    You're just taking the logic beyond the empty savings account, as if the bank paid you monthly interest on the amount you once held, as a thank you for your trust.

    You seem to be ignoring that the dividend is also dropping. We will see how it works out.

    I don't understand why you are so proud to have sold the right to to buya $15.50 stock for $17.50.
    You have said you knew it would break $15.50, so if you wanted to own shares why not buy at $15.50.
    And I don't believe MARA pays a dividend.
    Another stock that makes you wonder. Low P/E, has earnings, just had its best quarted ever, yet the price keeps dropping. Go figure.
    be interesting to see your EW wave count on MARA

    Less wondering more trading! I know enough about directional trading to know that you don't aim for the bottom, you leg into the bottom.

    Of course the dividend is dropping... volatility is dropping...did you think it was going to pay $4 forever?

  5. Welcome to the club.
    I posted similar story with AGNC paid me of 100% of my cost of stocks and I’m continuing to get dividends.
    Do you know how much criticism I had. It’s wrong, I do not know what I’m doing.
    But you know what is main point - it worked !!!
    For short period of time divy stocks which pays highly yield may be very profitable.
    It should be right time and right price !
    You may play with stock price to achieve you 100% cash back.
    BTW I have AMDY and CONY 100 shares each, for experiment ;)

    It's the same as early bitcoin days...the people who just don't get it default to hate and fear mongering.

  10. However, this is highly risky investments based on the options trades :)
    At some point it will be FU..t.
    I’m watching a few, trying to figure out when to enter and when you should not.
