2022 Week 20 investing and trading report

Trading and investing this year were a disaster so far. I think this was the worst year and worst decline I have experienced. The Covid plunge? No problem, I could manage the portfolio well and made tons of money. 2018 decline? Not a problem. Yes, I felt the pressure, but I think today, it is worse. 208-2009? I don’t think I experienced the same pressure as today.

It is not that the markets were that bad. Overall, S&P500 barely reached the bear market threshold. But it is the slow decline and depth at which some stocks fell this year. Many high-quality dividend stocks are 30% or more down. And some tech stocks I decided to accumulate in 2021 are 80% or more down. I do not remember this to be happening to my portfolio before. Overall, I am down almost $30,000, and not sure when this carnage stops. Even bonds I bought in my HFEA strategy didn’t protect my portfolio as bonds crumbled more than many of my stocks. There was nowhere to hide.

But I am holding all my shares and try buying when my buying power allows (which is difficult now as my margin requirements are high. I have $60,000 in cash but I cannot use it because the broker blocks it as margin maintenance. And my net-liq is down to $77,000. I have $60,000 cash and $77,000 net liq. Something is not adding up here.

Last week, I was in a defensive mode defending open positions. Options trading was mostly for debit and we lost another -$1,605.00 rolling those trades.

Our Net-liq also dropped significantly by -11.68% last week and overall account is down -26.04% YTD. I hope, that when the market reverses and starts trading up again, this will change. I have not taken any physical losses by closing any stock positions. I hold them all and keep selling covered calls. My options trades were rolled, and they show a realized loss but unrealized gain at the same time. I expect the unrealized gain to move to realized gains once the market changes and the trades will be closed as winners. Until then, we wait and protect the portfolio even for debit. It will change soon.

Dividend Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we have received $193.72 in dividends bringing our May’s dividend income at $220.20.

Last week, we have not purchased any dividend stock.

 

 

I wish I could buy more stocks but my buying power is so depressed that I have to wait for my broker to start releasing the margin and my cash. It should start happening shortly.

Here you can see our dividend income per stock holding:

Last week we bought the following growth stocks and funds:
 

 

  • 1 share of SPXL @ $84.02

     

Options Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we rolled our strangle trades to keep our account safe. Some of those rolls could have been avoided if I had enough cash reserves.

However, these adjustments delivered a loss of -$1,605.00 making our May options income -$6,826.00.

 

We were actively trading our SPX strategy that delivered $185.00 gain.

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 $193.72 in dividends last week. Our portfolio currently yields 5.89% at $77,399.40 market value.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $65,963.99 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 $5,883.34 annual dividend income ($490.28 monthly income). We are 8.92%% of our 10 year goal of $65,963.99 dividend income.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 20
 

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 $135,128.05 to $132,071.97 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. We continued rebalancing our options trades that released buying power significantly. That allowed us to start buying shares of our interest again.

 
Stock holdings trading week 20
 

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 planned on reinvesting all dividends back into those holdings.
 

Investing and trading ROI

 

Our options trading delivered a -8.82% monthly ROI in May 2022, totaling a 14.80% ROI YTD. We hope that in 2022 we exceed our 45% annual revenue selling options against dividend stocks target, although as of today, we are getting way behind this goal and it seems we will not achieve it at all.

Our entire account is down -26.04%.
 

Our options trading averaged $2,290.60 per month this year. If this trend continues, we are on track to make $27,487.20 trading options in 2022. As of today, we have made $11,453.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

Last week we have not adjusted any of our old trades. The market is playing with me. When all the ods looked good and I had a chance to get rid of one bad trade, the market tanked ruining my chance to improve the position. Now I am back at the beginning of my attempt to fix the old trade.

We however traded our SPX put credit spread strategy which you will be able to review in my next report. The SPX strategy held well so far, and our signals kept us away from opening new aggressive trades.

The numbers above apply to our stock holdings only. Our overall account net-liq is down by -26.04% this year thanks to our options strategies that generated enough income to stay up a bit.

Our account cumulative return

 

The chart below indicates our cumulative adjusted return since we started tracking this metric.

As of today, our account overall cumulative return is -30.53% (note, data in this section are since March 13, 2021, only as that is the date we started tracking these metrics). Our 2022 cumulative return is -52.94%. That means we erased the entire 2021 revenue. That is a horrible result. But I am optimistic. As I mentioned above, the results are temporary as we are rolling our trades and these rolls cause realized losses while we have open unrealized gains. Once the open trades end (when this horrible market finally calms down), the gains will offset the losses.
