As bears are trying to push their gloom and doom agenda, predicting the end of the world, our trading and investing did really well this month. We collected over $16k in options premiums. Even our dividend income exceeded my expectations as we collected over $800 this month. I am satisfied with the results. I still Continue reading →



March 2023 $100 Challenge account review
We didn’t trade much during this turmoil of the banking crisis, recession fear, and end-of-the-world imminency. Rather we preserved the cash. Remember, our account is still small and we cannot take risky trades (we did two times and it backfired, but we have time on our side). Also during the recent sharp market selloff (chart Continue reading →
March 2023 HFEA strategy report
February and March 2023 are in the books and our HFEA strategy is set to improve. It is still mediocre despite our leveraged ETF rallying. But we have covered call options against our positions and now these calls are hurting that position now. But I believe, this is just a temporary setback and we will Continue reading →
March 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review
February and March SPX trading improved well. We were actively trading our SPX strategy which delivered a $3,971.00 gain. Many of our trades got slammed in 2022 and instead of closing these trades for pretty large losses, I decided to use a rather unorthodox strategy. Many people will probably disagree with me and despise it Continue reading →
March 2023 Investing and Trading Report
March is over. And our Investing and Trading are beginning to see improvement again after the bear market of 2022. People still do not believe that the bear is over and keep creeping all over social media how much we are going to crash soon, TV shows pull out from their asses doomers like Roubini Continue reading →
February 2023 Investing and Trading Report
Our February investing and trading were successful. We made decent options income selling premiums, we received record monthly dividends, and we purchased more dividend-paying stocks. Our account is growing and it was growing even during the recent pullback. Our NetLiq-cash-buying power ratio improved with the market, but it is still vulnerable to market declines. I Continue reading →
January 2023 $100 Challenge account review
We were selling spreads successfully last month, but we entered a TSLA call spread right before investors started chasing the stock up again. We are now rolling the trade higher, and hopefully, we will be able to get out of the trade. I think a 70%+ run-up is not justified, and we may see a Continue reading →
January 2023 HFEA strategy report
New Year’s first month is over, and the leveraged strategy (I still call it HFEA, although it no longer is the strategy) is slowly declining but outperforming SPX; see the charts below. I expect this strategy to perform better when the market improves. Initially, I dedicated $15,000 to this strategy. That represented approx 15% of Continue reading →
January 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review
The last trading month was rolling trades and adjusting the old ones only. We were not opening any new trades at this point. We had many trades that we rolled, and we do not want to add more risk until the old trades are fixed. We use “box” spreads to collect credit and use that Continue reading →
January 2023 Investing and Trading Report
I decided to post my monthly investing and trading reports instead of weekly ones. It is too much time-consuming writing about my investments every week, mainly when I also write a newsletter and do research for it. That takes a lot of time. January 2023 was a good month when our portfolio recovered many 2022 Continue reading →
