IREN Wheel Strategy Options Explained | How I Personally Collect $8K In Premiums/Month
392 segments
All right, guys. AI stocks are coming
down, and I see a really big
opportunity. Today's video is going to
be on IREN stock and what I am
personally doing with a position that
I'm holding. And I also want to discuss
using the wheel strategy on IREN because
this stock has a lot of volatility, and
selling premiums has been a very
interesting opportunity that I've been
looking at that I'm implementing myself.
And right now, you're basically going to
get a better price because I have a 50
sell put on IREN, which I'm currently
running the wheel on, but I want to show
you a new position that I plan to open
up since IREN stock has essentially
crashed. Now, this is a really
high-quality company, and it has
essentially taken the elevator down or
the parachute down if you watched my
video yesterday. Went from $68 per share
down to $47. Now, as you can see, this
is a very violent and very volatile move
from IREN. IREN owns large amounts of
access to low-cost energy, and they're
essentially arbitraging. They're taking
low energy and then selling it for a
higher price. I really like this play
because they have a lot lower risk than
some of the other AI stocks. And seeing
the price under $50, I believe it's an
absolute steal because this company is
really good at arbitraging and finding
cheap energy. Well, specifically, power
is the bottleneck, and that's actually
why IREN is my favorite stock to be
invested in. So, let me show you kind of
step-by-step how I'm doing my wheel
strategy on IREN. Let me show you kind
of an interesting way to look at this.
So, first of all, stock under $50. I
have $50 sell puts. I'm down on the
position so far, but with the wheel
strategy, we are not concerned with
getting assigned, okay? Whenever we sell
a put option using the wheel strategy,
which is the first step, we don't mind
assignment in a majority of cases. In
this case, I actually am very happy to
own IREN. I want to show you kind of a
new position that I would open up today.
So, I'm going to go to trade options,
and I'm going to go to sell put option.
I'm going to also talk about the delta
that I'm choosing, and you'll see kind
of why I'm going for a higher delta. So,
look, check this out. IREN currently is
pretty low, and it's at the bottom of
its Bollinger Band. I really believe
we're at a support level right now,
either right at the support level, like
literally at $47. Now, when the market
opens up, the stock could go low, right?
I'm not a genie, I can't predict the
future. Maybe we go below the Bollinger
Band and also the RSI is 38. Potentially
we go to 30 RSI, right? So, maybe the
stock goes down to 45. But, the whole
point is that we're probably somewhere
near support levels, right? Whether it's
47 or 45 dollars. I actually think it's
even higher than that and we're like
below this is very unusual because you
can see a pretty hard bounce here from
like $47 here back in May 19th. So, it's
been about 6 weeks since May 19th as of
making this video basically in early
July, right? We're almost in July. We're
like at the end of June. So, what I see
happening is that the stock ran up.
There's a lot of investor enthusiasm
here and and lately the stock market has
been having a lot of volatility. Now, I
think the Iran situation is part of
that. I think also there's just
volatility in the market and people are
getting a little bit spooked. And of
course, when there's negative sentiment
in the market, everything gets sold off.
So, I don't think this is a justified
sell-off for Iran, which is why I want
to look at this sell put position. I'm
going to go for an expiration date
that's going to go out for August 21st.
This is like a 53-day option. Now, look,
you can go shorter term as well.
Whenever you're running the wheel
strategy, the whole point is you want to
create a system a process to basically
get in a stock by selling put options.
Eventually you will get assigned no
matter how low delta you go, you will
eventually get assigned. Once you are
assigned, essentially now you have
shares. Well, how do you generate income
from shares that you have in a stock?
Well, that's by selling covered calls,
right? Because you have shares, now you
sell a call option giving your rights
away to someone else call that stock
away from you if it breaches your strike
price, right? So, if I sell and I'll let
me just go step by step here. So, look,
I'm going to go to sell put option and
I'm going to go for a put option here
that's going to be at 47. So, the 47 put
option, man, that premium. That premium
is bicep or tricep, baby. I'm sorry if
I'm being cheesy, but I'm just trying to
have some fun with it. You guys in the
comment section, your biceps are small.
