$Caterpillar(CAT)$ One of my favourite stocks this year: picked this up in January 2026 on the back of news about data centre construction ramp ups. Caterpillar is an established name in the business and apart from the popular yellow cranes and bulldozers that we often see at construction sites, they provide generators and power for data centres. It is low now, and a good time to pick it up. I personally am going to pick up some more pieces of this stock. One of my favourite pick-and-shovel trades on the back of the AI boom. There is more upside to be had, and this is a long hold investment for me. I'll either do CSP on it and then if I get filled on my put strike I'll begin to short covered calls o
Happy to have made >100k in 5 months of 2026 from mostly options trading. Obviously wish it could be more, and still made so many mistakes, but everything is a learning journey.
$NVDA 20260109 195.0 CALL$ NVDA Jade Lizard Part 2: closed the final leg for +US$3K. Held the calls through the Fed cut expecting possible hawkish or sell-the-news vibe. This was the second part after I took the 70% profit on CSP leg. Continue to hold Nvda stock and will continue to sell a new covered call next week.
$CRWV 20260220 65.0 PUT$ I closed the CSP and took the approx 30% instead of trying to squeeze the last bit of theta out of it. Momentum appears to have lost steam and I don't see aggressive buying volumes on the dips unlike recent trends. Felt like retail buying not backed by institutional. Gut feeling isn't the best strategy but for this one happy to log that it worked out with recent bearish news on CRWV. The 2$B convertible notes seem a red flag and hints of over leverage. In line with the AI bubble narrative it is worth to be more cautious with these stocks that have expended most of their gas in the recent bull runs this year. I might be wrong but anyway, happy to take profit and start over. had no idea a mult
$NVDA 20251219 165.0 PUT$ POV: You set up a jade lizard before earnings, took 70% profit on the CSP right before NVDA nuked (caught that IV crush 😎) and now you’re just sitting back letting the credit call spread finish the job. 🐉💅📉
$ARM 20260605 255.0 CALL$ More covered calls. a portion of this profit is from PMCC; did a deep ITM LEAP call ARM long call option to maximise the covered call premium profit a little. Caution on these, be sure to track earnings and company performance so you don't get the underlying ripping through your strike price on bullish headlines. Still working through preferred delta and gamma with these headline sensitive and volatile tech stocks. Does anyone really use .3 delta or do you stay more conservative <.3?
$PLTR 20260515 155.0 CALL$ More regular farming on one of my holds. The premium isn't great but I managed to snag PLTR in the early days (9-20$ range) so multiple lots can be covered on options. Pure luck, I wouldn't say there was much skill involved here. Just farming income from lucky timing in 2023.
$ASML 20260508 1550.0 CALL$ Regular weekly to bi weekly covered calls on ASML. While it's exhilarating to get lucky on a company and make a neat profit on bullish news, the need for consistency and regularity of income is a huge boon regardless. Hedged both ways, capital gains, and cashing out on dips is simple, reproducible and fuss free.
$ASML 20260402 1445.0 CALL$ Decided to open 2 short calls this week, one covered and one not, still convinced that the bullish sentiment in the stock market is an inaccuratr delayed response to actual economic conditions. With the straits still closed and no resolution in sight i expect more bearish headwinds. Covered call szn 🗿
$PLTR 20260417 177.5 CALL$ Not a massive cash out but this was 70% of the covered call's total value, and I held it for only 2 days before deciding it was past its time decay and while I could have gotten more today, still glad for the ROI on this. PLTR has not been the spectacular bullishmeme stock of the past despite all the U.S. defence contracts it holds and seems a prime stock to sell covered calls on.
$ASML 20260327 1600.0 CALL$ It's covered call season! Currently on the look out for bullish stocks that will inevitably feel the pinch of rising oil prices due to the closed straits. My biggest challenge is setting the expiry to align with global announcements or earnings calls to avoid getting blasted through my strikes. ASML continues to be one of my favourite tech stocks to sell covered calls on.
