Last week was truly bad. Our net-liquidating value got hit hard, partially because of buying beaten-down tech stocks like PayPal, Tesla, or Netflix and they got beaten again. But it is a temporary drawdown of our investing and trading and I expect it to recover when the market stops freaking about interest rates and Ukraine. Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 06
Last week’s market was horrible. The new rally was rejected and the markets lost yet our SPX strategy gained. The gain is however in danger if this market continues freaking out about already known things (nothing that sent the market down was unknown). If the market continues lower, we will be adding call spreads and Continue reading →

2022 Week 04 investing and trading report
The first week of February was a week of recovery. The stock market bounced from the lows and our investing and trading bounced up too. At the end of the week, we saw a pullback that had an impact on our stocks too, but overall, we performed well. If the stock continues higher next week, Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 05
The market is truly treacherous as some people out there say. The SPX went down hard just to be bought back the same day and erased all previous losses. Trading in this environment is extremely difficult. That’s why I am happy to have my strategy trading SPX credit spreads. It is based on combining several Continue reading →

January 2022 $100 Challenge account review
January 2022 was a rout and our account got hammered by volatility. It is an unfortunate result of trading a small account. Our challenge account is now underperforming SPX and our goal. But I see it positively in the near future. Accumulation phase The account is underperforming our goal but it is on Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 04
January 2022 is over and our SPX strategy once again outperformed the market. The market was horrible last week, full of volatile zig-zag moving and losses. However, it seems that the market found support at the $4,315 level. If it holds we may see the market moving up and that would prop our SPX strategy Continue reading →

2022 Week 03 investing and trading report
Last week the SPX went on a crazy downhill. At first, trading was calm but then it sped up and everybody was selling like crazy. Panic was the investment strategy. And who panicked first was the winner (sarcasm). The initial catalyst for selling was the FED raising the rates surprisingly more than expected. But seriously, Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 03
What a week! And a month! SPX got hammered though not as much as Nasdaq. We are in a stage where investors are dumping everything now. Even good quality stocks. I guess margin calls are hitting them hard so they have to liquidate even good holdings in their portfolios. Last two weeks, I was rolling, Continue reading →

2022 Week 02 investing and trading report
The market keeps its choppy trading on fears. Investors are getting rid of the high multiple stocks and with the bathwater, they are pouring out the baby too. The selling had an impact on our net-liq although not as bad as the prior week. Our options trading increased slightly too as we were rebalancing our Continue reading →
