Hi Toofuzzy,

Yes, nice to earn in sync with AIM's trading activity.

I have done it a few times, but not really got into it.



Saw the Jeff Weber video/youtube, but not sure if he is buying and selling call options using the AIM algorithm. Did not read his book.

Also: https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/knjn2j/aim_with_leaps/

I am not intending to do this.

Hi Toofuzzy

Sell a call at a price you would sell.

Sell a put at a price you would buy.

With the time-value of money so low I would have thought that in a low interest rate world that was hardly worth it nowadays. Better when time-value (interest rates) is 4% or higher.

Instead I use 2x stock, half weighted, half in 'bonds' i.e. what price/cost the 2x fund pays to scale up to twice the amount of stock exposure is offset by the bonds. Beat bonds and you add alpha/benefit and when debt costs are so very low it doesn't take much to do that.

A 'bond' of a third each stock/cash/gold for instance
