Week 30 / NVDA, BMY and SHELL Options: $161 Premium, +4.65% Return
As of October 31, 2025, our covered call stock portfolio has grown to $9,617, what is a significant increase of +4.65% (+$426) if compared to the previous week.
The strong performance in our portfolio was driven by a rebound in BMY’s share price and NVDA’s historic breakout above $200, making it the first company ever to surpass a $5 trillion market capitalization. An extraordinary week by any measure.
On a personal note, my mother visited me in Tbilisi, and we enjoyed a few short day trips to David Gareji and Kiketi Farm.
Last week, I rolled BMY options to the $43.50 strike, added a position in Royal Dutch Shell (Amsterdam) to strengthen our euro-denominated exposure, and initiated a new credit spread on NVDA.
Current positions
NVDA NOV 7, 2025 185/175 Bull Put Credit Spread
2X BMY NOV 21, 2025 43.5/38 Bull Put Credit spread
SHELL DEC 19, 2025 31/28 Bull Put Credit Spread
NVDA APR 17, 2026 $115 Covered Call
One of the primary goals of our covered call stock portfolio is to gradually reduce debt while maintaining a long position of 100 shares in NVDA. Notably, we earned $161 in options premium this week. If we can consistently average that amount, it would take approximately 29 weeks to fully eliminate our margin debt of $4,749.
Looking ahead to next week, I will be closely monitoring the NVDA $185/175 put spread Should any of our positions come under pressure, the plan is to roll them forward—ideally for a credit.
