2022 Week 46 investing and trading report

I feel like the markets are easing their bearish stance. They are still extremely volatile and choppy intraday, but we are poised for a rally that may last until the end of this miserable year. Our investing and trading last week reflected this stance. We opened a few small credit spreads against our holdings to monetize our positions. Many of these trades just expired for a full profit last Friday.
 

Our NetLiq-cash-buying power ratio is improving. Not anything extraordinary, though. I am still angry with my broker and how they handle my margin and buying power. I consider it a terrible service when one minute, my BP is up $5,000, and after I open a defined risk trade (like a spread), the margin drops to -$2,000 within a few minutes after opening the trade. Then, they cannot handle multiple open SPX trades and have to manually adjust my buying power (I am on their “manual adjustment list”). But sometimes, they forget to adjust, and I wake up to this:

 
margin
 

With this buying power, I cannot do anything with my trades. I cannot adjust, roll, or even close a trade. I have to contact them and tell them to adjust my buying power. But first, I must go through ridiculous requirements when they tell me to close the trades that cause negative BP. I asked them which trades are causing it (I know there are none, as risk-defined trades like spreads cannot cause this at all). They have no answer. After an hour or so of arguing, they finally realized that they had forgotten to adjust my account. This is not acceptable. Such an account is not tradeable. So I decided to change brokers.

 
Cash - Net-Liq - BP 46
 

Our trading delivered $352.00 premiums last week, ending November 2022 at -$2,634.00 (-4.10%) options income. Our net-liq value decreased by -2.68% to $64,276.32 value. That is still a terrible result. Our overall account is now down -38.58% YTD.

Dividend Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we have received $472.57 in dividends bringing our November’s dividend income at $579.67.

Last week, we did not purchase any dividend stock.

 
Here is a chart of our account equity showing our accumulation goal and the value of all stocks in our account. It shows a nice upward-sloping chart as our equities grow. This is a result of our options trading and using premiums to buy dividend stocks:

And here you can see the dividend income those equities pay us every year:

Growth stocks Investing and Trading Report

 

Last week, we purchased no growth stocks.

 

Options Investing and Trading Report

 

Last week options trading delivered a gain of $352.00 making our November options income -$2,634.00.

 

We were actively trading our SPX strategy that delivered -$622.00 loss.


 

Expected Future Dividend Income

 
We received $472.57 in dividends last week. Our portfolio currently yields 5.53% at $64,276.32 market value.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $135,714.12, but that projection is if we do absolutely nothing and let our positions grow without adding new positions or reinvesting the dividends.

We are also set to receive a $6,890.51 annual dividend income ($574.21 monthly income). We are 5.08% of our 10 year goal of $135,714.12 dividend income.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 46
 

The chart above shows how our future dividend income is based on the future yield on cost and what dividend income we may expect. The expected dividend growth depends on what stocks we add 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 $191,862.25 to $187,943.25 last week.

In 2022 we plan on accumulating dividend stocks, monetizing these positions, HFEA strategy, and SPX trading. We plan to raise more of our holdings to 100 shares to sell covered calls. We continued rebalancing our options trades that released buying power significantly. That allowed us to start repurchasing shares of our interest.

 
Stock holdings trading week 46
 

We aim to accumulate 100 shares of dividend growth stocks we like 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 -4.10% monthly ROI in November 2022, totaling a 89.64% ROI YTD. If our options income stays at this level by the end of the year, we will exceed our 45% annual revenue goal in selling options against dividend stocks.

Our entire account is still down -38.58%.
 

Our options trading averaged $5,238.18 per month this year. If this trend continues, we will make $62,858.18 in trading options in 2022. As of today, we have made $57,620.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

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

Account Net-Liq

 

TW Account trading Net-Liq week 45

This drawdown of our account is extremely discouraging. It’s like all previous gains were all wiped out. But this is just a temporary drawdown. I am not selling any stock positions despite the losses. I will keep buying more shares if possible. I also have losses in my options trades. I am rolling those trades to keep them alive and adjusting them slowly, one by one, until they expire as winners. Then, this terribly-looking chart improves. It will be a long process to get back up, but I am determined.
 

Account Stocks holding

 
TW Account holdings week 46
 

Last week, S&P 500 grew 37.08% since we opened our portfolio while our portfolio grew 13.19%. On YTD basis, the S&P 500 fell -27.68% and our portfolio -16.58%. We are outperforming the market.

The numbers above apply to our stock holdings only.
 

Stock holdings Growth YTD

 
TW Account holdings Growth YTD
 

Our stock holdings are starting to outperform the market. Hopefully, this trend will stay, and we will constantly do better than S&P 500.
 

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 6.43% 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 36.73% of that goal.
 

Our 2022 year goal is to grow this account to a $151,638.03, and today we accomplished 42.39% of this goal.

I am afraid our account is no longer on track to accomplish our 2022 year goal. We may accomplish our dividend and options income goals, but our account balance (Net-Liq) will be down significantly. Of course, if the market finally rallies by the end of the year, it may all change, but if not, we will fail.
