The Smart Way to Own NVDA: Collect 10% Before You Even Buy
At about $224.36 a share, NVIDIA (NVDA) is trading near its 52W high.
Do you think NVDA stock is a good long-term bet at current levels? What about at a 30% discount at about $155 per share? If you think that is a steal, and have some cash ready to go, here is a trade.
10% annualized yield at 30% margin of safety by selling Put Options.
- Sell a long-dated Put option expiring 6/17/2027, with a strike price of $155
- Collect roughly $980 in premium per contract (each contract represents 100 shares)
- That’s about 6.0% annualized yield on the $15,500 you’re setting aside for the possibility of buying the stock
- This cash parked in a savings or money market account will earn an extra 4.0%, taking total yield to 10.0%
- And you give yourself a chance to buy NVDA stock at deep discounted price of $155
Possible Trade Outcomes: You Win Either Way
| Stock Price Outcome | What It Means For You |
|---|---|
| NVDA stays above $155 | You keep the full $980 premium – 6.3% extra income over the next 381 days on cash that might otherwise earn you 4.0% or less. You never buy the stock and simply walk away with the cash. |
| NVDA closes below $155 | You’ll be obligated to buy 100 shares at $155. But thanks to $980 premium, your effective cost basis is just $145.2 per share – a roughly 35% discount from current level. |
But to hold this trade with conviction, you want to better understand what’s going well for NVDA stock and how low it has fallen in the past.
