2022 Week 12 investing and trading report


The stock market and our trading performed well last week. I am still managing old trades as the damage from the last two months of selling is still present and I have too much buying power tied to those open trades. But it is getting better every day. I keep investing in high-quality dividend stocks and getting ready for more upside.

Last week, we finally made some money trading options. In the previous weeks, I had to roll some trades for debit. That ended last week and the rolls are now credit trades again. But my portfolio is still stretched.

 

Here is our investing and trading report:

Dividend Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we have received $6.87 in dividends bringing March’s dividend income to $269.69.

Last week, we have not purchased any dividend stock.

 

Here you can see our dividend income per stock holding:

Last week, we have not purchased any growth stocks.

 

Options Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we rolled our strangle trades to keep our account safe.

These adjustments delivered income of $503.00 lowering our March total loss to -$2,614.00.

 

We were actively trading our SPX strategy that delivered $165.00 gain.

You can watch all our trades in this spreadsheet. You can watch the spreadsheet and look for a “NEW” indication next to the trading date. When the indicator shows up, it is typically good for up to 3 days to follow that trade.
 

Expected Future Dividend Income

 
We have received $6.87 in dividends last week. Our portfolio currently yields 5.42% at $105,015.51 market value.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $31,617.59 but that projection is if we do absolutely nothing and let our positions grow on their own without adding new positions or reinvesting the dividends.

We are also set to receive a $5,689.60 annual dividend income ($474.13 monthly income). We are 18.00% of our 10 year goal of $31,617.59 dividend income.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 12
 

The chart above shows how our future dividend income is based on the future yield on cost and what dividend income we may expect in the future. The expected dividend growth depends on what stocks we are adding to our portfolio and the stocks’ 3 years average dividend growth rate. It is interesting to see what passive income we may enjoy 10, 20, 25, or 30 years from now.

 

Market value of our holdings

 
Our non-adjusted stock holdings market value increased from $150,126.50 to $152,482.70 last week.

In 2022 we plan on accumulating dividend stocks, monetizing these positions, HFEA strategy, and SPX trading. We plan on raising more of our holdings to 100 shares so we can start selling covered calls. We continued rebalancing our options trades that released buying power significantly. That allowed us to start buying shares of our interest again.

 
Stock holdings trading week 12
 

Our goal is to accumulate 100 shares of dividend growth stocks we liked and then start selling covered calls or strangles around those positions. We also planned on reinvesting all dividends back to those holdings.
 

Investing and trading ROI

 

Our options trading delivered a -2.49% monthly ROI in March 2022, totaling a 15.50% ROI YTD. We hope that in 2022 we exceed our 45% annual revenue selling options against dividend stocks target, although as of today, we are getting behind this goal.

Our entire account is up 0.35%.
 

Our options trading averaged $5,426.67 per month this year. If this trend continues, we are on track to make $65,120.00 trading options in 2022. As of today, we have made $16,280.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

This week, we have not adjusted any of the old trades. We adjusted a trade a week ago and it appears to be playout out well. I hope, it will end in our favor and we will be able to get rid of that trade.

We however traded our SPX put credit spread strategy which you will be able to review in my next report. The SPX strategy held well so far, and our signals kept us away from opening new trades.

 

Market Outlook

 

The stock market returned 1.79% last week and it is poised for more gains next week.

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 12


My last week’s SPX trading was slow. I was traveling and mostly managing the trades only. I opened only a few new trades but watched old trades expire or closed for target profit.

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished up by +2.41% while SPX was up +1.79%. Our overall SPX account is up +95.05% since the beginning of this program. However, we still have -$3,520 in unrealized losses. At some point we will have to work hard to offset those losses.
 

Initial trade set ups

 

For my SPX strategy, I dedicated a $3,600 initial amount that will be used to trade SPX PCS strategy per week. If this amount is depleted, I will evaluate the strategy to determine whether to continue or change it. If I grow this amount, I will scale up the trading.
 

WHAT WILL WE TRADE?    
DAY DTE TYPE
MONDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
TUESDAY 30 DTE Put Credit Spread
WEDNESDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
FRIDAY 60 DTE Put Credit Spread
EVERY MONTH 120 DTE Put Debit Spread – HEDGE

 

Last week trading

 

Overall, the strategy resulted in a $165.00 gain last week. Note that the gain might be unrealized as some or all trades may be still open.
 

