Day 8
Foolish Trader Journal, Day 8
I had no good ideas to act on today. Yet, I executed one since it felt dull keeping all this capital not under any sort of risk.
Portfolio Overview
- Market Value: $11,900
- Cash: $500
- Options Collateral: $11,400

Today's Trades
- Sold NVDA $109 Put
- NVDA seems to have maybe temporarily found itself in a pullback.
- NVDA has fallen ~14% in the past week, I bet 11K that it will not fall > 5% in 3 days (it absolutely can!) since it is already down quite a lot.
- I would want to exit this position in 1 day if possible. I have a strong feeling that if NVDA does get down to $109 and I get assignment, I would think it just keeps falling further down, and possibly reach $80. In fact, I may look to buy some Feb 28 Puts.
Ongoing Positions
Microsoft (MSFT) Trades
- I had not expected this trade to have lasted for so long. The trade has now been open for 5 days, I don't think this level will be tested again so I am holding on. Let's see if I can get out tomorrow.
- $420 / $415 Put Credit Spread
- 13 delta option
- Received $45 premium
- Potential 9% return if trade succeeds
- Maximum risk: $500
Palantir (PLTR) Trades
- PLTR $50 Put, Expiring 1/31
- Hedge
- Potential Strategy: Let it expire, or roll for another month if I own a CSP or get assignment
