Thursday 02 Jan 2025 Morning Notes

No real trades of note other than loading a few different put spreads in TQQQ heading into the New Year. Everyone is so damn certain of a continued rally that I'm taking the other side on the chance they're wrong. I also threw on a March $8/$4 1x2 put ratio in MSTU, a levered play on MSTR.

Tuesday 31 Dec 2024 Morning Notes

It's here, the end of 2024. Damn!! Time flies. Tacked on some Jan 2026 QUBT 1x2 put spreads, buying the $10s, selling 1x of the $5s and 1x of the $3s for $2.22avg. Company has essentially no revenues and I foresee this as one of those "serial equity diluters" who will begin issuing secondarys that will crush the stock price.

Thursday 19 Dec 2024 Morning Notes

Well the Fed just threw a cup of cold water in the face of the market. Everyone and his cousin was balls long thinking the market would only rip higher. I believe I mentioned last week that I had peeled off my equity exposure in my retirement accounts last week for that exact reason and bot MTBA. The move appears prescient now, but we'll see if it was indeed prescient a year from now. Feel free to substitute the word "lucky" for "prescient".

Sold a bunch of short $33 calls on NTGR yesterday on that rip higher following the TP-Link facing a potential ban news, then turned my short calls into a 1x3 ratio spread by purchasing the 29 calls. Looks like I might be able to flip that 1x3 package for another credit with the stock back at 29 in the pre-mkt after closing at 26.90 yesterday. I also sold a bunch of the Dec 25 puts for .15 when the stock was trading for $29.80, typically not a fan of selling for such a small credit but the juice was too good to pass up. If with the stock closing at 26.90, those puts have no bid and the ask is .20.
