    100x return in one year on GOOGL LEAPS


    I bought a ton of different leaps before and after 🥭's tariff adventure, totaling $33k cost basis, ending up worth 1.35M.

    This is the best returning specific lot, on a Jan 2027 380C purchased on April 4 last year when GOOGL hit 145.

    Realized about 900k of the gains including the above position to derisk (hurt to do), but holding onto about 500k of the longest dated positions (Dec 2027 365C) as I still strongly believe in the company.

    Also because it pisses off people here, putting some of the gains into more GLD LEAP puts because gold is more speculative than BTC at this point.

      Wild timing on that entry when Google was at absolute bottom, could probably buy small house with those gains in my area

      Bought a single call contract with strike at 400 expiring on Jan 15 2027 back in January of this year. That call option has double its value for me. To see this is even more wild

      What’s your strategy for buying leaps? How far in advance, how deep ITM/OTM, target delta?

      At first I was like 4/4 was a saturday? Then realized it’s 4/4 2025.

      Nice trade OP!

      I have a similar entry date but the $190 call.
      Sold several when the price pumped to $250 then again at $300. Now holding another 5 and kept all my shares.

      Best trade I’ve executed aside from early btc exposure.

      Don’t remind me. I had these and sold for 10x, alongside my SNDK $180 calls…

      This hurts more because so many people (including me) had the opportunity to double down on GOOGL (at least shares if not options) in April / May 2025 & did not proceed

      Congrats OP

      This has got to be META now right? Values pretty low so the LEAPs can really move.
