To The Moon

$GOOG VERTICAL 260116 CALL 185.0/CALL 215.0$ I am taking the view that GOOG is undervalue and the company is expected to announce good results in the next earning announcement. hence, I have opened this bull call spread expiring in 6months time.

$iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN(VXX)$ I opened $iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN(VXX)$ ,VXX: bought in additional shares of VXX at $50 as part of cash secured put that expired in the money on 11th July. VXX trades at $45.20 so is taking some paper loss on this trade even after premium collection. Nevertheless decides not to roll out the trades as I'm ok to hold the long VXX shares as part of my hedge to the long positions. VXX tend to spike during period of volatility when market turns bearish, so I'll be looking for opportunities to offload these shares when it occurs. In the meantime, will be selling covered calls at holding average of $50 or higher strikes to collect premiums to offset the decays

$Walgreens Boots Alliance(WBA)$ WBA: sold off all my WBA holdings for small gains when the covered calls finally ended in the money when it closed at $11.52 against my strike of $11.50.  Overall a profitable trade since the closing price is only $0.02 higher than my strike.  Happy to offload with small capital gains on the stocks as well.  The volume had been low for WBA so moving forward I think I'll hold off trading WBA for now until price either come back down to a lower accumulation level.  In the meanwhile, happy to take back the capital and shore up trading margins for other open trades. 

$Strategy(MSTR)$ MSTR: sold 100 shares of MSTR at $400 as part of short call being exercised when it expired in the money on 11th July.  MSTR closed strongly at $434.58 and up 7.57% for the 3rd consecutive week.  Decided to not roll the short or close it outright as I've had decided to take up the short and get assigned.  BTC is at all time high within the $118k zone and is also bullish alongside the stock market. Won't know how much higher it could go and they might still be additional bullish momentum to continue pushing BTC and MSTR higher unless a reversal catalyst is able to break the momentum and turn bearish.  For now, I'll be selling sold puts to try purchase back the shorts at holding cost or lower. 

$SOFI 20250711 15.0 CALL$ The Notorious Side of Covered Calls: When Playing It Safe Costs You Big Covered calls are often hailed as a conservative strategy for generating steady income. For investors holding stagnant stocks, it can feel like a no-brainer: collect premiums while waiting for the underlying to move. But as I recently learned with my SOFI position, this strategy can come with a painful trade-off—especially when the unexpected happens. For months, SOFI barely budged. The stock traded in a tight range, going nowhere fast. To make my capital work harder, I started selling covered calls—collecting premiums while waiting for the stock to wake up. It was smooth sailing… until it wasn’t. Out of the blue, SOFI spiked

$TLT 20250711 86.0 PUT$ Got assigned as cash secured put. Shall monitor for the coming week to sell covered call.

$AMZN DIAGONAL 250711/250725 CALL 220.0/CALL 225.0$ AMZN: trade risk management to manage a losing trade. Rolled the expiring 11th July covered call for AMZN with strike if $220 to 25th July with strike of $225.  As of trade setup, AMZN was having a bullish day and moving upwards so there is little chance that it will close below $220.  Decided to roll the call further to buy some time at close to breakeven cost.  By the time market close for the week, AMZN had close at $225.02 and is already at the money for my new call strike so I'll have to monitor the market trend in the next 2 weeks.  If it continues to go higher, I might close this call for loss and take p

$BRK.B DIAGONAL 250711/250801 PUT 480.0/PUT 475.0$ BRK.B: trade risk management to manage a losing trade. Rolled the expiring 11th July cash secured put with strike of $480 to 1st Aug and strike of $475.  Manage to still secured small credit for this roll. BRK.B had been bearish since Buffet announced his retirement. The premium assigned to his greatness is slowly being pared away.  At some point, will decide to take up the assignment as I'm comfortable holding its shares and its great cash reserves.  Being opportunistic to be able to roll the put lower and still be able to gain some additional premium so I'll be patient in the accumulation stage. 