Initial account value (since inception: 12/07/2021): $3,600.00
Last week beginning value: $6,856.95
Last week ending value: $7,021.95 (2.41%; total: +95.05%)
The highest capital requirements to trade this strategy: $19,160
Unrealized Gain: -$3,520 (-20.77%)
Realized Gain: $6,827 (+40.29%)
Total Gain: $3,307 (+19.52%)

Our SPX net-liq dropped last week. If the market is back to normal (hope) then I expect this to be a temporary loss and the account will grow again.

However, comparing the account with SPX net-liq, we are still outperforming this horrible market.

It is evident that the stock market has resumed its recovery and it will be going higher from now on no matter what the bears wish for. It can be a bit choppy ride but it will be a ride up until we hit a wall again. But if so, that wall will only be a temporary break from the rally, little rest shaking out weak hands, and rally continuation afterward. I expect this strategy to perform great in this upcoming market.

2022 Week 11 investing and trading report


A huge reversal in the market or just a noise that will impact our trading more than I would think? This choppy market has already taken a toll on my options income! In order to keep my account in green, I had to roll many options trades for debit and I hate it! Nevertheless, our account improved significantly and our net-liq jumped back up to above $100k. Still down from what it ended in 2021 but a positive development. I hope it will stay like that from no on.

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 11


The stock market staged a three days rally when SPX reached 200-day MA at $4,468 level. Is this a reversal or just a violent relief bounce rally before we reverse down again? I think, what we are seeing is a reversal. The FED finally raised the interest rates (and if you are subscribed to my newsletter, I was saying for a while that this can be a strong bullish event), so this fear is behind us. Now we only face a fear of the war in Ukraine but that is also becoming old news and investor will start ignoring it soon. So, this can be a trend reversal.

Unfortunately, I opened a trade that ended up a costly mistake. I had to roll the trade on Friday and take a loss on it without having a chance to offset it. I guess I will have a chance to offset the costs later and hopefully next week.

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished down by -17.50% while SPX was up 6.16%. Our overall SPX account is up +90.47% since the beginning of this program. However, we still have -$3,055 in unrealized losses. At some point we will have to work hard to offset those losses.
 

Initial trade set ups

 

For my SPX strategy, I dedicated a $3,600 initial amount that will be used to trade SPX PCS strategy per week. If this amount is depleted, I will evaluate the strategy to determine whether to continue or change it. If I grow this amount, I will scale up the trading.

MONDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
TUESDAY 30 DTE Put Credit Spread
WEDNESDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
FRIDAY 60 DTE Put Credit Spread
EVERY MONTH 120 DTE Put Debit Spread – HEDGE

 

Last week trading

 

In the past few weeks, we opened a few call spreads to offset the losses on the put rolls. Now, with this strong 6% rally, these calls are hurting us. In order to make money, we need steady growth, not the crazy moves we witnessed recently. But, it will stabilize.

Overall, the strategy resulted in a -$1,455.00 loss last week. Note that the gain might be unrealized as some or all trades may be still open.
 

Initial account value (since inception: 12/07/2021): $3,600.00
Last week beginning value: $8,311.95
Last week ending value: $6,856.95 (-17.50%; total: +90.47%)

Realized Gain: $6,197 (+37.60%)
Total Gain: $3,142 (+19.07%)

We need to wait for the next week to see if the bottom has happened or more pain is coming. If this horrible market is at the end and a new rally is coming, our strategy will perform great. Our trading signals are all positive (strong positive) so unless we see some catastrophic decline next week, we should perform great from now on.

2022 Week 10 investing and trading report


Last week was horrible in the market and it affected our trading negatively. We had to roll many trades for debit to stay safe and it had a negative impact on our options trading. However, we added stocks to our portfolio despite the terrible market performance as I believe, the market is near the bottom and it is time to start slowly adding shares of beaten-down stocks.

Last week we lost -$936.00 trading options, our second week of losing premiums, and our net-liq dropped down significantly by -$6,785.92 or -7.54% from last week. That is a painful drawdown. But that is the nature of trading naked options. Despite the bleak performance, I am optimistic. The losses are on paper only and created by terribly high implied volatility. I hold over $54k in cash (currently blocked by the trades but as the volatility drops, this cash will be released). Here is just a small example of high volatility in stocks in our portfolio. This volatility beats down our stock holdings positions as well as options trades:

 
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
Implied volatility
 

And these are just small examples of stocks that display the implied volatility in the high 60s, 70s, 80s, and some even 90s. This has a huge impact on our net-liquidation value.

Dividend Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we have received $27.26 in dividends bringing March’s dividend income to $202.88.

