Wallflowers

Been writing covered calls about 25 years, and I've posted a fair bit in this community and others. I've been lucky, most of what I put up gets tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of views, and real discussion in the comments. And the ones that do best? They're usually the posts that seem obvious. There's a reason these obvious posts take off, and a reason I keep making them. It's probably not what the people who give me a hard time think. As a curious observer, you come into a sub like this genuinely wanting to learn, or maybe contribute, and you run into a wall of intimidation. People posting charts with ten indicators on them, throwing around Greeks and insider lexicon like it's a trading floor. So, you can imagine how someone new feels walking into that. Like your question is obviously too dumb to say out loud in front of the seasoned sophisticates who clearly know what they're doing. So, you don't ask it. and if you never ask, you never learn, and you stay stuck on the sidelines. So that's why I do it. If some guy who's been doing this 25 years is comfortable posting Options 101 in here, then you're allowed to ask anything, and you shouldn't feel like you have to sit on the sidelines. And like clockwork, every time I post something that seems basic, there's always that one dude that crawls out of the woodwork to let me know. Blessed indeed 🙏 https://preview.redd.it/7lam5gunirkh1.png?width=991&format=png&auto=webp&s=9c732e7d676d951773a641e5132eb7be516baf9a Doesn't bother me. If one person reading this finally feels okay asking their question because of it, that's worth way more to me than a couple of snarky comments. So, this is for you, Wallflowers. There's no such thing as a dumb question, only the ones people were too intimidated to ask. Good luck out there.