Hey, I'm I'm working on it. I'm working
on it. But, I'm trying to have some fun
here and make some money at the same
time. So, if you appreciate that, just,
you know, like the video. But, look, $47
strike price, the premium, oh my
goodness. This is an insane premium. If
we were to do this like, you know, 755
and the max loss here is 3900. Don't
look at the max loss as the max loss
because the max loss is referring to if
the stock goes down to zero, which I
mean, can IREN go down to zero? Sure,
very unlikely, but you see what I'm
saying? You don't want to really look at
it as the maximum loss, the worst-case
scenario. You want to look at what's
more likely to happen. Can IREN come
down? It can come down and you would get
assigned, but you're only really having
to put up 3945 in terms of cap, which is
pretty insane considering this is a $47
strike price. You're going from 47 all
the way down to under 40 in terms of
your average cost if you get assigned
because the premium is so
so bellissimo, right? If you've been to
Italy, it's like the Italian pizza, the
the buffalo cheese, right? Just the
extra margarita sauce. It's just I don't
know. This is like, why am I making a
video on IREN? Because I love the stock
for a couple of reasons. They're really
good at arbitraging low electricity cost
and selling it for high, that's in high
demand. And the stock is capitalizing on
one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI
right now. So look, if I expand this
option right here, right? Has a 40
delta. Now, the reason why I don't mind
going for a higher delta here is again,
I want to get assigned into IREN. That's
my goal because once infrastructure is
built out, higher utilization can
significantly improve profitability. And
that is what I think is the next step
for IREN right now. I think it's going
to become a much more profitable
company. So getting in at $47 per share
here is fine and has a high delta. Now,
that's why the premium is also higher.
Risk and return are kind of correlated,
guys, in basic finance 101 or economics
101. Risk and return go hand in hand,
right? If it's low risk, then it's
probably lower return. If it's higher
risk, then it's going to be higher
return, right? These two things
correlated, I mean, they go hand in
hand. Not one-to-one ratio, right?
Higher risk does not mean, you know,
three times higher risk does not mean
three times higher return, okay? What it
could mean is two times higher risk,
three times higher return. That is
possible, right? So I'm looking for
asymmetric upside given the level of
risk that I'm taking. So in terms of
position size that I would take on this,
I would simply go 5% of my portfolio.
That's pretty much what I feel very
comfortable with. So, look, if I sell
this 47 put option, that's the premium
I'm getting. That's step number one.
Now, step number two is essentially
you're waiting. If it's out of the
money, then you're fine. You don't do
anything, right? If the option expires
out of the money, so on August 21st, you
don't do anything, right? You don't
really need to manage this trade earlier
either because when I use the wheel
strategy, I'm not trying to actively
trade the wheel strategy. I'm using the
wheel strategy to more so go for more
passive income approach. So, I'm looking
at high-quality companies and those
high-quality companies like Iran it's
not a mega cap max seven stock. So, it's
a high-quality company that has higher
risk. This has high implied volatility.
You can actually see right here the
implied volatility is 117. So, if you're
like, "Hey Uncle Henry, I've been
looking to you know, I've been looking
to buy stuff over try stuff make some
gains." Well, high implied volatility
will do that. High implied volatility is
what helps you make more gains because
it has higher premium because it's
higher risk. Implied volatility is
essentially risk. That's all it is,
right? Implied volatility is how much a
stock is likely to move within the next
30 days based off of investors'
opinions, right? So, there's a bunch of
people in the market, market makers,
investors, hedge funds, algorithms, they
deem this risk to be about 117% over the
next 30 days. That's pretty much what
implied volatility stands for to make it
like a short and sweet answer. So, this
is like three times more risk than a
majority of stock. However, Iran has
been fairly stable. I get it the stock
is down a bunch, but if you actually
look here in this six-month chart, the
stock has gone from, you know, a little
bit sub 40 to $47. And at one point,
this stock was at, you know, 67 plus
dollars per share. So, I really like it
right now in terms of the valuation, the
fundamental valuation, and on a
technical basis, I like to see this
company that has fallen below the moving
average. The moving average here is
$54.80.
So, when I look at an opportunity, I
want to look for a cheaper opportunity,
right? I don't know if it's super cheap.
This is not the cheapest stock in the
world because it has a higher valuation.
This is not a Coca-Cola. So, after I
sell a put option, either it doesn't
happen, it expires out of the money, or
expires in the money and I get assigned,
then congratulations, I got assigned.
