I’m back for another weekly list of **BORING CSPs** I’ll be watching closely and likely selling cash-secured PUTs on. I’ll also be actively selling and managing weekly or bi-weekly CCs where assignments or rolls make sense. This series follows the same rules-based framework I’ve been running and publicly logging weekly since Spring 2025, using real capital and real risk. I appreciate everyone who’s been following along!
Despite all of the chaos, I found a few setups worth taking. **HAL** was the standout. With oil running, I opened three HAL $33 CSP's on Wednesday. Thursday I added two **FCX** $58 CSPs. Both are commodity-sensitive names that tend to hold up during these regimes.
On the covered call side, I stayed busy. Closed the **NVDA** $192.5 CC carryover from last week on Tuesday at $0.15, capturing about 77% of the $0.64 premium. Opened a new NVDA $192.5 CC on Wednesday and flipped it Thursday at $0.06 for a quick 72% of max-profit. Then put on **QCOM** $150 CCs in both accounts and an **SMCI** $40 CC on Thursday. All three share positions are generating income now.
**GOOG** and **DG** are still open as carryovers from previous weeks. Between the new CSPs and covered calls, I collected $556 in premiums on $122k deployed (0.45% ROC). Not a standout week for ROC, but capital is working. Oil at $91 with the Strait still closed is going to keep things volatile heading into next week. Stay safe out there!

Every position is fully cash-secured (no margin, no leverage). When I have the bandwidth to manage risk actively, I’ll favor shorter-dated CSPs; otherwise I stick to 30–45 DTE setups that provide flexibility if volatility persists.
If nothing meets my criteria, I simply don’t trade. The edge is in restraint.
