Dividend Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week, the markets staged a strong recovery and we grew our net-liq by 4.98%. We had 4 strangles and spreads expiring last Friday and next week we will be reopening those trades. We also purchased dividend growth stocks and SPXL and SSO shares to get our portfolio ready for rapid growth.

Our options income reached impressive $3,829.00 dollars received in premiums. That makes $5,225.00 in October so far. Our third best month in premium income.

Our dividend income was steady, we have received $90.00 in dividends last week, making October at $155.14 dividend income.

We are also growing our dividend growth portfolio and here you can see our dividend income per stock holding and how they contribute to the overall dividend income:

Options Investing and Trading Report

 
As I mentioned above, we generated $3,829.00 options income so far this month and we expect to generate more. I hope, the market would stay pressured for a while so I can keep buying cheaper stocks and making more money on options.

Last week we only rolled our positions and it was extremely profitable. I keep saying that these selloffs are great for investors. All they need to do is stop panicking, assess the situation (which means learning how to evaluate the stock market as a whole), and instead of panic selling engage in buying. We rolled our options trades and made over $3k in premiums, but this selloff also allowed us to buy more stock.

And when the market shot up on Thursday and Friday, we rolled some trades again and generated even more money.
 

You can watch all our trades in this spreadsheet. You can watch the spreadsheet and look for a “NEW” indication next to the trading date. When the indicator shows up, it is typically good for up to 3 days to follow that trade.
 

Expected Future Dividend Income

 
We received $90.00 in dividends last week. It is still slow that I would like to see but we are still in an accumulation phase so I do not care much about the total amount of dividends I am receiving today. I am building a portfolio with the expectation of getting large dividends in the future. And in the meantime, I learned how to trade options to generate consistent income today.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $16,336.97 but that is if we do absolutely nothing and let our positions grow on their own.

We are also set to receive a $4,053.22 annual dividend income. We are 23.27% of our 10 year goal.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 41
 

The chart above shows how our future dividend income is based on the future yield on cost and what dividend income we may expect in the future. The expected dividend growth depends on what stocks we are adding to our portfolio and the stocks’ 3 years average dividend growth rate. It is interesting to see what passive income we may enjoy 10, 20, 25, or 30 years from now.

 

Market value of our holdings

 
Our non-adjusted stock holdings market value increased from $111,297.56 to $115,926.73 last week.

However, we still expect the value of our holdings to grow and outperform the market long term. Many positions in our portfolio are new and “young” and they did not have enough time to show gains yet. We were building cash reserves to buy depressed stocks during selloffs and corrections as well as negative analysts reports (as long as the company is still good long term).

 
Stock holdings week 41
 

Our goal is to accumulate 100 shares of each stock of our interest and we are getting to that goal.
 

Investing and trading ROI

 

Our options trading delivered a 5.85% monthly ROI in October 2021, totaling a 50.73% ROI YTD. We again exceeded our 45% annual revenue selling options against dividend stocks target!

Our account grew by 333.89% beating our projections and the market.
 

Our options trading averaged $4,528.60 per month this year. If this trend continues, we are on track to make $54,343.20 trading options in 2021. As of today, we have made $45,286.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

This week, we didn’t adjust any SPX trades. Our goal is to reach a level that we will be eligible for portfolio margin (PM). Once that happens, we plan on converting the existing SPX Iron Condors to strangles and trade these positions as strangles.

With RegT margin, the capital requirements would be approx. $66,586.06 and that is beyond our means. With PM the requirement for margin would drop to around $10k. That is doable in our account. Once we reach this level, we will start adjusting our SPX trades accordingly. Until then, we will just roll these trades around.

 

Accumulating Growth Stocks

 

Last week we have added shares of SSO and SPXL to our holdings according to our plan and rules. Our goal for the nearest future is to accumulate 25% of our net-liq in these shares and maintain the weight. If the weight goes above 25% we will start trimming the positions, and when the weight goes below 25% we will start accumulating the positions. Any leftovers will be reinvested to the dividend growth stocks, options trades, or reserves.

 

Accumulating Rules

 

Our rule is to buy shares of growth stocks using 20% of any BP value that is above the $3,000 limit. For example, if our BP ends at $3,900, we can buy shares using 20% of $900 or $180 to accumulate shares of any growth stocks.

Why such a rule? Up to today, I was scaling up my trades and portfolio. That resulted in rapid growth but also all our proceeds were constantly locked in the trades. If we want to live off of our dividends and options income, we cannot have them locked by new trades. We need to start accumulating “cash available to withdraw”. Therefore, I am shifting my trading to trade the same amount of contracts and invest only a certain excess of the accumulated cash.

 

Accumulating Dividend Growth Stocks

 

Last week, we added shares of VICI and accumulated 100 shares. That means we accomplished our accumulation goal in this stock and we will now move to accumulate a different stock (possibly The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) or Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA)).

Our goal is to reach 100 shares of high-quality dividend stocks and build a weekly dividend income as per this calendar, but we have made no changes to this goal last week:

Market Outlook

 

In our previous post on this blog, we speculated whether selling was over and it was time to buy the dip again. We also indicated that the market started creating a new higher low (HL) and although it was still questionable, Friday’s follow-through confirmed the trend. This is what we posted before:
 

 
Abd this is what happened on Thursday and Friday:

We may see some bouncing around but it is my opinion that this market is heading to a new all-time high.

Last week, S&P 500 grew 54.57% since we opened our portfolio while our portfolio grew 26.84%. On YTD basis, the S&P 500 grew 24.73% and our portfolio 19.86%.

But the numbers above apply to our stock holdings in our account, not the overall account net-liq growth. Our overall account beats the market growing by 333.89%!
 

Stock holdings Growth YTD

 
TW Account holdings Growth YTD
 

I expect our stock holdings to start outperforming the market as they mature. However, these are just our stock holdings. The entire portfolio beats the market by far thanks to monetizing those positions.

Our 10-year goal is to grow this account to $1,000,000.00 value in ten years. We are in year two and we accomplished 8.93% of that goal.

Our 6-year goal is to reach $175,000 account value to be eligible for portfolio margin (PM) and today we accomplished 51.01% of that goal.

Our 2021 year goal is to grow this account to a $42,344.00. We already accomplished this goal.

Our account cumulative return

 

The chart below indicates our cumulative adjusted return. It shows how the last week’s selloff shook down our returns but we are recovering along with the market.

As of today, our account cumulative return is 48.24% (note, data in this section are since March 13, 2021, only as that is the date we started tracking these metrics. Thus the results are skewed a bit and will show full picture next year.).

 

Conclusion of our investing and trading report

 

This week our options trading was within our expectations and I believe, the rest of the month will be even better.

We will continue accumulating the dividend growth stocks in our portfolio to reach 100 shares and continue building our cash reserves so we have enough cash to sustain any market corrections and be able to buy depressed stocks.

We will report our next week’s results next Saturday. Until then, good luck and good trading!
