#MyOptionInvestmentJourney

Hi everyone! I am back again this week (Dec 01) with an update on my option investing journey.

For new reader, may refer to my recap section on the context.

Now for my update...

πŸ’° Progress So Far:

I have saved up another 1,000USD, my current capital is 3,050 USD as of 2025-DEC-01.

I can now sell 3 units of Put option, so I am going to sell 1 or 2 unit every alternate week.

This week, I have sold 2 Put options that expired next week (20251212).

$TSLL 20251212 13.0 PUT$  

I have collected another 12.5 USD in premium this week β€” bringing my total Net Income since 12th August 2025 to 60.75 USD, which is approximately 1.99% p.a. to date on my capital (currently 3,050 USD).


This means I have 3 Options that expired in two different weeks.

a. 20251205 (1), and

b. 20251212 (2).


Thanks for following along β€” I will post updates weekly.

Lets see how far this small start can go. πŸš€

Good luck to all of us! πŸ€


πŸ” Recap:

I am exploring a practical way for everyday people (like me!) to make the most of their spare savings β€” and hopefully, this inspires or helps someone out there too.


[My Profile]

I started with 1,400 SGD / 1,050 USD in spare savings β€” just sitting in the bank earning minimal interest. Instead of letting it idle, I am testing if I can generate better returns through options investing.


I officially began this journey on August 12, 2025, and chose to invest in an ETF related to Tesla (TSLL) β€” primarily because of its exposure to Tesla and its dividend yield.


πŸ’Ό What I've Done:

A. I have set aside about 3050 USD in my Tiger account as of 2025-DEC-01 incase I need to purchase 300 shares of TSLL from the Options.


B. I am selling Put options to purchase TSLL at my comfortable price range with the duration of 2 weeks.


C. For this week, TSLL price is around 17~19 USD, and I am able to get Buyer for PUT option at 13.00 USD.

So, I am selling a Protect PUT at 13.00 USD that will expire on 2025-DEC-12.


D. My Risk is that I may need to purchase TSLL at 13.00 USD per lot.


E. I check in once a week β€” super manageable, about 10 minutes weekly.


F. I plan to repeat this weekly until I eventually accumulate 100 or 200 shares of TSLL. Then I will make a slight change in this strategy.
