Investment Reflection: LEAP NXT Cash Secured Put Option Strategy

Overview On April 16, 2024, I sold one contract of a LEAP NXT cash-secured put option with a strike price of USD 40 and a maturity date of November 15, 2024, for a premium of USD 437. This strategic move was driven by my confidence in the stability or potential appreciation of NXT's stock price. However, I decided to close this position on May 23, 2024, for USD 238. Here’s a detailed reflection on this investment strategy.

But I here you thinking "nothing is certain in the stock market" and of course you are right. But based on historical data, with the S&P over the long term, the only way is up. Yes there have been corrections but on average we are told that the historical 9% average return is not beaten by most investors that try to pick stocks. And although we are also told past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Well I'd argue that the data on the S&P is so vast, well it gives a level of reliability and of course

Investment Reflection: Selling a Palantir Cash-Secured Put Option

Overview of the Strategy On May 21, 2024, I sold a cash secured put option for Palantir Technologies $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ with a strike price of $20 and a maturity date of June 21, 2024, receiving a premium of $40. This strategy involves selling a put option, which obligates me to buy Palantir stock at the strike price if the option is exercised. Given Palantir's recent performance and financial strength, this strategy appeared to be a prudent way to potentially acquire the stock at a discount or to earn income from the premium received. Rationale for the Strategy 1. Current Stock Performance: At the time of the option sale, Palantir’s stock was priced at $21.28 and the advent o

SPX should produce a higher high targeting 5335-5350

As long as $S&P 500(.SPX)$ remains above 5283, we should produce a higher high targeting 5335-5350. If so, that should terminate the bearish B-Wave or bullish Third Wave. However, the loss of 5283 should lead to 5240-5211 support, which is also the area of interest following a rally to 5335-5350. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $E-mini S&P 500 - main 2406(ESmain)$ $E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2406(NQmain)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ ImageImage

Investment Reflection on GOLD Vertical Put Option Strategy

On May 9, 2024, I initiated a vertical put spread on GOLD $Barrick Gold Corp(GOLD)$ by selling a put option with a strike price of USD 17 and buying a put option with a strike price of USD 16, both maturing on June 21, 2024. This strategy, known as a bull put spread, allowed me to collect an initial premium of USD 39. The rationale behind this strategy was to capitalize on the expectation that GOLD would remain above USD 17 until the maturity date. Initial Strategy and Expectations The vertical put spread is a limited-risk, limited-reward strategy designed to benefit from a bullish outlook on the underlying asset, in this case, GOLD. By selling the higher strike put (USD 17) and buying the lower strike put (USD 16), I aimed to generate inco

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Selling covered calls can be a prudent strategy in the current market environment, especially with the S&P 500 experiencing a seven-day rally. Here’s why it might be advantageous: 1. Income Generation: Selling covered calls allows you to earn premium income on stocks you already own, which can enhance your returns. 2. Downside Protection: The premium received can provide a cushion against potential declines in stock prices. 3. Market Outlook: If you believe the market may consolidate or pull back slightly after the recent run-up, selling covered calls could capitalize on this view.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ The stock market is made up of 2 groups of people The first group, speculators/gamblers (majority) treat the stock market like a casino. The second group, the investors (minority) treat the stock market like a supermarket of business that are on sale. You can make money in both groups. However, to make money, you have to follow a very different set of rules The Speculation Game The speculation game is a lot more attractive as it gives the impression that you can get rich a lot quicker. This is true but the chances of making money over the long run is much lower (less than 5% of people end up profitable). This is the ‘greater fools game’, where you buy something (even if it
