Hey traders,
Last week I pulled about 8% in just three days on Broadcom (AVGO).
That’s not a bad sandwich.
And here’s the kicker: I’ll probably do it again this week.
I know 8% isn’t exactly a home run trade to most people. But this isn’t about home runs.
Because honestly… think about it. Home runs are special because they’re rare.
In baseball — and in trading — most of the points you rack up are made up by stacking base hits.
In other words, it’s not about being a hero. It’s about running a simple system of short-term option trades that you can rinse and repeat.
The Setup
I look for liquid, option-rich stocks with plenty of juice in the premiums. AVGO is one I go back to often — big name, strong movement, and tight spreads.
Instead of chasing a big directional move, I sell short-dated options — usually weeklys, or options expiring at the end of the week.
My goal is simple: collect premium up front and let time decay do the work.
Because in that last week before expiration, time decay really ramps up and puts the trades in an option seller’s favor.
Taking the Money Off the Table
When the trade goes my way and the premium collapses, I don’t hang around just to squeeze the last few pennies out of the trade.
I close the position, bank the profit, and get ready for the next one.
That’s where the “roll” comes in.
Rolling It Forward
Rolling just means I take the money from the old trade and put it into a new one, usually out to the next week.
It resets the clock, puts fresh premium in my account, and keeps the income stream flowing.
If you can clip 7–10% on a position in a matter of days, and then repeat that cycle week after week, it adds up faster than most people realize.
Remember, most long term investors are happy with 8% per year. If you’re able to get that in a week, you’re really cashing in bigtime.
The Takeaway
You don’t need to predict the next big market move to make money.
You just need a repeatable process:
- Sell premium against strong stocks on short-dated options.
- Take the money when it’s there.
- Roll it forward and do it again.
That’s how I pulled 8% in three days last week. And it’s how I plan to keep pulling income as long as the market keeps handing me the setups.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
