After months of silence, @vida_BWE is back on his channel sharing trading strategies. The way pros operate is just so straightforward and unpretentious—definitely worth learning from.
Here’s a breakdown of his move:
Unlike simply selling naked puts and betting that storage stocks won’t keep dropping,
he’s doing 100% cash-secured put selling, which is essentially placing a batch of “cash-backed limit buy orders” on storage stocks.
Take the MU 660 Put as an example:
He sold 15 contracts, expiring in one month, and immediately pocketed $47,000 in premium.
Each option contract corresponds to 100 shares, so 15 contracts equal 1,500 shares. If Micron ($MU) drops below $660 at expiration, he’ll need to shell out:
1,500 × $660 = $990,000
to buy 1,500 shares of Micron at $660 each.
Additionally, he’s already collected $47,000 in premium upfront, so his actual cost basis would be:
660 − 47,000 ÷ 1,500
≈ $628.7 per share.
Based on MU’s latest closing price of around $820, it would need to drop another ~23% before hitting his real cost basis.
In the end, there are only two possible outcomes:
1️⃣ MU doesn’t drop below $660.
The put expires worthless, Vida doesn’t have to take delivery, and he walks away with $47,000 in premium.
It’s like the market paid him to wait for a month.
2️⃣ MU drops below $660.
He uses the prepared $990,000 to buy 1,500 shares of Micron at an actual cost of ~$628.7 per share.
This is the price he’s already willing to load up on.
So, what Vida is essentially saying is:
If Micron doesn’t drop to my target price, I’ll collect the premium; if it does, I’ll stick to my plan and buy heavily.
Why sell puts now, though?
Because storage stocks just went through a sharp sell-off, with Micron pulling back nearly 40% from its peak. Market panic has caused implied volatility to spike, making put options very expensive.
He’s bullish on the long-term demand for storage driven by AI, and he believes short-term sentiment is nearing its limit. So, he’s turning the market’s fear into his premium income.
This is the right way for big money to scoop up shares during high-volatility markets—playing the left side of the trade like a pro.
