $43,150 last week.
2025 through 2028 LEAPS
In addition to the CSPs and covered calls, I purchase LEAPS. These act as collateral to sell covered calls against. You may have heard of poor man’s covered calls (PMCC). The LEAPS are down -$4,712 this week and are up +$199,038 overall.
See r/ExpiredOptions for a detailed spreadsheet update on all LEAPS positions including P/L for each individual position.
LEAPS note 1: the 2025 LEAPS expired 1/17/25. They were up $36,440 overall with a 233.74% increase. The major drivers were AMZN and CRWD.
LEAPS note 2: After holding for 2 years, I exercised an AMZN $80 strike from 2023 up +$11,395 (+463.21%) and CRWD $95 strike from 2023, up +$21,830 (+663.53%)
LEAPS note 3: Purchased 1/16/26 CRWD LEAPS for $8,230.03 on 1/17/24. I sold this LEAPS on 6/5/25 for $21,659 for a realized profit of $13,428.97 (+163.18%)
Last year I sold 1,459 options and 1,704 YTD in 2025.

2025 up $121,607 (+36.82%) YTD
I am over $150k in total options premium, since 2021. I average $29.88 per option sold. I have sold over 5,000 options. I have been able to increase the premiums on an annual basis and I will attempt to keep this upward trend going forward.
Strategy:
The underlying strategy is buy and hold. I also use simple 1-legged options to supplement that strategy. Options have somewhat of a learning curve, but I believe that most people can supplement their investments using simple options with careful risk management.
I sell options on a weekly basis. I prefer cash secured puts and covered calls. Sometimes I’m ahead of the indexes and sometimes I’m behind. My goal is consistency in option premium revenue. I am building an income stream that will continue long into retirement.
Spreadsheets:
Unfortunately, I no longer provide spreadsheets. I received too many follow ups about formatting, pivot tables, compatibility etc.I think tracking is very important, but I post to discuss investing and options, not provide tech support for Excel. I appreciate the interest in my tracking methods, though.
Commissions:
I use Robinhood as a broker and they do not charge commissions. There is a an industry standard regulation fee of about $0.03 per contract. Last year I sold just over 1,400 contracts which is just over $40.00 in fees paid in 2024. In 2025, the contract fee is $0.04, which would push the fees up to around $60 based on current projections. Update (12/5/25), I have noticed that the fee has been reduced to $0.02 per contract.
The premiums have increased significantly as my experience has expanded over the last three years.
Make sure to post your wins. I look forward to reading about them!
