IWM
iShares Russell 2000 ETF
stock NYSE ETF

Oh my so many different stocks. I’d choose index funds. Like VOO. IWM. SCHD. Get market exposure without buying every single stock lol. Just my 2 cents.

Thats a pretty big "may have" considering all the puts market wide from March 20th OPEX into Apr 17th OPEX. For SPY and IWM total options for both those dates far exceeded the floats.

They gave this 🤡 🐻 a IWM July 17 200P?
No one's ever seen like IWM $280, but we're seen IWM $200 A LOT.
Judgment Day, July 10th 2026, draws ever closer.

What did I miss? Noticing my IWM and TLT puts are both up.

Your trading plan/strategy needs to cater for this. This is why I started to find a day trading strategy which fits around my circumstances - like amount of starting capital, time, which broker access etc - I am based in UK, not US. I day trade options once a day, maybe 2-3 times a week. Just restarted with $200 and target to get to $60,000 in 6 months.
I haven't posted since 1 year on my youtube channel, I will do some videos soon. You can see my profits loss and some analysis. Check my profile for the channel.
\- I only day trade options as it fits my trading plan, ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc, and target only $5-15 per contract although, I am greedy on many days :D
\- if you plan to trade 5 days with targets, it is pushing yourself too much as you will be forcing the trades while working, give yourself leeway

IWM is also due to get wrecked based on the fact it has been giga pumped for over a year now on promises of massive rate cuts yet we only got like 2/6 rate cuts promised and now it seems like the rate cut regime is over and hikes are even an option.
IWM will have a massive fall from grace when it all goes to shit.

Correct me if I'm wrong but small cap companies are more likely to struggle from rising energy costs (oil), right? IWM has to get wrecked at some point I would think

You need to select first bid above the price and ask for BCS. Bid is a short strike, ask is a long strike. The same for PCS. I trade 1dte spreads for SPY QQQ and IWM all the time and now using bot that I have developed together with Claude. Just monitoring what is working and what not and fine tunings. There is options interactive learning tool at IBKR I strongly recommend going through the hole process before you place spreads, it is very helpful to learn to correctly select the strikes.

Your logic is flawed and makes no sense; IWMI inception date was December 2025, therefore there is only five months of distributions. And IWM pays quarterly, IWMI pays out monthly.
Care to try again? Oh, and educate yourself on the type of ROC CC ETF’s issue. Before you come for me again, come educated and correct!

Put an equal amount in IWM & IWMI, 1 Year ago. Reinvest all Divs(in your case your own money) back into shares. Cash out now... You have \~7% less in IWMI than IWM.
It makes BIG Sense, FYI

Your comment makes little sense. Not all ROC is bad ROC! And what does this mean: *"Still under-performs IWM over last year by 7%(all taxes paid)."*

Hell just give me your money and I'll give a little bit of 'your own' money back to you every quarter. Still under-performs IWM over last year by 7%(all taxes paid). To early to see it's real NAV erosion.
