January 2022 is over and our SPX strategy once again outperformed the market. The market was horrible last week, full of volatile zig-zag moving and losses. However, it seems that the market found support at the $4,315 level. If it holds we may see the market moving up and that would prop our SPX strategy Continue reading →
2022 Week 03 investing and trading report
Last week the SPX went on a crazy downhill. At first, trading was calm but then it sped up and everybody was selling like crazy. Panic was the investment strategy. And who panicked first was the winner (sarcasm). The initial catalyst for selling was the FED raising the rates surprisingly more than expected. But seriously, Continue reading →
2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 03
What a week! And a month! SPX got hammered though not as much as Nasdaq. We are in a stage where investors are dumping everything now. Even good quality stocks. I guess margin calls are hitting them hard so they have to liquidate even good holdings in their portfolios. Last two weeks, I was rolling, Continue reading →
2022 Week 02 investing and trading report

2022 Week 01 investing and trading report
The new year 2022 hasn’t started very well as the FED released its meeting minutes that spooked the markets rushing away from tech stocks. As I will present in this investing and trading report our account lost 5% in the first week of the new year while the market lost only about 1.8%. But I Continue reading →
2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 01
The first week of 2022 didn’t start well yet our SPX strategy performed satisfactorily last week. FED released its FOMC notes and apparently, the notes said something different than what investors could hear at the FED conference talk. So the market sold off. Our signals turned negative and we reversed some of the put spreads Continue reading →
Buying LEAPS for great returns
Last year, my portfolio gained 400%. But, again, it was stocks and options contributing to such great returns. And LEAPS calls were among those options that contributed significantly. What inspired me to trading LEAPS? I was always interested in leveraging my portfolio. And I was always thinking about how to achieve high income Continue reading →
Why I like trading strangle strategies
Why do I like trading strangle strategies? The simple answer is – because I can roll them for credit. And it is easier to manage. Why trading strangle is better? Yes, any other strategy out there – spreads, be it Condors, single side spreads or even a single option such as call or Continue reading →
