Options Selling Portfolio Gains 0.95% as NVDA Recovers After Earnings
As of May 29, 2026, our options fueled dividend stock portfolio has increased by another +0.95%, reaching $12,861
On a year-to-date basis, the portfolio is now up 22.67%, outperforming both the S&P 500 (+10.39%) and NVDA (+14.77%).
The portfolio was affected by NVDA’s post-earnings price fluctuations. At one point, NVDA dipped below $210, and I decided to take a proactive stance by rolling our 205/195 credit spreads early — both up and out to next week’s expiry.
The week ended strongly for NVDA, with the stock trading above $216 and entering the next options trading cycle in a much more comfortable position.

NVDA has been the cornerstone of our weekly options strategy for more than a year. NFLX is a newer addition to the portfolio, and we are still evaluating whether it deserves a permanent place alongside NVDA.
One of our core objectives is to consistently generate $100+ per week through relatively conservative options-selling strategies. While the income target remains modest, we continue to refine and scale our approach. This is one reason why I have been gradually increasing position sizes and experimenting with larger allocations, while carefully monitoring risk and portfolio performance.
This week options made $77 premium income. It seems pushing above $100 weekly will be challenging at current safety levels, but I dont want to blow up account with more aggressive trades, as I’m still working to reduce the margin debt our portfolio is having.
At the current margin balance of approximately -$3,080, maintaining a sustained $77 weekly pace would theoretically eliminate the debt within roughly 40 weeks. Given the current portfolio structure and risk exposure, I’m expecting to eliminate this debt in 2027.
From options premium generated this week I bought partial shares of other companies to gradually grow our long-term dividend stock portfolio. This week, in particular, I added 0.1 NFLX and 0.1 NVDA - all financed entirely from the options premium generated during the week.
I have decided to pause adding Pfizer (PFE) or other dividend-paying stocks to the portfolio until the margin debt falls below $3,000. Reducing leverage remains the primary objective before allocating additional capital to new positions.
Key Positions to Monitor Next Week
The key positions to monitor next week will be:
NVDA 200/180 Bull Put Spread
NFLX 84/80 Bull Put Spread
If either position comes under pressure, the plan remains unchanged: roll forward whenever possible, ideally for a net credit, while continuing to prioritize long-term portfolio stability over short-term perfection.