Growth stocks Investing and Trading Report

 

Last week we bought the following growth stocks and funds:
 

  • 5 shares of SNOW @ $194.69
  • 25 shares of SPXL @ $98.62

We are adding shares of SPXL to boost our potential growth once the market reverses (I do not believe we will be in any extensively prolonged bear market, and even if we will, I still will be adding shares of this leveraged ETF to capture as much potential future upside as possible). When I started adding SPXL to my portfolio, the ETF was trading at $130 a share. Today, I added shares at $98 a share. Returning back to $130 a share in the future gives me a 33% upside potential. And on top of it, once I reach 100 shares, I will start selling covered calls against this position.
 

Options Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we rolled our strangle trades to keep our account safe. That raised cash and buying power but the trades were mostly debit trades in lieu of credit.

These adjustments lost income of -$936.00 bringing March total to -$1,972.00.

 

We were actively trading our SPX strategy that delivered $730.00 weekly gain.

You can watch all our trades in this spreadsheet. You can watch the spreadsheet and look for a “NEW” indication next to the trading date. When the indicator shows up, it is typically good for up to 3 days to follow that trade.
 

Expected Future Dividend Income

 
We have received $27.26 in dividends last week. Our portfolio currently yields 5.73% at $89,978.71 market value.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $33,966.66 but that projection is if we do absolutely nothing and let our positions grow on their own without adding new positions or reinvesting the dividends.

We are also set to receive a $5,681.68 annual dividend income ($473.47 monthly income). We are 16.73% of our 10 year goal of $33,966.66 dividend income.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 10
 

The chart above shows how our future dividend income is based on the future yield on cost and what dividend income we may expect in the future. The expected dividend growth depends on what stocks we are adding to our portfolio and the stocks’ 3 years average dividend growth rate. It is interesting to see what passive income we may enjoy 10, 20, 25, or 30 years from now.

 

Market value of our holdings

 
Our non-adjusted stock holdings market value decreased from $138,871.30 to $138,190.73 last week.

In 2022 we plan on accumulating dividend stocks, monetizing these positions, HFEA strategy, and SPX trading. We plan on raising more of our holdings to 100 shares so we can start selling covered calls. We continued rebalancing our options trades that released buying power significantly. That allowed us to start buying shares of our interest again.

 
Stock holdings trading week 10
 

Our goal is to accumulate 100 shares of dividend growth stocks we liked and then start selling covered calls or strangles around those positions. We also planed on reinvesting all dividends back to those holdings.
 

Investing and trading ROI

 

Our options trading delivered a -2.19% monthly ROI in March 2022, totaling a 18.81% ROI YTD. We hope that in 2022 we exceed our 45% annual revenue selling options against dividend stocks target, although as of today, we are getting behind this goal.

Our entire account is down -14.01%.
 

Our options trading averaged $5,640.67 per month this year. If this trend continues, we are on track to make $67,688.00 trading options in 2022. As of today, we have made $16,922.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

This week, we have not adjusted any of the old trades. We adjusted a trade a week ago and it appears to be playout out well. I hope, it will end in our favor and we will be able to get rid of that trade.

We however traded our SPX put credit spread strategy which you will be able to review in my next report. The SPX strategy held well so far, and our signals kept us away from opening new trades.

 

Market Outlook

 

The stock market is still rattled by the war in Ukraine and inflation. None will have a long-term impact. It will pass one day and all these people who were selling last week will be chasing the stocks buying back into their positions. We had support at $4,240 that was breached early last week. Then a strong rally brought us back above that support but on Thursday and Friday the market lost it again and we closed below.

 

SPX trading 10

 
From a technical perspective, the chart is still broken and shows no signs of improvement. I expect more selling next week unless we get some good news to rally upon. One upside catalyst may be FED raising the rates that could calm the markets or positive development in Ukraine. That is the biggest bogus influence on the market in my opinion. I do not support the war, and it is horrible what Putin is doing and he must be stopped, but the market’s reaction on the potential impact of Russian sanctions is overblown. I will explain this more in our newsletter.

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 10


Despite horrible market performance last week, our SPX trading did well. Although I wouldn’t trumpet a victory here yet as we have plenty of underwater trades that we are managing (pretty much just pushing them away until the market improves), these trades can give us a hard time and increase losses. For now, we just roll the trade away and provide an offsetting call spread, but at some point in the future, we will have to start unwinding the calls and start adding puts to offset the bad trades. That will require a lot of capital. So, as of today, we are in a cash preservation mode and just rolling or adjusting the trades or letting them expire.

