📊 META Trade Thesis – Cash-Secured Put Strategy

✅ Why META?

🔹 Strong Business Model with Durable Moats

Meta Platforms remains a dominant force in digital advertising, social media, and AI infrastructure. With its family of apps (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Meta enjoys network effects and global reach that continue to attract ad spend even in challenging macro conditions.

🔹 AI & Monetization Growth Drivers

The company’s investment in AI—both for advertising optimization and its open-source Llama models—positions it at the forefront of scalable monetization. Reels engagement, click-to-message ads, and AI-powered business messaging are opening new revenue streams.

🔹 Financial Resilience

Meta has a fortress balance sheet with tens of billions in cash, minimal debt, and ongoing share repurchases. This provides downside protection while the company continues innovating.

🔹 Valuation & Technical Perspective

Recent pullbacks in price have made META more attractive relative to its long-term earnings power. Technicals suggest a solid support base, providing a high-conviction zone for premium selling.

⚠️ Risks to Monitor

• 🧠 Slower-than-expected monetization from AI and messaging products

• 🗳️ Heightened political and regulatory noise leading into the US elections

• 🧾 Ongoing costs from Reality Labs development affecting margins

🎯 My Strategy

I’ve sold a cash-secured put on META as part of my long-term wheel income strategy. My goal is to:

• Generate yield in sideways or bullish markets

• Acquire quality stocks at fair valuations if assigned

• Rotate into covered calls for continued income if shares are put to me

📈 This approach aligns with my broader strategy of staying invested in high-quality tech names while managing downside through responsible position sizing and premium income generation.
