We traded only two SPX trades last week and one SPY butterfly adjustment. That trade may end busted. Maybe, next week I will try to adjust that trade again to squeeze some credit from it, but as of today, the trade might be just a bust. I wanted to adjust that trade to a credit Continue reading →
2022 Week 40 investing and trading report
Last week when the market rallied my account recovered and it went from $52k to over $65k in a day. Then it crashed and I am pretty much back where I started. Because of this extreme volatility and bearishness out there, I didn’t do too much trading last week. But I was buying the SPXL Continue reading →
2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 40
Last week SPX trading started well… and then it all puked again. This is definitely a very difficult time to trade. You can get whipsawed quickly or you adopt a strategy where you maintain the trades and adjust them to stay afloat and eventually a winner in the end. Some traders open a trade, usually Continue reading →
2022 Week 38-39 investing and trading report
I feel like Cathy Woods now. Her ARKK fund lost over 60% this year. My portfolio is down 50%… That is bad for my trading and investing, isn’t it? My stocks are down 18.9% for the year. The rest are losses in options. Am I worried? No. The losses are just on paper as the Continue reading →
2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 38-39
I didn’t have much time to report a trading a week ago as I was traveling. Fortunately, I could manage the trades. When preparing today’s report on our SPX trading, I was surprised to see that I had made money. We delivered enough credit to eventually offset other trades. We will be working on that Continue reading →
September 2022 $100 Challenge account review
The stock market is still in crash mode. For the entire of September, the market lost significantly, and our strategy was losing too. But I am not concerned. We are sitting tight and investing in stocks that will deliver nice dividends while waiting for recovery. This strategy is designed for a small account and today’s Continue reading →
2022 Week 37 investing and trading report
Another bad week for our portfolio. It dropped 12% again last week. But as you will see below, it is just paper losses. I didn’t sell any of my positions and in fact, I bought a few more shares of stocks I want to accumulate. My equity grew higher despite the selloff. So what is Continue reading →
2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 37
Last week was brutal. SPX lost over 4.7% and many of our SPX trades that were bullish are underwater again. I reversed trading to credit call spreads instead and try to manage the open trades by rolling them away and waiting for a better opportunity to manage them. It will be a long process. Continue reading →
Markets puked yesterday, what’s next?
The adage says that past performance is not a guarantee of future results or something like that. But the markets still follow certain patterns that tend to repeat. It is because the markets express human behavior and psychology. Even the algos that react to the events express the humans. Only much faster. They, too, are Continue reading →
Markets puked, should you buy tech stocks?
The markets overreacted to a 0.1% inflation miss and sold off by 4.41% (S&P500, the NASDAQ was even worse: -5.67%). Should we be worried? Will the markets continue down? And is this a good opportunity to buy non-dividend stocks? I like to buy dividend stocks because I get paid while waiting for the stock price Continue reading →
