Tuesday 16 Sep 2025 Morning Notes

My only trade of note yesterday was a wkly otm put purchase in TSLR. I picked up some of the 30 puts for $1.40 then flipped them for $2.20 on an afternoon sell-off. I also threw on a small Oct 5 put/wkly 4 put diagonal debit spread in LDI. I'll look to continue to roll otm puts against my long 5 puts. It's a small position but whatever. That position is up +21%.

Monday 15 Sep 2025 Morning Notes

Flipped a straddle in SNPS for some quick cash clipping +20%, then watched it run for better than +50%, as is tradition. Ate a few small losses on some smaller trades that nipped about half of what I cleared on SNPS. Slightly OTM flyers that I think have a sporting chance of turning into massive winners. One of these times, those will hit and will cover all the times they don't pan out. I don't gamble, but it makes sense sometimes to place a small bet that has a remote chance of turning a big gain.

Friday 12 Sep 2025 Morning Notes

No trades of note yesterday, other than a 8.5/7.5 put diagonal in OPEN. I always expect garbage co's to offer a secondary or do something dilutive on rips like OPEN has seen.

Thursday 11 Sep 2025 Morning Notes

Flipped a straddle in CHWY that was a classic old-school all-timer. Never should have got filled where it did, but it did, and I flipped it two minutes later for +29%. Love those! Also traded a couple otm short puts in ORCL that I clipped for some quick but short cash. Not a huge fan of short puts, but the IV was high and I figured the stock would stay flat, or continue higher. Lucked out, as the OpenAI deal news later in the day sent the stock lower and IV higher... Thankfully I had already flipped out of my position, then I legged into a new position and closed that out prior to the close. I play those tight, not worth it to try and wring every cent out of it.