Great. So, then what I go ahead and do
is I just switch the table and I go to
sell call option. Now, the whole thing
with selling a call option, I like to go
for lower delta. The reason for a lower
delta though is because I want room for
upside, okay? So, let's say like right
now we got assigned on I rent. We have
100 shares, okay? Let's go into the you
know, third step of the wheel strategy.
We're thinking, should we sell calls or
should we wait? Um is this stock going
to recover? Well, the honest truth is it
can be very difficult to predict what
can happen with the stock, right? It's
very difficult to stock market can be
very random and I mean you've seen that
situation many times, right? I'm not
going to waste time on that. But, if the
stock is at the bottom of its Bollinger
Band, in this case, I would not sell
covered calls at all. I'm going to be
honest with you. I'm going to kind of
mess up this video, but I would not
fully run the wheel strategy right away
if the stock's at the bottom of its
Bollinger Band. As it comes up, I would
likely sell a lower delta, okay? So,
let's say that we got assigned, we wait
a little bit, we have a little bit of an
increase, then we go in for a sell call
option. So, we can go for a sell call
option here. It's a little bit difficult
because you can actually see the strike
here is 50 and then it skips to 55. I
ideally want something in between. I'm
going to show you kind of an interesting
way you can do that. Look, 50 gives you
some room for upside, but not too much
and 55, I would say that, you know, can
it go to 55? It can, but if you want
something in the middle ground, what you
can also do is let's say you have two
contracts, right? You have 200 shares of
I rent, right? You can also do two of
these. So, you can do one of this. Now,
this is really interesting cuz if you
think about it, if one is at 50 and
one's at 55, or the blended average
strike price is actually 52 and a half.
So, you could always like do this as a
strategy as well. Like something maybe
new that you haven't really learned yet
is if you have one strike price that's
50 and one strike that's, you know, 55,
it's basically just a mixed average
strike price of 52 and a half. So, you
can always kind of like mix up your
strike price by just having multiple
orders, multiple different contracts at
different strike prices. I actually
really like this not only for um you
know, different strike prices, but I
actually would do something like this.
So, look, I'm going to leave 50 on,
right? And then for 55, I can actually
go for a different expiration. So, I can
even go for like September 18th. So, if
you have 200 shares of IREN, right?
Let's say you get assigned 200. You can
even mix it up with the wheel strategy.
You can sell different strike prices
across different expiration dates. The
whole point that I'm trying to get
across here, so yeah, I can do 55. The
whole point that I'm trying to get
across here is the wheel is a really
good system and strategy to get into a
stock. You pick the price, you pick the
strike price, right? So, that is
essentially your price that you get in
at. Of course, you want to, you know,
take in the premium. So, the premium
that you get, you can just subtract that
off your, you know, strike price. So,
you know, like I just showed you, if we
sold a 47 put option we got over seven
bucks, then our effective average cost
is under 40, right? That's why I think
on IREN it just makes so much sense
because the implied volatility is high.
You can see here the implied volatility
is still like around 113, 114 for the 55
strike. So, essentially once I have sold
the covered call, again, I'm just
patiently waiting. I'm just patiently
waiting. I'm hands-off because I want
high returns. I love making, you know, a
bunch of money. That's one of my goals.
That's what I do for my community. I'm
always trading live. Like today, later
today, it's Monday. I'm going to be
trading live for my community. I'm going
to essentially make three to five trades
today. My community is going to be able
to see that, pretty much follow along,
and that's our goal. Our goal is to
place high-quality trades and be winning
on those trades. Now, when I look at
IREN, I'm pretty excited about opening
this position later today. So, I just
wanted to share this on YouTube.
Anyways, I don't want to make this video
too long. I didn't prepare for it or
really like script anything. I'm just
going just randomly off the top of my
head pretty much what my thoughts are
for one of the trades that I'm going to
make today. So, if you appreciate this
kind of analysis, you want to learn more
about the wheel strategy, want to see
the trades that I'm making, want to see
the stocks that I'm picking, then I
welcome you to check out more
information on my Discord community. You
can schedule a free call down in the
description. You can learn about what
I'm doing. But either way, I hope that
you found a lot of value in this video.
Actually, if you want to learn more
