Nothing is easy..Every trade involves capital and psychological risk especially during Trump's liberation week and mid Oct to November sell-9ff. Each trade requires informed judgment and conviction.  I missed precious metals, just manage to catch gold in Q4. AMD breakeven. Still a good year at 67% YTD return, beating SPY and QQQ by large extent.

$SNDK VERTICAL 260109 PUT 205.0/PUT 210.0$ Expiring in 2 weeks, closed at 67% profit when price reach over $251. As price chops a lot, I can open a new position when price dips in support level.

$MSFT 20251226 490.0 PUT$ Stocks got assigned, computed that loss would be lower if I sold this long put and sell the stock, instead of $5 per share(difference of vertical spread), net loss became .99 cents per share at closing price ($487.14 vs $488.13). Since current price is very near support and MSFT has been trending, a a dollar or few is highly possible till year end.

$General Motors(GM)$ One of the stock rewards from Tiger Brokers, booking profit to streamline my portfolio. 86% profit in 2 years and 3 months.

$Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF(QQQM)$ Replacing this with Ireland domiciled ETF for tax efficiency. My choice is to put the money in CNDX since its the largest AUM, most liquid, higher returns with its lower expense ratio.

$SNDK VERTICAL 260130 PUT 210.0/PUT 205.0$ This vertical spread is the replacement to the SNDK trade I closed. This is safer since its lower price and delta and longer duration. Pocketed bigger premium/credits too than sqeezing the earlier trade to the last dollar and get hit the risk of getting assignment since that trade is expiring 9 days.

$AMAT VERTICAL 260130 PUT 255.0/PUT 250.0$ AMAT in tight price action, prices coiling in the short term EMAs and 50 SMA. Anticipating breakout.
