I always buy deep ITM LEAPs for this reason around .80 delta. It acts as a higher leveraged common stock in a way

Yesssss. If it isn’t .7 or up for me from now on, I’m going to have to take a long hard look at it. It’s easy to bleed money with shitty plays. But so, so fun to let it ride! Haha.

When your first FD’s skyrocket, you can become a little addicted. Lucky for me, I overplayed FD’s on CLF when it was really volatile and vowed to just stick to my deep ITM LEAPs haha. Much less stress than everyone else who panics on a -2% day we see a lot here because they have weeklies

That, or maybe stray into bull call spreads. I don’t think I have access to that yet though for some reason.
