Aug 17th Trading Log (Updates):
Current Trades: Sold the 50 SPY Sep puts at 11.2, bought 40 AAPL Sep 180 puts at 8.25, bought 2,000 SLB shares at 35.00, bought 30 more AAPL Sep puts at 7.75, bought 10 more BABA calls at 8.5, sold 30 SPY Oct puts at 12.25, sold 50 AAPL 165 puts at 4.5, bought 30 more AAPL Sep puts at 7.7, bought the 50 AAPL 165 puts back at 3.75, and bought the 30 SPY 420 puts back at 10.5 -------- It looks more like a bull market than a bear market rally, although overbought, which suggests SPX above 4,500 by end of year. However, a pullback or trading range is likely over the next few weeks that may provide some gains, while moving more into cash or a neutral position.
My portfolio is at $1,760,000 including $1,359,400 in cash.
Calls Contracts-Shares Long
SLB 2,000 shares
BABA Jan 100 2023 50
Puts Contracts-Shares Short
SPY Oct 420 2022 100
AAPL Sep 180 2022 100
AAPL Oct 165 2022 100
AAPL Oct 170 2022 100
Portfolio at $100,000 on March 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss suspended. Scaled up and adjusted portfolio. Both prior portfolios, since early 2000s, rose initially and substantially, and then failed quickly in “irrational” market “melt-ups," where stocks can go straight up month after month. |
