Day 35 - Red Wedding

The market dropped significantly today.
SPY fell nearly 2.7%, while QQQ took an even bigger hit, dropping 4%.

Trading Update

As I mentioned last week, I’m fully deployed—no capital left to spare.

This week I slowly kept increasing the extent to which my cash was deployed since volatility/VIX kept increasing. And now I have no more cash to deploy. So unless some trades go green, it is likely that I will need to watch the next week from the sidelines.

• No new positions opened today.
• No existing positions closed today.

Portfolio Status

Today was brutal. My account dropped by over 10.5%.

• 📉 Year to Date: -6.25%
• 📉 All Time: -21.04%

Feels like a Red Wedding moment—absolute carnage.

Should I panic now? 🤔

The AAPL put is my only silver lining, currently up +273%. If AAPL drops further, it might hit the 1000%+ range I’m targeting for an exit. But let’s be real—if that happens, the rest of the market is likely in full meltdown mode.

Here is the portfolio status.

For the Sane Investors Out There...

If you've somehow stumbled into my madness, here’s a reminder: This is why most people should stick to index funds. The wild swings in my positions wreck my Sharpe ratio, and lower portfolio variance is generally better for avoiding panic-driven, irrational decisions. Also, here is my introduction!

Plan for Tomorrow

Watch and wait. Wait and watch.

I’m not blinking just yet. Tomorrow is shaping up to be another red day, but unless something changes dramatically, I’m staying put.
