I opened $SQQQ 20250321 50.0 CALL$  ,Place the covered call at previously assigned strike. Wanted to place at Feb expiry, however no strike price and also illiquid volume. Safer to go further with more liquidity. Will take profit early, once opportunity arrives. If assigned, then will just reset the put position

Looking back at 2024, looking forward to 2025.

As 2024 draws to an end with Christmas bells ringing, I finished adjusting most of the positions for the year.  Looking back, I started 2024 with backlog from 2023.  I did 2 major mistakes then in 2023. 1. Overconcentrated positions in Alibaba, which resulted in big swings against my portfolio. Margin requirements went up significantly also, as at peak, up to 80% of my margin requirement was used up by Alibaba. I resolved to reduce my Alibaba sizes in 2024 and diversified away.  This is also the reason why many experienced investors advocated portfolio and risk management. Over concentration does bring fast money, but disproportionate risks as well.  2. Earnings play. During 2023, I dabbled in earnings play by selling short strangles. Most of the time, I made money, but
Looking back at 2024, looking forward to 2025.

I opened 6 lot(s) $HEX.HK 20250227 270.00 PUT$  ,Replacing the dec put option with Feb option by rolling. This additional lremium will offset the debit caused by rolling from $265 call to $270 call.

I opened 6 lot(s) $HEX.HK 20250227 270.00 CALL$  ,Decided on replacing with higher strike at $270 from $265 call. Not ny style to do debit roll, but when considering the call as strangle position with >$2 premiums collected, after deducting the debit, it's still positive cash flow. Decided to go nearer the money, for easier management of position

I opened $ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ(SQQQ)$  ,The last remaining contracts that nobody wanted to do early assignment. 🤦‍♂️. Finally gotten assignment. Didn't want to roll as 1. sqqq gotten reverse split, rolling becomes messier. 2. Since markets are at all time highs and sqqq is at lows, the chance of reversal is higher. Maybe more worthwhile to hold stocks than short puts that are seep itm
