About this listen
In this episode, I explain the ultimate capital efficiency hack for options traders: The "Double Dip" strategy. Most traders leave thousands of dollars in cash sitting idle as collateral, earning 0% interest. I show you how to fix that using Portfolio Margin.
I break down the difference between Regulation T (Reg T) and Portfolio Margin (PM). With Portfolio Margin, you can buy cash-equivalent ETFs like S-GOV or the BOX ETF (which has 1256 tax advantages) to earn a safe 4-5% yield. Because these assets are marginable at roughly 90%, you can pledge them as collateral to sell options without paying any margin interest.
This allows you to earn interest on your collateral plus your premium from selling options. I also discuss the account requirements (usually $125k+) and the risk management required to handle 6x leverage responsibly.
