stock NASDAQ

Nice trades, capturing over 80% on those closed calls is smooth

I'm curious about the KORU play, any specific reason for going with a leveraged ETF over just QQQ or SPY? The premium looks decent but I always get a little nervous around decay on those

The wheel strategy on AMSC/VICR/TTMI makes sense if you're cool holding the bags for a bit, those are solid picks that arent going anywhere. Selling below cost basis for the juice is definitely the smarter move in this market

Trades I took today as an option seller (08/25):
**Closed Positions**
* **VICR → $280 Call (opened on 07/30)**, premium 10.50 → closed at 1.50. Net premium profit = 9.00 (\~85.71% of premium captured, \~3.21% of capital).
* **TTMI → $175 Call (opened on 08/11)**, premium 8.00 → closed at 1.30. Net premium profit = 6.70 (\~83.75% of premium captured, \~3.83% of capital).
* **AMSC → $45 Call (opened on 08/11)**, premium 1.30 → closed at 0.24. Net premium profit = 1.06 (\~81.54% of premium captured, \~2.36% of capital).
**New Positions**
* **KORU → $15.5 Put expiry 09/18 (4 weeks DTE), premium 0.90 → 90/1550 = \~5.8%.** Deployed a small capital in KORU. As this is leveraged it is very important to size this position.
* **AMSC → $38 Call expiry 10/16 (8 weeks DTE), premium 0.80 → 80/4700 = \~1.7%.** I was assigned AMSC at $47. AMSC is involved in semiconductor and optical networking technologies used in AI datacenters.
* **VICR → $270 Call expiry 11/20 (13 weeks DTE), premium 16.50 → 1650/27000 = \~5.1%.** I was assigned VICR at $320. VICR makes power conversion modules used in datacenters and industrial systems.
* **TTMI → $150 Call expiry 12/18 (17 weeks DTE), premium 10.80 → 1080/15000 = \~6.1%.** I was assigned TTMI at $175. TTMI manufactures printed circuit boards used across multiple industries.
I am currently wheeling **AMSC, VICR, and TTMI**, all of which were assigned to me at higher prices. I am confident in the fundamentals of these companies, so I am comfortable holding the shares while waiting for the market to recover.
For the covered calls, I am intentionally selling below my assigned price to generate higher premiums. If the stock price approaches my current call strike within approximately ±5%, I will roll the position out to a later expiration and move the strike to my original assigned price.
I keep sharing my trades in my account and the Excel file to my full list of positions is linked in my profile description in case anyone wants to see the whole portfolio. Happy to hear thoughts on my positions. What are you guys wheeling or watching right now?
