Also for July, watching:
$AMBA
$RACK
$BOT
Hot sector ETFs can make great swing trade targets, and have less risk than individual stocks. Anyone else watching these??
Into July- holding positions in
$MRVL $RKLB $DRAM $OUST $WOLF
Sold about 6k worth of options expiring before EOY. This limits my trading ability, but also helps me not over trade. Unless the story behind these changes drastically, I am happy to collect premium on volatility
June! Ended up -$1,340 :(
Interesting month for me- some successes, but bigger mistakes.
Mistakes- $LASE $ENPH $FIG. Attempted to enter swing trade positions on these, ended up selling covered calls and took all the downside
Wins on: $DRAM $MRVL $BOT $WOLF $RKLB
Quick PnL for May: +6,687 (10.3%)
Finally moved from Vanguard to Schwab tos
Mostly a mix of CSP and swing/momentum trading
Most active tickers for me:
$RKLB $WOLF $BB $NOK $ENPH $ASTS $RDDT $RNMBY $OUST
Mostly cash over the weekend :)
Some memorable lines from Reminiscences
Stocks are never too high to begin buying or too low to begin selling
Trade to the sleeping point
The game does not change and neither does human nature
You can't tell til you bet
It's a bull market, you know!
$RKLB $MU $RDDT $IREN
Spent the weekend reading Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (Jesse Livermore story) and reflecting on my own trading. Very entertaining and educational read.
By selling CSP, I miss out on some upside vs other strategies during a face ripping bull market. Looking to be more aggressive with swing trades since it feels like the AI wave is not going to end. Going forward I will just post a monthly PnL and the occasional trade I make.
Amazing quarter for $RKLB. Awesome balance sheet, great acquisitions, great updates on Neutron + launch contracts.
Closed all my short puts today for nice gains. Could have been more aggressive, but #thetagang has been good to me. Excited for the rest of the year!!!
Spicy week
Closed $APLD, $AMSC and $RDDT puts for solid gains
Flipped $SMCI 5/8 28c after earnings like a degen
Tried to call a top on $MU 5/8 630p and got roasted like a degen
Waiting for $RKLB earnings tomorrow, like a degen

+1 $RDDT 5/29 160p for 6.9 (54% of max, 5% total return)
I doomscroll Reddit before IG most days now. Going to be interesting to see if it retests 52W highs, but I had to exit here. Feel like this ER re-rates the stock and erases many fears.
IRA
-4 $APLD 5/29 29p for 1.65 each
Delta 0.20 here
Worried about a May sell off so keeping delta low
Watching for $RDDT earnings 4/30 and $RKLB on 5/7
IRA yesterday
+2 $APLD 5/29 28p for 1.4 each (37% of max, 3% total)
Watching $CAR squeeze and then violently unwind was a ride. In a paper acct, I made a 1200% return timing the top. If I had the risk tolerance to trade it for real, life would look very different today.
Brokerage
+4 $BULL 1/21/28 7.5c for 3.05 each
IRA
-1 $ASTS 5/29 70p for 5.25 (34% of max, 3.9% total)
Taking quick wins here and waiting for next opportunities, feeling good with extra cash position
Resisting $CAR with all the willpower I have!!!
IRA
-5 $RKLB 5/29 75p for 4.0 each
-1 $RDDT 5/29 160p for 15
-2 $APLD 5/29 28p for 2.25
-1 $ASTS 5/29 70p for 8.0
Thought this morning was going to be way worse, market didn't seem to care about any news this weekend
Brokerage
+15 $ASTS at 74.56 purchased overnight
IRA
Sold to close:
$MSFT 12/18 500c for 17.25, -16%
$NFLX 12/18 100c for 9.15, -14%
Silly for buying calls after huge rally, but limiting the loss and keeping position size correct
IRA
+5 $APLD 5/15 28p for 1.85 each (20% of max, 1.6% return)
Only positions for the weekend are long $MSFT and $NFLX
Locked and loaded for whatever Monday brings 😤🤑
