$Royal Caribbean Cruises(RCL)$   RCL: taking loss. Closed all my short positions on RCL at $363 and eat my humble pie. Another one of the large positions that I've closed these few weeks in my attempt to rebalance my portfolio and cut off dead weights. Taking loss is a part of the trading game but taking large losses is not. For this case, I was over exposed with large trade that went sour. Bitter this might be, I'm owning my trade decision and share this out just like I've shared the other 1000+ trades since Trade Feed function was enabled. A lesson for myself to remember and what don't kill me makes me stronger 💪. 

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ AMD: Bought in some AMD as long term dollar cost averaging. With such great margins on AI chips, the rest of the key semiconductor players such as AMD will eventually get close enough to capture some spill over orders from NVDA. AMD is by no means cheap valuation stocks so at some point I’ll stop adding. Note for week 18th Jan: How true these above statement when 1 week ago I bought AMD at only $147 and it’s now $164 after market. DCA helps reduce the emotions on investing for sure.

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ SoFI: Bought in SoFi at $7 as part of getting assigned after the covered puts I sold went into the money and expired on 3rd May. SoFi closed at $6.96 at closing and I was ok with it. For weeks I’ve been selling SoFi at support $7 and this week it finally went as low as $6.61 before ending at $6.96 at closing. I’ve collected $0.36 premium from the options so $0.04 in the money meant I’m still profitable for $0.32 which translate to 4.55% premium collection over 25 days. Will turn to sell covered call on these newly acquired stocks. Earnings on 29th April were good, company was profitable for the 2nd Quarter in a row, however Mr. Market don’t like this company at its current state. Only time will tell I’m right or

$HSBC Holdings PLC(HSBC)$ HSBC: take about 19% profit and sell off all my remaining shares on HSBC.  Had preset selling at $80 for about 2 weeks now and somehow didn't hit during the lower volume holiday weeks.  Stock sold at better than my set price at $80.43 when market opens for Premarket at 5pm SGP time.  Regardless of how much HSBC moves up tonight, I've already cash out and make peace with my decision. 

$NKE 20240426 90.0 PUT$ NKE: sold cash secured put on NKE at strike price of $90 and 32 days till expiry. Premium collection is relatively low at 0.8% during this period. NKE has a 7% drop post earnings on 21st Mar. Current price is near recent support and about 25% off the recent peak made in Dec 2023.

$MSTR 20260102 150.0 PUT$ MSTR: taking profit when it's expiring later today. Still a highly volatile stock and it's well within 1 ATR movement to its strike at $150 so decidded to close it before heading for bed to prevent last min sell offs. 

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ NVDA: sold 100 shares of NVDA at $121 at slight profit as the covered call expired in the money when market closes at $129.37. Earnings on 28th Aug and results might go both way, so happy to exit with small profit for now. Will decide how I trade this counter after earnings.

$SMCI 20240712 690.0 PUT$ SMCI: take profit after 4 days and with about 1 week till expiry. This SMCI cash secured put as 2 weeks long and at 0.1 delta to factor for volatility. Happy to already achieved >80% of maximum profit in half the time needed and allow profit taking.

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ SOFI: sold these batch of stocks at $7 when the covered call expired in the money with the stock closing at $7.74 on the high. For few days this week, it might look like SoFi is turning bearish and pushing below $7 only to recover strongly in the final 3 days. Happy to encash and also collected the premiums.

$AMD 20240426 157.5 PUT$ AMD: sold cash secured put at $157.5 and expiring in 32 days on 26th April. Premium collection is 1.3% over this period. AMD is 22% lower off its 8th Mar high and hitting temporary support levels. Sold the put at $157.5 which is nearer to the 100 days MA and hope that provide a level of support. NVDA announcement on their new high performance AI product probably had a correlation on AMD stock movement and capitalise on this temporary weakness to sell this put at support.

$SOFI 20251128 26.0 PUT$ sharing profitable options trade to earn weekly coins.  Going to expire this Friday so it's almost fully depleted.  Slight scare last week when it dipped to $23.52 last week and was in the money with strike $26.  Price recovered sharply this whole week and it trades above strike so I'm going to let it expire worthless since Fri is only half day trading due to Thanksgiving holidays.
