Aug 10th Trading Log (Updates):
Current Trades: Bought 10 SPY Oct 420 puts at 15.35, bought 10 more AAPL 165 puts at 6.4, bought 10 more BABA calls at 8.5, bought 10 more AAPL 165 puts at 6.1, bought 1,000 more SLB shares at 34.00, sold the 20 AAPL 160 puts at 5, bought 10 more SPY 420 puts at 14.8, sold 10 BABA calls at 10.1, sold 1,000 SLB shares at 35.10, bought 10 more AAPL 165 puts at 6, bought 10 more SPY 420 puts at 14.3, and bought 30 more AAPL 165 puts at 5.8 --------- CPI for July y-o-y reported at 8.5%, down from the 9.1% peak the prior month, but core CPI y-o-y unchanged at 5.9%, and peaked in March at 6.5%. CPI down basically only because of energy prices, which may not fall much more or rise again? SPX resistance at 4,227 (50% retracement of a high to low). AAPL is up 40 points or over 30%, since mid-June. A pullback or volatility likely soon.
My portfolio is about $1,780,000 including $1,371,900 in cash.
Calls Contracts-Shares Long
SLB 4,000 shares
BABA 1,000 shares
BABA Jan 100 2023 40
Puts Contracts-Shares Short
SPY Oct 410 2022 30
SPY Oct 420 2022 30
AAPL Oct 165 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. |
