With Donald Trump inaugurated on January 20th, Bitcoin's recent rally above $100,000 has caught the attention of crypto enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Trump's perceived support for cryptocurrency may have contributed to the surge in optimism. However, the bigger question remains: will Bitcoin sustain its rally, or will it experience a "sell the fact" scenario where prices decline after the hype subsides? Factors Supporting Bitcoin's Rally Perceived Pro-Crypto Sentiment from Trump Donald Trump, once a vocal critic of Bitcoin, has shown signs of a more crypto-friendly stance in recent years. His return to prominence has sparked speculation that regulatory pressures on the crypto industry might ease, creating a more favorable environment for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

I opened $MBLY 20250131 20.0 CALL$ ,Sold this covered call after getting assigned on Friday Jan 17 at $20. Sold it at cost and plan to hold until price recovers. Earnings coming soon on Jan 30 so that might move the stock either direction.
I opened $FrogAds, Inc.(FROG)$ ,Open new positions on FROG. Stock just broke out of its 200 days MA line and retraces to support. It this hold up, think it might have further upside.
I closed $SOFI 20250117 13.5 PUT$ ,Pocketed all my premiums when these trades expired on Fri. Happy to start new trade again when market reopens. SOFI had move up pretty aggressively the whole of last week. So the sold puts were all doing pretty well.
I opened $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ ,AMZN: sold off Amazon at $225 as part of covered call that close in the money on Friday 18th Jan. It closes at $225.94 so it's slightly in the money, with the amount of premium collected, it's a good trade. Will look to reenter this counter sometime this week and continue trading it. I think it still have some legs up with more pro business environment in coming years.
I closed $CVS 20250117 48.0 CALL$ ,CVS: collected full premium from this covered call but the stock were called away at $48 as it expired in the money at closing. CVS rose 20% from its Dec lows and trades above my strike price. Had meant to clear my holdings of CVS so took the loss of capital of 36% on the stocks portfolio and recycle the cash for other trades.
I opened $Wolfspeed Inc.(WOLF)$ ,WOLF: bought in shares at $7 as part of cash secured puts that closed in the money at closing. WOLF trades at $6.28 and sentiments are weak right now. Trades as low as $4.66 so knew these cash secured puts won't survive and will get assigned. Decided to buy them in instead of rolling and start accumulating on the sub $10 range. Time will decide if this is suicide or brilliant. Have few other cash secured puts trades on WOLF at various strikes and expiry dates.
I closed $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ ,MSTR: sold my holdings at $340 as part of my covered calls that went in the money at closing. By all counts, this is a badly timed trades. MSTR closed at $$396.5 so I've forgo $5650 profits just for this 1 sold call contract. However, potential profit on hindsight could cloud my judgement. I've sold cash secured puts at $340 and MSTR went below, got assigned and resold the week after at cost $340 and got exercised. Collected decent premiums from the cash secured puts and covered calls all within the same month and freed up all my capital back for other trades, so I'm considering this a big win for options wheel strategy.
$LIONTOWN RESOURCES LTD(LTR.AU)$ is on the way up. 2024 results were very promising, with increased production, and a shift in minerals mined, due to the continued low lithium prices. Linton is adapting to cover operating costs, and provide multiple streams of revenue. Nice work Liontown, I like your operating model.
I closed $ALB.HK 20250127 80.00 PUT$ ,Finally able to close this with a big jump in BABA . Close to expiry but I wasn't sure how long this run will go on after today

Verizon $Verizon(VZ)$ is on my watchlist and I maintain a bullish outlook on the stock. The telecom giant demonstrated wireless service sales growth in Q3, despite being burdened by significant debt. With a dividend yield exceeding 7% at the current price, Verizon's robust financial profile should sustain—and potentially increase—its payout. Multiple upside catalysts further enhance its appeal. I anticipate the company will meet or slightly exceed the market consensus EPS of $1.09, driven by its stable core business and cost efficiency efforts. $VZ 20250417 37.0 CALL$
