$MU 20260918 950.0 CALL$ First trade with MU call option. Opened this contract on Tuesday this week. Just closed it to lock in profit. Happy with the outcome. Should have more MU trade to come.
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ When tech experiences a sharp pullback, having anchors in your portfolio makes all the difference. While the high-flying tech names take a breather, sector rotation inevitably kicks in as capital seeks shelter in solid, defensive value. That is exactly what is playing out with UnitedHealth Group (UNH) right now. After a challenging stretch over the past year, the stock has staged a beautiful recovery, pushing up to fresh 52-week highs above $410 this week following a wave of analyst price target upgrades and a stabilizing regulatory outlook. This recovery serves as a textbook reminder of why true diversification matters. When tech draws down, holding a defensive heavyweight like UNH ac
$ASML 20260918 1780.0 CALL$ Luckily managed to STC this call that was bought to open yesterday, lock in some profits before the share price reverses back lower. šš
$ASML 20260918 1640.0 CALL$ Possibly one of my best trades yet. Last Friday, chip-related stocks faced a massive, brutal sell-off that dragged the QQQ down over 4%āeasily marking one of the heaviest single-day drops we've seen so far this year. But blood in the streets always creates the best entries. I watched the panic closely and decided to step right into the fire with ASML, scaling into a call position just minutes before the closing bell rang. Fast forward to today, and the semiconductor sector is staging a massive revenge rally. The swift rebound has sent ASML surging straight back up, trending over 7% higher at the day's peak. Moments like these are exactly why we keep cash ready to deploy when everyone el
$ASML 20260918 1640.0 CALL$ Last Friday, Chip related stocks had a huge sell off. QQQ were down over 4%. One of the biggest sell off so far this year. That created some great opportunities to get into positions and that's what I did with ASML. Managed To buy a call position just before market closes. Today with the chip sector rebounding, this has also send ASML back up, trending almost 7% as am writing this post. š. š¤. Thank you.
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ I remember a time when the biggest challenge in investing was simply getting your hands on reliable information, but today we face the exact opposite problem. The sheer speed and volume of data available at our fingertips have fundamentally shifted how the market moves, transforming what used to be a steady walk into a high-speed roller coaster. Looking at the massive run-ups and sudden, sharp pullbacks in a stock like AMD, it is completely natural to experience mixed feelings. On one hand, you are thrilled to see your long-term growth thesis validated, but on the other, the temptation to lock in those profits and buy back in during a inevitable dip is incredibly strong, even thoug
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ One of my quickest Wheel Strategy, the underlying shares were assigned just a day and now got called away with the covered call closed in-the-money. Extra profits From the underlying gain on top on of the daily 0DTE premiums collected. š
$SPY 20260604 755.0 CALL$ After getting assigned on that previous lot of SPYāwhere my 0DTE option expired $1.24 out-of-the-money but still triggered because of a late after-hours dropāI pivot-turned the position into a covered call strategy. In a bizarre twist of market irony, my latest 0DTE covered call just expired in-the-money by $2.05 at the closing bell, only for SPY to immediately aggressive-tank after hours, pushing the current price back outside the money. Now I am stuck playing the exact same waiting game in reverse, watching the tape to see if the options clearing house actually calls this lot away from me or leaves me holding the shares for another round.
$SPY 20260603 753.0 PUT$ Sold this 0DTE with 753 strike last night. The market closes 754.24. $1.24 always yet assignments was given to this. Understand the aftermarket price may affect the assignment, this is not even close to my strike. š¤
$MSFT 20260612 395.0 PUT$ Would usually open a new weekly CSP on MSFT towards end of the week, however with one sitting over 90% in profit expiring this week, And with MSFT bearish momentum Today, took the opportunity to open a new position since the dip of over 3% that makea the premium juicer at the intended strike price.
$ASML 20260918 1600.0 CALL$ I closed a week-old ASML call option contract today for a tidy profit after a textbook momentum exit. About a week ago, ASML had a bearish day and dropped to around the 1610 level, creating the perfect entry point to build a long position. The share price spent most of last week consolidating and staying flat, but it finally began to recover some ground yesterday before completely popping today. As the price shot up, I monitored the technicals closely and noticed the RSI pushing high while the MACD histogram started to peak, signaling that intense buying momentum was beginning to face profit-taking and increased selling pressure. Recognizing that the quick run-up was ripe for a cool-off, I lo

$ASML 20260821 1580.0 CALL$ Sharing last week's winning with ASML. This call went into negative after opened shortly. Held for 1.5 weeks until last Friday when ASML broke its all time high resistance and this call became profitable.
$Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ A little over a year ago, I noticed Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) when it was trading like a penny stock down around $5. It felt like a bit of a speculative play at the time, but the thesis made sense: their next-gen Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) power chips dramatically improve energy efficiency and thermal management. With power-hungry AI servers and storage infrastructure scaling up globally, it was clear that the massive energy demands of data centers would eventually lift the entire power management sector. Because it felt speculative, I didn't give it major attention; I simply bought tiny 10-share tranches along the way, systematically using Tiger cash vouchers to score roughly 30% of
$D-Wave Quantum Inc.(QBTS)$ I have always believed that quantum computing represents the next massive leap forward for the tech sector, though because the industry is still in its absolute infancy, I purposely keep my position sizes very small. We saw how volatile this space can be around September and October of last year when government interest sparked a massive parabolic move, sending my primary ticker QBTS up over 180% within a month before completely sizzling out. Taking a disciplined, small-sized approach keeps the portfolio safe from those wild, speculative swings while still leaving the door open for the real shifts. That real shift might be starting to take shape with the Trump administrationās fresh announcement of a $2 billion fu
$ASML 20260821 1480.0 CALL$ I opened the call position 2 days ago and immediately watched the share price reverse lower, leaving me deep in the red. Even though it managed to claw back some ground by the closing bell, the profit was too thin for my liking, so I decided to hold through the volatility. Patience finally paid off today as price action turned aggressive, with ASML hitting a high of over 5%. While I exited the trade a bit earlier than the absolute peak, Iām walking away happy with a great return over a two-day hold. With NVDA reporting its earnings after market closes, anything can happen.
$ASML 20260821 1520.0 CALL$ I locked in a solid profit on ASML after a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I opened the call position a day early and immediately watched the share price reverse lower, leaving me deep in the red. Even though it managed to claw back some ground by the closing bell, the profit was too thin for my liking, so I decided to hold through the volatility. Patience finally paid off yesterday as price action turned aggressive, with ASML closing nearly 4% higher. While I exited the trade a bit earlier than the absolute peak, Iām walking away happy with a great return over a two-day hold. The broader chip sector got a massive psychological boost from the high-stakes summit between Trump and Xi. The re
$MSFT 20260515 390.0 PUT$ I opened a Cash Secured Put (CSP) on MSFT yesterday, taking advantage of the recent bearish price action to secure a better entry point. I generally prefer entering these positions on red days as it allows me to either collect a higher premium for my target strike or potentially set an even lower strike price for a better margin of safety. While Microsoftās recent headline earnings were strong, the stock has faced some headwinds that created this opening. The market seems primarily concerned with the massive ramp-up in capital expenditure, which is projected to hit $190 billion for the 2026 calendar year. This aggressive spending on AI infrastructure is weighing on near-term free cash flow and te
$IONQ Inc.(IONQ)$ I am continuing to navigate the evolving landscape of quantum computing, though I remain mindful that it occupies a speculative corner of my portfolio. While the potential for this technology to redefine future computing needs is immense, we are undoubtedly still in the infant stages of its development. This inherent volatility was clearly demonstrated during the market downturn in April, where speculative sectors like this one bore the brunt of the selling pressure. Since those recent lows, the stock has rallied significantly, nearly doubling in value. Although I didn't manage to catch the absolute bottom of the move, my underlying position has finally moved into profitable territory. I view
Keeping a close eye on Alibaba (BABA) right now as we approach its Q4 and full-year fiscal 2026 results before the market opens tomorrow, May 13. Looking at the daily chart for the US ticker, there is a compelling Cup and Handle pattern forming that suggests the bulls might be ready for a breakout. The technical setup looks ripe for a potential gap up, especially if the earnings release provides the right spark to clear the overhead resistance we have been testing lately. Market expectations are a bit of a mixed bag, which often sets the stage for a surprise move. Analysts are looking for revenue to land around $35.23 billionāa healthy 8% year-over-year increaseādriven largely by the continued acceleration of the Cloud Intelligence Group, which has seen growth climb toward 36% recently.
