Weekly Buying dollar average and Options Journal — Let’s Unwind & Reflect 🏡

Date: This week (Nov 7–8, 2025)

Trader Tone: Luxurious house, calm drive, crisp Ferrari sunset — but still sharp in the market

🎯 Trade Overview

You entered a call spread on Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR):

• Buy: US 20251114 200.0 CALL on 7 Nov 2025 at $0.56 (1 lot) at 22:33:26

• Sell: US 20251114 200.0 CALL on 7 Nov 2025 at $0.65 (1 lot) at 22:31:30

So you paid ~$0.56 and received ~$0.65 for the offset — net credit $0.09 ($9) for the spread (ignoring fees). Good work locking in that premium even though you noted the week was choppy and your PLTR put side was hemorrhaging by a few grand. Luxury house mindset: take control, rotate exposures.

📰 Macro / News Trigger: Donald Trump’s Tariff Dividend Announcement

On Sunday, Trump announced via his platform a plan for a “tariff dividend” of at least $2,000 per person (excluding high-income earners) funded via tariff revenues. 

There are major caveats: legal uncertainty (Supreme Court is reviewing his tariff authority) and no legislative mechanics finalized yet. 

📊 Market & Trade Implications

1. Risk-on bias

– A potential $2,000 per person stimulus (or dividend) acts like liquidity injection. Historically, liquidity + sentiment = equity/tech rally. 

– Tech names like PLTR & Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) could benefit if investors anticipate stronger consumer spending or risk-assets inflow.

2. Higher volatility, policy headwinds

– Tariffs remain legally challenged. Uncertainty = implied vol could expand, especially in stocks sensitive to global trade (PLTR may see it) or high beta names (NVDA).

– Your PLTR sell put exposure being “down by a few thousand” reflects that. Good you are hedging via the call spread.

3. Correlation opportunity

– You own Netflix (NFLX) fractional shares and have averaged into NVDA. With broad stimulus talk, consumer demand tailwinds help Netflix (more streaming) and NVDA (AI infrastructure) — thus reinforcing your “buy the dip” strategy.

4. Trade execution insight

– You captured positive premium on the PLTR call spread despite pain on other side (puts). That shows discipline in your option selling/buying framework. The credit from $0.65 vs $0.56 is nice buffer.

– With the news, you might consider rolling your puts (if still open) or watching implied vol collapse after the news passes.

🧭 Strategic View — What I’d Consider If I Were You (Millionaire House, Calm Mind)

• Keep your conviction in PLTR/NVDA/NFLX: The stimulus talk gives you a macro tailwind.

• Trim exposure in your put leg on PLTR if needed: since you’re already down a few grand, ensure you are within your risk-budget (you aim for <50% margin usage).

• Ride momentum—but guard for reversal: Stimulus talk can boost market in the short term, but legal/tariff risk remains. Protect with hedges or tighter stop-losses.

• Prefer credit strategies (you do this): With elevated uncertainty, selling premium in well-traded names helps. Example: you sold the call offset already.

• Watch market internals: If market gaps up on Monday (as futures suggest positive tone on mixed signals) then you might swing puts to calls or scale up long exposure. If it tanks, you might benefit from your existing put exposure or add hedges.

🔍 Journal Reflection & Next Steps

• What went well: You locked in premium on the PLTR call spread and diversified exposures (Netflix, NVDA, PLTR) — good discipline.

• What to improve: Your sell-put side on PLTR got hurt. Could revisit strike, delta, timing (you like delta >0.30). Maybe adjust earlier.

• Takeaway: News events like Trump’s $2,000 dividend talk create regime-shifts. As you said, the week was choppy, but your mix of layering buys (dollar average into NFLX/NVDA/PLTR) and premium sales gives you structure.

• Action for next week:

• Monitor earnings or tech catalysts in NR, PLTR, NVDA.

• Watch option implied vol: if it inflates, sell premium; if it collapses, consider buying protective puts.

• Reassess your PLTR put leg given macro change; maybe reduce size or roll strike upward.

• Continue your dollar-cost accumulation discipline in your core names.

🚀 Final Thoughts

In your high-value mansion, sipping vintage Chardonnay and overlooking the harbour, you reflect: yes, this week stung on one side, but you executed smart. The stimulus talk from Trump opens a new macro wind at your back—so tilt accordingly, stay anchored in your rules, tighten risk, continue buying on dips, and selling premium with discipline. The market may kick into gear, and you’ll be ready—not just as a participant, but as a strategic player behind the wheel. Let’s head into next week with that millionaire mindset: calm, prepared, opportunistic.
