VST PMCC Position Thesis: Capturing Nuclear's AI Moment With Defined Risk
- **Long Call**: $120 strike, 1-year expiration - **Short Call**: $170 strike, ~1-month expiration - **Structure**: Poor Man's Covered Call with defined max loss and premium offset ### **Why This Position, Right Now** **1. Government Validation Creates a New Floor** The $4.2B DOE loan isn't just capital—it's policy confirmation that nuclear is central to the grid's AI infrastructure future. This shifts VST from a speculative AI-energy play to a quasi-utility with government backing. The $120 strike targets a 14% upside from current levels (~$105-110 range post-initial pop), which is conservative relative to: - Siebert Williams Shank Buy rating at $202 (44% upside) - Goldman Sachs Buy on Seagate at $960 (implies similar energy infrastructure tailwinds) - Long-term demand drivers (Meta contr
$MARA 20261030 13.0 CALL$ The stock touched a high of 14 and dropped non stop to 10.80 today. Still gonna sell covered calls on this rain or shine. Have quite a lot expiring at 13-15 this week. Sold a small portion of covered call at 13 today to capture a little bit of premium.
$VST 20261030 170.0 CALL$ Selling a shorter duration call option on vst. Forming a typical PMCC. This is much higher than the previous 150 short call position I set, which coincides with the current short term resistance. 170 should be the next level that will have quite a bit of sellers according to the horizontal lines that you can draw on the charts. Let me know if anyone needs help to visualize this. Again, this caps the up side at 170 but the duration is only till end of OCT. Im not saying it definitely wont cross this level but probability of this happening will be relatively low unless there's even bigger news coming out. Even so, I wont complain if I had to take profit and close all positions. Still decent p
$VST 20280121 125.0 CALL$ Adding position on VST even after the recent news. No change in thesis and havent reach my final budget also. Anything below 150 I will continue to add.
$SOFI DIAGONAL 261023/270917 CALL 18.0/CALL 13.0$ Stock hasn't move much since I bought. Probably down a little. Havent reach my total budget for this stock so will still add more if price remains or drop a little bit more. There isnt any change in the thesis, so no change in strategy as well. The theta decay captured by short call is negligible but still kopi money. Just praying hard it doesnt shoot like 2025 july. When it doesn't move, it really gets stuck in a range, but when it moves, its like a mad stock running after dont know what. Pls dont do that again and let me ride you up. Haha
$SPCX DIAGONAL 261106/261113 PUT 148.0/PUT 155.0$ Rolling up and out to capture more theta decay. This is a rather complicated pair with echostar. Have not been seeing the closure of the NAV value between the two but will continue to monitor will capturing theta decay on the short put while shorting spcx stocks.
$WDC 20261023 500.0 CALL$ Putting back the short leg of PMCC into position . Last week took profit on the short call when it was reacting to the Toshiba news. Good profits of more than 50% of the short call value realised. Seem to be crawling back today to a reasonable value before the dip. Hence putting up my short call position to capture the theta decay. However, always note that this caps the upside of this leap, pros and cons.
SoFi Grew Revenue 40%. The Stock Is 4% Off Its 52-Week Low. Here's How I'm Positioned
Mathematical Money | October 4, 2026 $SOFI$ closed Friday at $15.77. Its 52-week low is $15.15, so it's sitting about four percent above the worst price it has traded in a year, and roughly 51% below the $32.21 it reached last November. Over the same stretch the business has been growing at 40%. That gap is the entire reason I own it, and this post is mostly about how I've structured the position rather than why I like the company — because the structure is the part people rarely explain. What the business actually did Second quarter, reported at the end of July. Adjusted net revenue of $1.21 billion, up 40% year on year, with total net revenue up 43%. Earnings of $0.12 a share against a $0.11 consensus. Underneath that, the numbers I care more about. Loan originations hit $14.8 billion, a
One Side Of The Wheel Had A Great Week. The Other Expires Friday.
Mathematical Money | October 4, 2026 $MARA$ closed Friday at $11.24. A week earlier it was $12.53, so that's down 10.3% in five sessions and roughly 15% below where it traded in mid-September. I run both sides of a wheel on this name — calls above the position, puts below it. This week the two sides did completely opposite things, which is a useful illustration of what you're actually signing up for when you sell premium in both directions. The calls paid, because the stock fell On 18 September I sold calls at the $14 strike expiring 9 October, taking $0.73 each. By Thursday the stock had dropped far enough that those contracts were worth $0.0565 — effectively nothing. I closed them for a realised gain of $2,633 and immediately wrote new ones at the $13 strike, two weeks further out, for $
