“Depending on how much cash you need toward the down payment and how many shares you own, you could sell calls, close to the money and use the proceeds toward the house”

For every $100k of brkb, selling ATM 3Month call will only net me about 3%, which is $3k. Not enough for down payment :)

Brkb’s option’s implied vol is cheaper than every stocks in my watch list, even cheaper than QQQE and GLD. Actually i think it makes more sense to sell the stock and buy OTM calls (for my situation if i have to sell) or just buy puts (for people worry about about valuations but don’t like the tax hit come with the sell)
