All Also Taken : Okay now assume I bought 100 SoFi at (1) and just held it. How much would I have made if I sold at the end of that line?
What if I bought before (1) and didn't sell?

All Also Taken ひな☆彡 SOXL(Bull) OP : No I agree with you, I just think that you're only telling one side of the story. It's one thing to use options to increase your profit, and another to buy naked options
When people say don't buy/sell options they mean don't buy/sell naked options. Options without cash and stock cover really are dangerous
If you have the cash and/or stock to cover assignment then it's just income, but if you don't, that's where it gets dangerous 🫣

All Also Taken : still, why are profits down 45% ?

All Also Taken : okay but they pay out 95% of profits, is that sustainable?

All Also Taken Demon Town : Actually they doubled dividends since 2000.. have profits doubled since then?

All Also Taken 温水煮青蛙 OP : I guess that happens if it's itm, I'm not sure how to stop it, maybe you can ask CS. 12.50 is a good price though.

All Also Taken Exactly : US account?

All Also Taken : Diversification is what protects you from crashes. If they don't, it's not diversification
If you're a professional investor, even if the market crashes you still have bills to pay. So you can't all in Tesla because then you will have to sell at a low to pay your bills
So you have to diversify into bonds and dividend-paying stock, so you will still have money to pay your bills if the market crashes
