[ConservativeOptionStrategies] drjoe - DLS Strategy income

 

Hello drjoe

I have only just had the time to go through your "DIAGONAL LEAP SPREAD PORTFOLIO STRATEGY".

I hope I am not missing something but I do not see how the returns can be achieved using the allocations described. I have $100,000 total.

Total account = $100,000
Required return pa on account @ 15% = $15,000
Fixed (60% of account)$60,000 @ 4% (optimistic here in Oz) = $2,400
Return required from DLS = $15,000-$2400 = $12,600 = $1,050 pm

Using SPY @ ~$125

LEAPS = $40,000/$125 = 4 contracts (rounding up)
CC = .8 of LEAPS = 3 contracts

Would I not be struggling to achieve $1050 pm from 3 contracts, even before accounting for the LEAP per month decay?

Thank you for anything you can help me with and again, I apologise if I have not understood fully.

Peter
