Bear market is over

Yes, this bear market is over despite what the talking heads and other morons will try to tell you. Six months of selling and extreme bearishness is enough. Why? Despite the high inflation, which is, by the way, going down, supply chain issues that are improving, and a war in Ukraine, which is stalling, the Continue reading →

2022 Week 28 investing and trading report

Last week the stock market eased on the selling pressure, and we were able to increase positions in some of the beaten-down stocks and resume trading and not just adjust the old trades. If this trend continues, I expect even better trading results in the year’s second half. I added more stocks last week, resumed Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 28

Our SPX trading started improving significantly. Our measures of opening box trades delivered enough credits in the past few weeks to offset trades that were deep in trouble.

June 2022 $100 Challenge account review

The stock market is still in a bear market and has high volatility. That is why we are accumulating stocks right now and do not trade options.

2022 Week 26 investing and trading report

June 2022 is over and the first half of the year with it. It was a horrible half of the year for trading. Even the 2020 slump was better than this. But I look at it positively and keep investing in good quality stocks as much as my buying power allows. I suspended trading risky Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 26

I was aggressively adjusting my SPX trades last week. I was using a “box” trade strategy to generate income and then used that income to roll the trades that were in the money. So far, this is the best way I could come up with to fix bad trades. I hate taking losses so unlike Continue reading →
