QNX and Certicom have been working on it since 2015 and true winner as it is embedded from the start and not added as afterthought. CRWD Paulo alto are all afterthought solutions.

Hey Rohacyn1. You are correct. This year has not been as efficient as prior annual results. There are two main reasons; I have an overweight position in HOOD and I had a CRWD CC blow past the strike, this drag’s performance. Despite the rough start, I am optimistic and looking forward to the full year results.

Couldn't agree more. I've been very happy between PANW and CRWD. If we see a good pullback here, I'm throwing a LOT at CRWD.

I will post a separate comment with a link to the detail behind each option sold this week.

After week 29, the average premium per week is $908 with an annual projection of $47,191.

All things considered, the portfolio is up $1,626 (+0.36%), on the year (S&P 500: +8.94% | Nasdaq: +9.80%). Additionally, the trailing 1-year performance is up $7,877 (+1.78%); for comparison the S&P 500 is +18.43% and the Nasdaq is +22.19% over the same period. This is the overall profit and loss and includes options and all other account activity.

**Annual results:**
• 2023 up $65,403 (+41.31%) | S&P 500: +26.3% | Nasdaq: +43.4%
• 2024 up $64,610 (+29.71%) | S&P 500: +25.0% | Nasdaq: +28.6%
• 2025 up $111,496 (+34.52%) | S&P 500: +17.9% | Nasdaq: +20.4%

3-Year Cumulative (2023–2025):
• r/ExpiredOptions: +146.6% ($241,509)
• S&P 500: +86.1% (+60.4% behind)
• Nasdaq: +122.0% (+24.5% behind)

**Options:**
• YTD: $9,639.83
• 1 Month: $-14,459.50
• 1 Week: $-8,418.82

**Realized P&L:**
• YTD: $42,774.84
• 1 Month: $22,733.01
• 1 Week: $475.00

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.

My $600 weekly contribution streak is at 18 weeks, but I am pausing new contributions until next month.

The portfolio is comprised of 103 unique tickers, up from 101 last week. These 103 tickers have a value of $452k. I also have 196 open option positions, unchanged from 196 last week. The options have a total value of $20k. The total of the shares and options is $472k. The next goal on the "Road to" is Half a Million.

I'm currently utilizing $35,600 in cash secured put collateral, down from $36,650 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).

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%)

**Total premium by year:**
• 2023 $23,132 in premium
• 2024 $47,640 in premium
• 2025 $68,319 in premium
• 2026 $26,405 YTD
• Average $46,364/year (completed years)

**Premium by month (2026):**
• January $3,334
• February $3,625
• March $4,196
• April $5,593
• May $3,787
• June $3,497
• July $2,407
• Average $3,777/month

I am over $166k in total options premium, since 2021. I average roughly $34 per option sold. I have sold over 4,800 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. I rarely close early, prefer rolling when needed, and let time decay do the heavy lifting while I stay focused on quality companies, patience, and consistency over hype. 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 to provide tech support for Excel. I do appreciate the interest in my tracking methods.

**Software:**
I captured the screen shots from a proprietary software platform I built to track, analyze, and manage my options strategies.

**Commissions:**
I use Robinhood as a broker and they do not charge explicit commissions, though there is no free lunch — they earn revenue through Payment for Order Flow (PFOF), which can mean slightly less optimal fills. For my style of selling options and not chasing prices, the tradeoff is acceptable. There is also a small regulatory fee of approximately $0.03–$0.04 per contract (FINRA TAF, OCC clearing, and exchange fees combined).

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!

🤡 yeah I kept risk pretty small up until the last two days...-$700 yesterday, swung META calls ovn and opened up another like -$1000,
Got myself down to $500, then aped into CRWD got back to $1200. Took LLY 1185c, missed the exit, and that was it.

FTNT doesn't even compete against CRWD first of all. They are in completely different segments of the market.
Their basically only relevant category is firewalls. Their firewalls are probably second best and reasonably priced but basically everyone who can afford Palo Alto networks chooses them. FTNT wins so much business because Palo firewalls are very expensive and MSFT isn't even in this segment.
FTNT's valuation is the cheapest because they don't have the same potential of controlling a customer's entire security stack the way that PANW or CRWD does. Their products are mature but they are fairly conservative and other companies will continue to offer innovative products that are better and better at detecting more complicated threats than FTNT is.
CRWD and PANW are expanding beyond their initial niches of endpoint security and firewalls respectively by offering cutting edge products in other segments that integrate well with the initial purchase. FTNT's products beyond networking gear are extremely far from the top and lose to Defender which is basically free for most companies. That means the company can make more money selling more firewalls but isn't going to "land and ex.and" the same way CRWD and PANW are or capture demand from companies needing stronger security due to AI.

maybe everyone learned from CRWD that these global issues don't mean the company is gonna explode.

I like how nobody mentions CRWD, yet it’s up +130% since feb and hasn’t fallen either everyone else lmfaoooooo

LLY is like CRWD, totally indestructible in its overvaluation

How the fuck is CRWD always green

Its increased $120 to $163 YTD. Networking runs everything and is more important than anything else imo. Cybersecuritys also in every single company and not going away but evolving with AI. My personal conviction is it’s one of the pick/shovel companies everyone preaches about finding. I can’t say for ANET but CRWD was literally almost the same price as Micron a month ago yet no one said anything

Check out CRWD, and ANET, and other cybersecurity stocks. They’re still going up while space and semis are down
