Week 34 / Covered Call Portfolio Breaks $10K and Beats the S&P 500

| 32 seen

Fund Value: $10,070 | Yearly: 29.94% | Options premium: $44.00

As of November 28, 2025, our covered-call stock portfolio has surpassed the $10K milestone for the first time, closing at $10,069 — a weekly gain of +2.64% (+$269 versus last week). We reached the $10K mark a few weeks earlier than expected.

As seasoned put sellers, we remain cautious and do not rule out a potential pullback in the coming weeks. Favorable EUR/USD exchange rate movements also contributed a small boost to the portfolio’s performance. Good progress overall.

Additionally, at the office in Tbilisi today, we lit the Christmas tree and are officially ready for the holiday season.

Year-to-date, we’re up 29.94%, outperforming the S&P 500 by a wide margin (+16%).

As usual, we made no major moves throughout the week. Our previous NVDA credit spread expired worthless, and today we opened a new weekly NVDA credit spread. I also used a small portion of the options premium to buy an additional 0.1 NVDA share for the portfolio.

Current positions

  • NVDA DEC 5, 2025 165/155 Bull Put Credit Spread
  • 2X BMY DEC 19, 2025 43/40 Bull Put Credit spread
  • SHELL DEC 19, 2025 31/28 Bull Put Credit Spread
  • NVDA APR 17, 2026 $115 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 $44 in options premium this week. If we can consistently average that amount, it would take approximately 102 weeks to fully eliminate our margin debt of $4,532.  Reaching that level in under a year would require taking on more risk, but this week we opted for an ultra-conservative approach. Better safe than sorry — no need to chase higher option premiums.

For now, the focus remains on smaller, higher-quality, and adjustable trades. 

Looking ahead to next week, I will be closely monitoring the NVDA $165/155 put spread. Should any of our positions come under pressure, the plan is to roll them forward—ideally for a credit.