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished up by 9.63% while SPX was down -2.88%. Our overall SPX account is up +130.89% since the beginning of this program. However, we still have -$490 in unrealized losses. At some point we will have to work hard to offset those losses.
 

Initial trade set ups

 

For my SPX strategy, I dedicated a $3,600 initial amount that will be used to trade SPX PCS strategy per week. If this amount is depleted, I will evaluate the strategy to determine whether to continue or change it. If I grow this amount, I will scale up the trading.
 

WHAT WILL WE TRADE?    
DAY DTE TYPE
MONDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
TUESDAY 30 DTE Put Credit Spread
WEDNESDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
FRIDAY 60 DTE Put Credit Spread
EVERY MONTH 120 DTE Put Debit Spread – HEDGE

 

Last week trading

 

As I mentioned above, we were just managing our open trades by adding calls to the puts (converting the trades into Iron Condors) or rolling the trades around. Most of the time our effort was successful.

Here are our delayed open trades:
 

SPX PCS delayed trades week 10
SPX PCS delayed trades
 

The trades are two weeks delayed. If you want to see the most recent trades or receive alerts, subscribe to our SPX alerts.
 

Overall, the strategy resulted in a $730.00 gain last week. Note that the gain might be unrealized as some or all trades may be still open.
 

Initial account value (since inception: 12/07/2021): $3,600.00
Last week beginning value: $7,581.95
Last week ending value: $8,311.95 (+9.63%; total: +130.89%)
The highest capital requirements to trade this strategy: $19,160
Unrealized Gain: -$490 (-2.74%)
Realized Gain: $5,067 (+28.28%)
Total Gain: $4,577 (+25.55%)

 

SPX PCS account value

Our SPX net-liq increased a bit last week. I consider it a good result since the market is volatile and non-trending, well, it is trending but the trend is choppy and weak.

However, comparing the account with SPX net-liq, we are still outperforming this horrible market.

I believe, the end of this messy market is near. We still may see more pain coming in the short term, but we are near the bottom. When the market reverses and the bulls return back, I can see this strategy to be even more profitable.

2022 Week 09 investing and trading report


Another choppy week for our trading and investing. It is becoming frustrating to see the markets going up one day and down the very next day.

Market Outlook

 

The stock market is range-bound in a short sideways range. It however held above the $4,240 support. Unfortunately, it is still in a bearish downward sloping trend and as of today, there is no sign of improvement. The SPX is short-term bearish and I expect more selling to come.

 

SPX trading 09

 
The outlook is unchanged from the previous view. The SPX has a long way to go to improve the chart. We need to see a breakout above the trend and above 200-day MA to be bullish again.

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 09


Despite the market volatility our SPX PCS and CCS strategy performed well. We were building cash income to offset the rolling of our put trades and that worked well so far. A few of our trades expired for a profit, some trades were losing ones but we generated enough income to cover those losses.

Last week, we recovered a significant portion of our previous losing weeek. Our SPX PCS strategy finished the week up by 6.01% while SPX was down -1.27%. Our overall SPX account is up +110.61% since the beginning of this program. However, unlike in previous weeks, we now have about $655 in unrealized losses. And that could give us some headwinds in the coming weeks. If however, the market will rally from now on, we will be able to offset these losses quickly.
 

Initial trade set ups

 

For my SPX strategy, I dedicated a $3,600 initial amount that will be used to trade SPX PCS strategy per week. If this amount is depleted, I will evaluate the strategy to determine whether to continue or change it. If I grow this amount, I will scale up the trading.

February 2022 $100 Challenge account review


February 2022 and the beginning of March were not good for our Challenge account. Extreme volatility made options so expensive along with increased margin requirements, we no longer could maintain our positions and we closed them for a loss. We need to build equity first.
 

Accumulation phase

 
The account is underperforming our goal. We will be investing in building equity positions first and wheeling the positions in March and subsequent months.

When trading naked options, expect volatility in your net-liq. That can be seen by some as a disadvantage. When trading spreads, your net-liq will be stabilized by neutralizing delta. With naked options, you would have to choose other instruments to do so, for example owning stocks to neutralize your call side. We do not have this yet as our account is small, but we are building our position.

2022 Week 08 investing and trading report


Last week, the markets trading staged a big reversal, perfectly according to “sell the rumor, buy the news”. When Russians attacked Ukraine, markets finally rallied (no matter how cynical it is). Unfortunately, these large swings gave us hard time because, first, we had to roll our trades down, and after a strong reversal, we had to roll everything back up. Crazy week!

