Options Income Daily: MRVL, NOK, RKLB and More
by Monta HONG, CFA | Options Strategist
Welcome to your Daily Income Opportunities from the Seller Dashboard. This section highlights short-term income opportunities from today’s options market. Each pick is evaluated based on annualized ROI, probability of expiring out-of-the-money, and premium yield from the Seller Dashboard.
RoketLab Largest Options Trade
Last Friday, a trader sold 1,300 contracts of $Rocket Lab (RKLB.US)$ Jun 12, 2026 $109 Put at approximately $7.09, collecting a total premium of $921K (bid-side, opening position). With RKLB down -8% to $110 on the day, the trade was placed slightly out-of-the-money with just 5 days to expiration.
Selling puts at the bid into a sharp selloff is a structurally bullish-to-neutral stance: the trader is either betting the drawdown is overdone and the stock will hold above $109 through Friday, or is willing to be assigned at an effective cost basis of ~$101.91 — a ~7.4% discount to spot. The short tenor and elevated post-selloff implied volatility make this a classic premium-harvesting setup, monetizing fear while expressing constructive conviction on RKLB's near-term floor.

What cash secured put is
- You sell a put option on a stock you’re willing to own.
- You collect a premium upfront—your maximum profit if the option expires worthless.
- If the stock falls below the strike at expiration, you may be assigned and must buy 100 shares per contract at the strike price (effective cost = strike – premium).
- You keep enough cash to cover the potential purchase, hence “cash-secured.”
Typical uses:
- Income generation: earn regular premium income.
- Buying at a discount: get assigned shares at an effective lower price.
What covered call is
- You already own the stock and sell a call option against it (“covered”).
- You collect a premium upfront as income.
- If the stock stays below the strike, the call expires worthless and you keep both shares and premium.
- If the stock rises above the strike, you sell at that price (capping upside) but still keep the premium.
Typical uses:
- Income generation: earn option premiums while holding shares.
- Exit strategy: sell at a target price while generating extra income.
Strategy Notes
- Focus on higher probabilities for safer trades.
- Monitor implied volatility—higher IV means richer premiums but greater price swings.
Disclaimer: Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all customers. It is important that investors read the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before engaging in any options trading strategies. Opening new options positions close to or on their expiration date comes with substantial risk of losses for reasons that include potential volatility of the underlying security and limited time to expiration. Options transactions are often complex and may involve the potential of losing the entire investment in a relatively short period. Certain complex option strategies carry additional risk, including potential losses that may exceed the original investment amount.
