Feb 2nd Trading Log (Updates):
Morning Trades: Bought 10 more QQQ Sep puts at 19.25, and bought 20 more SPY Dec puts at 18.25. Current Trades: Bought 20 QQQ Jun 320 puts at 19.4, bought 20 more QQQ Sep puts at 18.6, sold the 500 GOOG shares at 108.00, sold the 500 IWM shares at 198.60, bought 30 more SPY Sep puts at 17.5, bought 1,000 GOOG shares at 107.20, bought 20 QQQ Feb 24 320 puts at 11.3, bought 20 more QQQ Jun puts at 18.8, sold 30 SPY Sep puts at 18.5, sold the 20 QQQ weekly puts at 13.3, sold 20 SPY Sep puts at 19.2, and sold 20 QQQ Jun puts at 21 ----------- I expect SPX will top soon and be in a trading range, e.g. 4,100 to 4,200. AAPL AMZN and GOOG report earnings after close. If SPX spikes tomorrow morning on earnings, I'll buy large positions in SPY and QQQ puts. Put options aren't falling much, or at all, as market rises, because VXX (a volatility ETF) is also rising, which often suggests a pullback soon. I accidentally wrote over yesterday's trading log
My portfolio is about $2,540,000 including $2,140,900 in cash.
Calls Contracts-Shares Long
BABA 500 shares
GOOG 1,000 shares
Puts Contracts-Shares Short
SPY Sep 410 2023 20

QQQ Jun 320 2023 20
QQQ Sep 310 2023 40
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. |
