Stock & Options

Stock & Option Income Built Around a Repeatable Process

Own carefully selected stocks and sell out-of-the-money calls and puts to generate income. Each position uses options expiring approximately four weeks later, with new positions spread across a four-week cycle. Allow each position to progress through its planned expiration—and then repeat the process.

Five-step process: Select Stocks, Build the Position, Four-Week Expiration, Evaluate, Repeat

Begin With Better Stock Selection

The Bull Strangle process begins with thousands of optionable stocks. Liquidity and earnings screens eliminate unsuitable candidates, and each remaining stock is then evaluated using seven objective ranking metrics. The result is a focused weekly watch list of approximately 15–25 carefully researched candidates.

Build the Position

One Stock Position. Two Sources of Option Premium. Each Bull Strangle position combines three transactions:

  • Buy shares of a carefully selected stock.
  • Sell an out-of-the-money covered call above the stock price.
  • Sell an out-of-the-money cash-secured put below the stock price.

Both options generally expire approximately four weeks after entry. The call generates income while establishing a potential selling price for the shares. The put generates additional income while establishing a potential price for purchasing more shares.

Spread Positions Across a Four-Week Cycle

New positions are established each week using options that expire four Fridays later. Spreading positions across four weekly portfolio lanes prevents all capital from reaching expiration at once and creates a consistent rhythm in which one cycle expires, is evaluated, and can be replaced each week.

What Happens at Expiration?

Each position is allowed to progress through its planned option expiration. At that point, one of three basic outcomes will generally occur, depending on where the stock finishes relative to the call and put strikes.
