June – July 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review

I didn’t report June SPX trading as I was busy with other projects. So I am, once again, reporting two months – June and July 2023. As the markets started improving so our trades. We are finally able to eliminate trades that got stuck thanks to the bear market of 2022. And on top of Continue reading →

Technical view: Airbnb, Inc. (ABNB)

  ABNB is in stage #2. The stock just broke above its resistance at $130 a share and rallied hard. The stock is reaching another resistance at $145, and we need to see if it breaks above it but I would assume it would gain momentum and breaks it. The weekly chart shows the breakout Continue reading →

Technical view: Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA)

  WBA is in stage #4. The company reported bad earnings and a gloomy outlook last week. It sold off by 10% immediately. The company announced a closure of 450 locations and earnings was a miss. But not by much. Only by 6.3%. I have seen companies missing by far more. And investors are asking Continue reading →

The market is overbought, again, preservation is the key

The market is now entering a new era. Back in October 2022, when I called the bottom, it was an easy pick. You could pick any tech stock, and today you would be a winner. Yes, the traditional stocks were the laggards, but since then, they have picked up the steam and rallied as well. Continue reading →

Technical view: AbbVie Inc. (ABBV)

  ABBV is in stage #3. The stock is in a sideways move with a slightly downward trend, possibly morphing into stage #4 if the selling continues. As you can see on the weekly chart, the stock was under serious selling pressure during 2018 and 2019 years. Investors were dumping the stock of a fear Continue reading →

I can’t believe that another month is behind us again. It was again a successful month to our investing and trading. We added income from options trading of $3,116.00 but we also added new shares to our portfolio and started consolidating it (finally, we started creating cash reserves which were depleted during 2022 bear market). Continue reading →

Technical view: The AES Corporation (AES)

  AES is in stage #4. The stock reversed sharply, and it is now trading at levels last seen in August 2022. And one would wonder what has happened. In the previous months the stock was rallying hard and reached its previous all-time high just to reverse and drop like a rock. One reason could Continue reading →

Bad breath bad but improving

Last week the markets rallied as I expected but many investors were pointing out that this rally is fake, bear market bounce, and that only a few big tech companies participate in this rally and thus the market is in fact doomed. And they may be somewhat correct but only in one fact – the Continue reading →

April-May 2023 $100 Challenge account review, entering in 3rd year of the program

Our “Challenge account” program finished the second year and we are entering the third year of growing the account from $100 to $75,000. These first two years were extremely challenging. We started the program at the end of 2021 when all was good and great. But then, in 2022 the bear market hit and our Continue reading →
