The PELOSI PILL: How to Invest Like Nancy Pelosi and Make a Fortune (No Insider Information Needed!)

[MJ DeMarco]

Yes. Timing becomes very important, or time decay will become a major cost.

Please stop. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm not even sure you read the damn article or understand theta.

With the option, you have a time limit before they become worthless.

True in theory, but not in practice.

You don't allow the LEAP to approach expiration. NEVER.

You sell the LEAP at a profit, or the loss, and then rinse-repeat.

When a LEAP ceases to be a LEAP (< 100 days) you sell, and it is still packed with intrinsic/extrinsic value.

You can actually have the stock go down, and still land in profits because the short options rapidly expire.

I've had several occasions when my LEAP lost $1000 in value per contract, but I profited $1,500 in short options, still grabbing $500 profit on the entire trade.