$UNH DIAGONAL 250718/250725 CALL 320.0/CALL 315.0$ UNH: collect 0.6% premium for this UNH covered call with strike at $315. Finally a trade that was roll out in an attempt to secure more profit instead of taking loss.  UNH dipped to $304.1 at close after forming the recent high at $326.55.  The premium remaining on the existing covered call with strike at $320 and expiring on 18th July was almost fully collected so decided to lower down the strike to $315 and sold a new call to capture some additional premium.  Long term still bullish on UNH at this pricing level and still a healthy business although with headwinds due to regulations and strings of other negative news

$WBA 20250711 11.5 CALL$ WBA: collected full premium from these covered call but they expired in the money in 11th July. sold off all my WBA holdings for small gains when the covered calls finally ended in the money when it closed at $11.52 against my strike of $11.50. Overall a profitable trade since the closing price is only $0.02 higher than my strike. Happy to offload with small capital gains on the stocks as well. The volume had been low for WBA so moving forward I think I'll hold off trading WBA for now until price either come back down to a lower accumulation level. In the meanwhile, happy to take back the capital and shore up trading margins for other open trades. 

$MARA 20250711 16.5 CALL$ I collected the premiums but got assigned. As the result, I solf off MARA at loss when the covered calls got in the money and shares were used to nett off the trade. Have few batches of covered calls so this is one of them. MARA rallied hard on BTC all time high runs so decided not to chase and capped my losses with the assignment since it's covered. Will be looking for more opportunities to reenter.

$CLSK 20250711 9.5 CALL$ I collect the premiums but the trades ended up in the money on expiry so I've sold off CLSK for small profits when the covered calls got in the money and shares were used to nett off the trade. Have few batches of covered calls so this is one of them. CLSK rallied hard on BTC all time high runs so decided not to chase and capped my profitwith the assignment since it's covered. Will be looking for more opportunities to reenter since I think the risk to reward for these trades are compelling.

$2X Long VIX Futures ETF(UVIX)$ 上星期賣put20同20.5加埋買正股，共400股。而家夜盤升穿20，有20.19。平衡風險下，我覺得減持一半會比較好。留200股今晚睇位走埋佢，或者賣call 21.5[胜利]  

$PING AN(02318)$  I completed a swing trade. The asset was a little overvalued; I require a minimum 5% dividend yield after tax, comparable to current US 10-year Treasury yields, to justify investment for global dividend investors. A bullish outlook on insurance company investments suggests significant potential growth within two to three years. However, the current price isn't particularly cheap, only reasonable given that bullish assumption. I avoided holding an empty position due to fear of missing out (FOMO).

$HDO.HK 20250828 13.50 PUT$ my average cost is $16.48. Selling CSP to average in if needed. Would prefer price to bounce back up for full premiums. lol 

$NVO 20250711 65.0 PUT$ NVO: collected premium in full when this cash secured put expired worthless on 11th July. Below was my justification when setting up this trade.  Right now it seems to be forming a bear flag and unable the break up above the 100 days MA. Will monitor. After the break up between NVO and HIMs, both companies suffered a drop in stock price. While the partnership had collapsed, the market for weigh loss drugs are still competitive, in high demand and lucrative.Guess it's picking some potential value while the company navigates its next move. Usually they might partner with another player in the market for the same functions as HIMs and business as usual. Time will tell.

$GDX 20250711 50.0 PUT$ GDX: collected full premium when this cash secured put expired worthless on 11th July.  GDX trades between $50 to $55 for the 6th consecutive weeks now and without key triggering event, might look set to continue it's consolidation.  Long term bullish on Gold related related stocks simply for its hedging and inflationary ascent, but short term wise, will have to monitor which direction it breaks out from.

$RCL 20250711 255.0 PUT$ RCL: collected full premium when this cash secured put expired worthless on 11th July.  RCL continued its 4th weeks of bullish run though its rise had moderated and was up 1.2% last week to close at $338.51. Still this is now a far away from my short holding cost.  Will wait this out through selling puts and buy back at lower levels when possible.  This turned out to me my major losing trade this year so it's not a good trade example. 

$PLTR 20250711 135.0 PUT$ PLTR: collected full premium when this cash secured put expired worthless on 11th July.  PLTR made a major dip in 27th June for 9.37% drop to $130.74 only to recover back to $142.10 at latest close.  This however had not negated its potential bearish setup as the price action for the past 2 weeks was still within the price levels from the last 27th June dip mentions. Will observe which direction this break out from and trade from there. 

$RDDT 20250711 130.0 PUT$ RDDT: collected full premium when this cash secured put expired worthless on 11th July.  Price is down 7.29% for the week after a bullish run. Price is back down to its 20 days EMA support, sell volume is lower then its preceding buy volume.  I think it's healthy for the stock to retrace slightly and form a high low before breaking back higher. Will be monitoring how this goes.
