To The Moon

I used to think investing had to feel stressful.

Watching charts nonstop, refreshing prices, getting emotional over every green or red candle.

But over time, I realized something important:

Money doesn’t need drama.

It just needs consistency.

That’s when I started selling covered call options, and one of my favorite stocks to do this with is TIGR (Tiger Brokers).

It’s not flashy.

It’s not hyped on social media every day.

But it pays me — and that’s what matters.

⸻

The Trade That Made Me Smile Without Doing Much

A simple example:

• Stock: TIGR

• My average cost: around $8

• Call sold: $9.50

• Premium received: $0.28

• Time held: about 3 weeks

• Result: expired worthless

That’s it.

No panic.

No rushing.

No chasing.

Just calm, quiet income.

That single trade gave me almost 3% return in three weeks, while I did… honestly, nothing.

Why I Like TIGR (And Why It Fits My Energy)

I don’t choose stocks that stress me out.

TIGR feels comfortable because:

🌸 It’s Affordable

With the stock around single digits:

• 100 shares ≈ $800

• Easy to manage

• Not overwhelming capital

It feels light, not heavy.

⸻

🌸 It Moves Calmly

TIGR doesn’t usually explode overnight.

It:

• Moves slowly

• Trades in ranges

• Takes its time

And that’s perfect.

I don’t need drama in my portfolio — I need predictability.

⸻

🌸 The Options Premium Is Worth It

Even though the stock price is low:

• The option premium is decent

• $0.28 on an $8 stock is meaningful

Small stock, but it still knows how to pay 💕

⸻

My Strategy: Soft Income, Not Hard Gambling

Let’s be clear — I’m not doing anything risky.

This is covered call selling, which means:

• I already own the shares

• I sell a call option on them

• I get paid upfront

There’s no leverage.

No margin stress.

No sleepless nights.

Just letting time pass and collecting premium.

⸻

Why I Sold the $9.50 Call

I didn’t randomly choose this number.

Here’s my thinking (very calm, very intentional):

💭 My cost is around $8

💭 Selling at $9.50 means I’m already profitable

💭 If it gets called away, I still win

💭 If it doesn’t, I keep the premium

Either way, I’m fine.

That mindset changes everything.

⸻

Getting Paid First Feels Different

When I sold the call:

• $0.28 × 100 shares

• $28 instantly credited

No waiting.

No guessing.

No “maybe”.

I already got paid.

That feeling?

Very peaceful.

⸻

When the Call Expired Worthless 💌

Three weeks passed.

TIGR stayed below $9.50.

The option expired worthless.

Which means:

• I kept the full $28

• I still owned my shares

• My cost basis effectively dropped

This is the outcome I like the most.

It’s quiet.

It’s clean.

It’s repeatable.

⸻

The Math (Simple and Cute)

Capital used: ~$800

Income earned: $28

That’s:

28 ÷ 800 ≈ 3.5\%

In just three weeks.

Not from luck.

Not from prediction.

Just from letting time do its thing.

⸻

Why I Love Short-Term Calls (2–4 Weeks)

I don’t like waiting too long.

Selling calls every few weeks feels better because:

✨ Time decay works faster

✨ I get paid more often

✨ I can adjust if the market changes

It feels flexible — like I’m in control, not stuck.

⸻

What If TIGR Goes Up Too Much?

People always ask this.

And honestly?

I’m okay with it.

If TIGR goes above $9.50:

• My shares get sold at a profit

• I keep the premium

• I walk away happy

I don’t chase “what ifs”.

There will always be another trade.

⸻

What If TIGR Drops?

If the stock drops:

• The premium cushions the loss

• I still own the shares

• I can sell another call later

That’s why I only do this on stocks I’m okay holding.

No emotional attachment.

Just acceptance.

⸻

The Real Glow-Up: Repeating This Over Time

One trade is cute.

But repeating this?

That’s powerful.

Every few weeks:

• Premium comes in

• Cost basis gets lower

• Position feels safer

Over time, the stock starts to feel like it’s paying for itself.

And that’s when investing feels elegant, not stressful.

⸻

Why This Fits My Personality

I don’t want:

• Constant chart watching

• Heart-racing volatility

• Emotional decision-making

I want:

• Calm income

• Predictable outcomes

• Simple systems

Selling covered calls on TIGR gives me exactly that.

⸻

Soft Strategy, Strong Results

This strategy isn’t loud.

It doesn’t need hype.

It doesn’t need screenshots every day.

But it works.

That $0.28 premium may look small —

until you realize how often it repeats.

And while others are waiting for the “perfect entry”…

I’m already getting paid.

Quietly.

Consistently.

Confidently. 💗📊
