I opened 4.0 share(s) $Alphabet(GOOG)$  ,GOOG: bought in some additional shares to average down and increase my share holding on GOOG.  The sell down on news that AAPL might consider adding AI services into their phones that might impede the success of Google search and other services which until recently was a captured market due to AAPL and GOOG unique tie up collaboration whigh GOOG pays AAPL a significant sum to stay a a default search app. 

I opened 1 lot(s) $AMZN 20250523 200.0 CALL$  ,AMZN: collect 0.75% premium from this covered call with strike at $200.  Contract expires in 3 weeks on 23rd May.  Stock touch its small resistence level of $192 and might retrace or breakout depending on general market.  Earnings already out so that took away an element of uncertainty.  Tariffs will certainly hit its product business but the web services and entertainment should survive mostly intact.  Selling new short duration calls to capture come premium but also aware the timing might not be perfect.  $200 should provide additional resistance to slow down or to break higher.

I opened 0.96809 share(s) $iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF(IJR)$  ,I opened $iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF(IJR)$ ,Take a look at the latest order I posted！ IJR: another weekly DCA into IJR ETF. As it stands, my current average is about 11% in the red so any new purchases as averaging down tv e total cost.  Hope for reversal, yet at the same time understand that it might under perform overmarket in current environment.

Still betting that $3500 resistance will be a strong one for now until new catalyst or weakness in the market push it above the level. In the meanwhile, sell new call to capture some premium on the bearish side betting that it will retrace before making the next big move.

I opened 1.0 share(s) $Costco(COST)$  ,COST: add another short positions to average up the cost of short on COST.  Great company yet at the time of very high premium paid to own this stock.  Seemed overvalued and didn't factor much of tariffs pressure on imported consumer goods that either raise price to consumers therefore lower demands or absorb price increases therefore lower profit margins. Full impact of the tariffs to neighbouring countries Mexico and Canada as well as rest of the world is still not fully understood.  Betting on bearish mood for a very high valuation company. Trade might take some time to pan out as long as bulls add onto COST as consumer staple counters. 

I opened 1 lot(s) $GILD 20250516 95.0 PUT$  ,GILD: collect 1.15% premium on this cash secured put with strike at $95.  Contract expires next Fri on 16th May.  Poor timing when selling this early of the trading session and GILD fell almost 5% for the day so the put were in the red for now.  Still have some buffer before hitting the strike price of $95.  GILD is still the market leader for HIV drugs and it's a pretty captured market providing a steady revenue stream amidst uncertainty.  Trumps hawkish RFK's on medisave and anti big pharma might dampen mood for this stock.  Will see how to trade this over a medium period. 

I opened 1 lot(s) $ANF 20250606 85.0 CALL$  ,ANF: collect 1.9% premium on this covered call with lowered strike at $85. Contract expires in 5 weeks on 6th June.  ANF is making lows and been bearish and had been down 65% off its May 2024 peak.  Since I have these on average of $100, will be incurring loss if calls ends in the money. Will decide what to do with it when expire nears.  For now ANF suffers tariffs headwinds as most fashions products manufactures in high tariff countries and also facing possible declining consumer spending should US economy cools. 

I opened 43 lot(s) $SOFI 20250530 14.5 CALL$  ,SoFI: collect 1.35% premium on these covered calls with strike at $14.5 Contract expires in 4 weeks on 30th May.  Sell another batch of covered calls to replaced those expired last week. Lowered strike to capture higher premium but still above my holding average so am happy to let them go if get in the money.  SoFI seems to form bullish consolidation after a strong run on earnings but then sold off on the news despite good results.  continue to stay bullish on SoFI and these covered calls are tactical to capture more premiums while waiting for price to move higher.

I opened 1 lot(s) $NFLX 20250516 1200.0 CALL$  ,NFLX: collect 0.7% premium on this sell call with strike at $1200. Contract expires next Fri on 16th May. NFLX loss some traction on news that Trump is imposing 100% tariffs on foreign made movies.  While it's unclear if that affects NFLX and how it's being implemented, the stock sold off early but eventually retraced upwards despite a bearish trading day.  This reflects strong bullish momentum for the counter.  Having said that, setup this bearish trade to sell call on NFLX. All time high and very sharp ascendency, with $1200 resistance band approaching, risk reward favours potential profit taking or if any bearish news that might turn this around.  Co

With BTC reached $98k in the most recent run up and then slightly retraced for the next 3 days, it had formed the current top. Setting $98k to $100k to be temporary resistance zones to formulate this trade. MSTR in turn touched $400 then retraced back down following BTC. Earnings volatility on 1st May had also passed and subsided so that removed some levels on uncertainly and allows me to come back into the trade. The last time I traded was contracts that expired on 17th April and waited till earnings is over and escaped the run up nicely as I tend to trade on the s
