SOXL CSP. Targeting a 24% annual ROI.
SOXL CSP. 50-70% OTM. 30-40 days out. Does anyone else use SOXL or TQQQ to target conservative returns? I have wheeled many individual stocks like NVDA, TSLA, etc. as well as ETFs like USD and NUGT. I don't like the risk associated with holding the stock or ETF. I like …
