To The Moon

📌 The Setup:

You’re bullish on Alphabet (GOOGL), trading at $182.30. Instead of buying 100 shares (costing $18,230), you choose a long-term call option:

• Strike Price: $100

• Expiry: June 2026 (~1 years from now)

• Premium: $88 per share → $8,800 per contract (100 shares)

Now, fast forward 12 months: What if GOOGL surges to $300? Or crashes to $50?

Let’s explore both outcomes.

🎯 Why Consider the Option Strategy?

• ✅ Leverage: Same exposure with less capital.

• ✅ Defined Risk: You know your maximum loss upfront.

• ✅ High Reward: If the stock moves big in your favor, the payoff is exponential.

But also:

• ⚠️ All-or-nothing: If the stock trades sideways or drops, you could lose the entire premium.

• ⏳ Time decay matters: The option loses value if the stock doesn’t move quickly enough.

📈 Final Thoughts

Long-term deep ITM call options (LEAPS) can be powerful substitutes for stock ownership — especially when:

• You want capital efficiency

• You have high conviction

• You’re aware of volatility and timing risks

💡 In a world where capital allocation matters, smart use of LEAPS can provide asymmetric returns — if you’re willing to stomach the volatility.
