Week 21 / $98 Premiums, NVDA Volatility, and DOCU Position

| 70 seen

Fund Value: $8,504 | Yearly: 8.87% | Options premium: $98.00

As of August 29, 2025, our covered call stock portfolio stood at $8,504, what is another weekly increase of +1.81%  (+$150). While Year-to-date, our portfolio is +8.87%. Awesome! 

This week, we collected $98 from selling options, what is slightly above my goal to generate at least 1% weekly in options premium (1.15% this week). 

Our portfolio remains concentrated in NVDA stock, and this week proved especially volatile due to NVDA’s earnings report on August 27. Fortunately, all of our options positions expired worthless, allowing us to move forward without setbacks.

In addition, I explored DocuSign this week and decided to take a small position. We initiated a bull put spread to test the waters, while also adding 0.5 shares to our long-term portfolio.

I'm currently holding one covered call on NVDA with a $113 strike price expiring on December 19, which is significantly deep in the money. If we allow the shares to be called away at expiry, this would lock in an unrealized profit of approximately $6,100

Current positions

  • NVDA Sep 5, 2025 165/155 Bull Put Credit Spread
  • DOCU Sep 5, 2025 66/60 Bull Put Credit spread
  • NVDA Dec 19, 2025 $113 Covered Call 

One of the primary goals of our covered call stock portfolio is to gradually reduce debt while maintaining a long position of 100 shares in NVDA. Notably, we earned $98 in options premium this week. If we can consistently average that amount, it would take approximately 55 weeks to fully eliminate our margin debt of $5,416

Looking ahead to next week, I will be closely monitoring the NVDA $165 puts. DOCU also warrants attention with its upcoming earnings report scheduled for September 4. Should any of our positions come under pressure, the plan is to roll them forward—preferably for a credit.

Berlin Zoo and Aquarium: One of the Best Things To Do in Berlin With Kids

At the start of April 2026, during our roughly five-day trip to Berlin, we finally visited the famous Berlin Zoo for the first time - or at least the first time I can actually remember. There is a chance my mom might have taken me here sometime in the early 1990s, but if so, those memories are long gone. This visit felt completely new, and…