But these rolls made us $1,787.00 of options premiums that helped our Net-liq hold steady.
 

Here is our investing and trading report:

Dividend Investing and Trading Report

 

Last week we have not received any dividends. Our dividend income for the entire month of February is still at $547.35 beating our expectations.

Last week, we bought the following dividend growth stocks:
 

  • 10 shares of BAC @ $45.76
  • 20 shares of CSQ @ $16.75
     

Here you can see our dividend income per stock holding:

Growth stocks Investing and Trading Report

 

Last week we bought the following growth stocks and funds:
 

  • 10 shares of TMUS @ $121.95

 

Options Investing and Trading Report

 
Last week we rolled our strangle trades to keep our account safe. That raised cash and buying power.

These adjustments delivered an income of $1,787.00 bringing February total to $9,866.00.

 

We were actively trading our SPX strategy that delivered -$530.05 weekly loss.

You can watch all our trades in this spreadsheet. You can watch the spreadsheet and look for a “NEW” indication next to the trading date. When the indicator shows up, it is typically good for up to 3 days to follow that trade.
 

Expected Future Dividend Income

 
We have received no dividends last week. Our portfolio currently yields 5.67% at $101,648.56 market value.

 
Our projected annual dividend income in 10 years is $37,138.44 but that projection is if we do absolutely nothing and let our positions grow on their own without adding new positions or reinvesting the dividends.

We are also set to receive a $5,748.79 annual dividend income ($479.07 monthly income). We are 15.48% of our 10 year goal of $37,138.44 dividend income.

 
Future Divi on YOC week 08
 

The chart above shows how our future dividend income is based on the future yield on cost and what dividend income we may expect in the future. The expected dividend growth depends on what stocks we are adding to our portfolio and the stocks’ 3 years average dividend growth rate. It is interesting to see what passive income we may enjoy 10, 20, 25, or 30 years from now.

 

Market value of our holdings

 
Our non-adjusted stock holdings market value increased from $152,457.86 to $154,563.70 last week.

In 2022 we plan on accumulating dividend stocks, monetizing these positions, HFEA strategy, and SPX trading. We plan on raising more of our holdings to 100 shares so we can start selling covered calls. We continued rebalancing our options trades that released buying power significantly. That allowed us to start buying shares of our interest again.

 
Stock holdings trading week 08
 

Our goal is to accumulate 100 shares of dividend growth stocks we liked and then start selling covered calls or strangles around those positions. We also planed on reinvesting all dividends back to those holdings.
 

Investing and trading ROI

 

Our options trading delivered a 9.71% monthly ROI in February 2022, totaling a 18.45% ROI YTD. We hope that in 2022 we exceed our 45% annual revenue selling options against dividend stocks target!

Our entire account is down -2.86%.
 

Our options trading averaged $9,375.50 per month this year. If this trend continues, we are on track to make $112,506.00 trading options in 2022. As of today, we have made $18,751.00 trading options.
 

Old SPX trades repair

 

This week, we have not adjusted any of the old trades. We adjusted a trade a week ago and it appears to be playout out well. I hope, it will end in our favor and we will be able to get rid of that trade.

We however traded our SPX put credit spread strategy which you will be able to review in my next report. The SPX strategy held well so far, and our signals kept us away from opening new trades.

 

Market Outlook

 

The stock market staged a strong reversal on Thursday after Russia attacked Ukraine and the Western countries imposed sanctions on the country and Putin. Then Putin announced his willingness to negotiate and markets rallied even more on Friday.

As I mentioned last week in our newsletter, we could see two potential price actions. Either break through the support and continuation down, or the support would hold and we would rally. On Thursday, the futures and later the market dropped significantly below the support and it all looked like we were doomed. Then algos and buyers stepped in and pushed the market up and it closed above the support. On Friday, we saw a continuation that could be considered a confirmation.

 

SPX trading 08

 
We now need to wait and see what would happen next. Many people say that the FED would sink the market again and even lower, but I think the interest rates are already priced in and the markets typically rally after the first interest hike. So, it is my view that when the FED raises the rates next month, the market will rally hard again.

Last week, S&P 500 grew 51.48% since we opened our portfolio while our portfolio grew 20.01%. On YTD basis, the S&P 500 fell -13.28% and our portfolio -9.76%. This clearly indicates that our stock holdings performed better than the market.

The numbers above apply to our stock holdings only. Our overall account net-liq is up by -2.86% this year thanks to our options strategies that generated enough income to stay up a bit.
