Q: Hello 5i,

I'm considering an option's strategy that would allow me to capture the upside to stock ideas (e.g., smaller cap companies) in cases where I would prefer to not purchase the stock, as I already have quite a few stocks especially in the technology sector. For example, I was thinking of buying a few call options for CLBT at a strike price of $20, expiring Jan. 16, 2026 for around $0.65. I would sell to close the options a bit ahead of the expiry date if the stock price is above $20. I have previously sold puts for things like AXON and CLS but then the stock price took off and I was left with a reasonable premium but nothing compared to the price appreciation. I would appreciate any thoughts you have about this idea. Also wondering what your top 5 ideas might be for the US market with a strike price/timeframe for the option.

Thanks so much,
Lisa
