Trading Update

I needed to park my cash somewhere while I figure out what to do next, so I sold a few longer term Puts. The choice was driven by Intrinsic Volatility (IV), once the IV goes down, I am hoping to buy the Puts back at a lower price resulting in a little bit of profit for me. All of these are Cash Secured Puts.

  • Sold 2 SOFI $10 Puts
    • 1 Expiring 6/18/2026 resulting in a premium of $203
    • 1 Expiring 9/19/2025 resulting in a premium of $118
