Are LEAPS put options the ultimate long-term income strategy—or a risky bet in disguise? In this in-depth webcast, Schwab Education Senior Manager Cameron May helps you explore the pros – and cons! – of selling LEAPS put options as a way to potentially generate premium income. You’ll learn what LEAPS are, why some traders might choose to sell long-dated puts, and how factors like volatility, time decay, and margin impact this approach. We’ll walk through key trade selection criteria and risk management practices, using plain, beginner-friendly language that prioritizes education over hype.
Throughout the session, Cameron will demonstrate real-time example trades on the thinkorswim Desktop platform, including analysis of potential entry and exit points.
