So recently I just looked at my portfolio and I have a block of money in my ROTH, IRA and a block in margin account. (Margin taxes, wash sales, etc.) I have been holding long stock positions in my ROTH and selling CSP in Margin, dumb.
So I am selling all my long positions and just rebuying them in my margin account. So all my income from the ROTH is tax free (I am over 59 1/2). My IRA’s will be for only the wheel strategy.
I just consider it a draw down. I had 9 weekly contracts on SOXL from 225 - 240. So I just moved them to the next week to 220 and gave back all my profit of the last week.
At this moment the trade is still underwater, however I just keep pushing it out and down each week to a break even point. Down turns like this really help you develop new skills at breaking even.
@ScottRobo308 Excellent, have you found a trading software service like Tradersviz or TraderVue to manage all your metrics?. I get tired of writing it down.
@ScottRobo308 👍🏻 Here’s this weeks from one of my accounts. I typically do not sell CSP this tight. I sold the weekly options around 230 when SOXL was 285 and it dropped hard. So I have Been rolling around at the bottom here. Today I rolled the 230 to 220 to give it some room.
@TruthFairy131 That is really a great idea, have a group text of all the men, give it to your family. Just send a text of your location and here comes the Calvary.
When I saw you in action with your officers and people were attacking you while you were doing your job. It just reminded me of the scene in apocalypse now with Robert Duvall on the beach, bombs were dropping all around him and he was just focused on the job at hand (and surfing). Many can criticize how you did your job, I just greatly respected your command of presence and control.
@StealthQE4 Take the first group of buyers, multiple counter, highest and best. Then go with the best offer. The house is only worth what others are willing to pay for it, that is it. It doesn’t matter what “you think it is worth”
Take a look at $AVBX 80 puts next week. They already made their announcements and news, I still can’t find out why the premium is so high, super Grok had no answers. Looking to make a trade on it, approx $9 of premium for $100k of collateral is great. I usually gauge for $3k per $100k of collateral.
