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 am optimistic and once the market calms down, the account will be going up again. Why? Because although the account lost net-liq value, we still made over $3k in options trading and great dividend income! The value is depressed because of the violent panic in the market.

We bought 20 shares of RYLD.

Here you can see our dividend income per stock holding:

Growth stocks Investing and Trading Report

 

Last week we didn’t buy any new positions in growth stocks.

 

Options Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we rolled many strangle trades to keep our account safe. Each time the stock moved up or down towards one or the other strike price, it consumed our buying power. Rolling the trade to the center of our strangle, we brought in credit and released buying power.

These adjustments delivered our January income by $3,856.00 bringing January total to $3,856.00.
 

We were actively trading our SPX strategy that delivered $455.00 weekly income.

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 have received $136.25 in dividends last week. Our portfolio currently yields 4.63% at $98,730.94 market value.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $24,305.74 but that projection is if we do absolutely nothing and let our positions grow on their own without adding new positions or reinvesting the dividends.

We are also set to receive a $4,838.36 annual dividend income. We are 19.91% of our 10 year goal of $24,305.74 dividend income.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 01
 

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 decreased from $133,469.78 to $131,541.85 last week.

In 2022 we plan on accumulating dividend stocks, monetizing these positions, HFEA strategy, and SPX trading. We plan on raising more of our holdings to 100 shares so we can start selling covered calls. However, in the first week of January 2022, we couldn’t buy any new shares as the buying power was very volatile and we are raising cash (by letting old trades expire and not reopening them, or closing trades that are almost at a full profit but a long time to expiration – for example, trade has only five cents left but 30 or 40 days to expiration. It makes no sense to wait for $5 for another 30 to 40 days. So, we closed such trades).

 
Stock holdings week 01
 

Our goal is to accumulate 100 shares of dividend growth stocks we liked and then start selling covered calls or strangles around those positions. We also planed on reinvesting all dividends back to those holdings.
 

Investing and trading ROI

 

Our options trading delivered a 3.91% monthly ROI in January 2022, totaling a 3.91% ROI YTD. We hope that in 2022 we exceed our 45% annual revenue selling options against dividend stocks target!

Our entire account is down -5.65% underperforming our projections and the market.
 

Our options trading averaged $3,856.00 per month this year. If this trend continues, we are on track to make $46,272.00 trading options in 2022. As of today, we have made $3,856.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

This week, we didn’t adjust our old SPX trades. Our goal is to reach a level where 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.

We however traded our SPX put credit spread strategy which you will be able to review in my next report.

 

Market Outlook

 

The stock market struggled to break through the $4,800 resistance. It broke above it for a little while but then FED sparked a selloff and the entire market dropped below $4,720 support. However, it seems the selloff is exhausted and we may see some recovery. It is, however, too early to say. Next week can be a good indicator the where the market will go. In the short term, the market is negative and poised for a downturn. In a long term, we are still bullish. I still expect the market to reach $5,000 mark in the next month or two.
