$SPY 20260105 689.0 CALL$ Selling Covered call on this lot of SPY that was assigned recently after the short put option strike was breached, this is part of the Wheel Strategy, selling the covered call with strike just 2-3 dollar higher during early market. The current IV is relatively low making the wheel on SPY less rewarding. IV should pick up as we going into earning season, provided this lot of SPY has not been called away just yet.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ PLTR is taking a beating today as institutional investors are cashing out all this high running tickers on this new year's day for managing their capital gain takes. This dip may present a good buying opportunity as these whales and institutional investors will too need to get back into positions once dust is settled.
$ASML 20260320 1020.0 CALL$ Been holding this call for over a month now, taking the opportunity for today's spike to close it. Although it have a bit more leg to run until March, still decided to cash it in for this rare 9% run in a day. Looking to get in another mid term call when there's a scale back.
$SPY 20251231 683.0 PUT$ Last Wednesday’s late-session tumble put my 0DTE SPY contracts in a tight spot, but I have managed the "trouble" by splitting the defense. I decided to roll the deeper in-the-money strike to buy more time while accepting assignment on the contract that landed just $1 out of the money. With SPY currently resting on the 20EMA and the 50EMA providing a secondary safety net just below, the technical setup looks ripe for a support bounce. I am shifting gears to the "Wheel" strategy now and will start selling covered calls on the next trading day to lower my basis while waiting for that expected relief move.
$HIMS 20260116 30.0 PUT$ HIMS has undergone a massive reset, effectively wiping out the gains it built since last April's tariff-related volatility. The price is currently hovering just above a key gap created during that recovery phase, and I am watching closely to see if it needs a final dip to fill it completely. I am taking a more aggressive stance here by selling puts at these levels, betting that the selling is nearly exhausted and that a rebound is imminent. Catching a few lots at this "reset" price feels like a high-probability way to play the next leg up for the telehealth giant.
$QBTS 20260109 25.0 PUT$ The chase for D-Wave Quantum continues as I look to finally secure a position in this high-momentum name. I am still kicking myself for missing that brief dip below $19 back in November, especially with the stock now showing such strong upward life. My strategy remains focused on selling puts at my desired entry strikes to let the market bring the shares to me, but as the price keeps climbing, I’ve had to aggressively adjust my strikes upward to stay in the game. It is a classic balancing act between being disciplined on entry price and not letting a long-term winner completely escape.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Last Wednesday's 0DTE trade with SPY got into a little 'trouble' when the market took a tumble towards the end of the trading hour. Having 2 contracts all ending in the money, decided to roll the deeper end strike while taking assignment on this one where it's only a dollar in the money. With the share price sitting on the 20EMA and 50EMA nearby, the share price may find support with a small bounce. Will wheel this come next trading day by starting to sell covered call.
$IONQ 20260109 42.0 PUT$ I’ve been watching the quantum sector closely, and IONQ’s recent 17% surge followed by a total retracement is a perfect example of why this space remains so speculative. While the "round trip" in share price can be frustrating if you’re just holding the underlying, it’s exactly why I’ve been selling Cash Secured Puts at recent swing lows. Instead of stressing over timing the perfect exit during a spike, I’ve been letting the sideways chop work in my favor. Over the last two months, most of these options have expired worthless, allowing me to pocket the full premium while the stock essentially ends up right back where it started. It is a much more relaxed way to bank profits in a volatile market.
$RGTI 20260109 21.0 PUT$ RGTI followed the sector’s lead perfectly this week, staging a massive 22% rally only to give it all back just as quickly. Seeing the stock return to its starting point confirms my belief that selling premium is often better than trying to trade the underlying in such a speculative sector. I’ve been focusing on selling puts around the recent swing lows, capitalizing on the fact that these stocks often chop sideways over the long run. For the past two months, this approach has let me capture 100% of the premiums as the options expire worthless. It’s a great way to stay involved in the quantum race while letting time decay do the heavy lifting for me.
$QBTS 20260102 23.0 PUT$ The price action on QBTS this week was wild, ripping up 27% before falling right back to its previous levels over the last three days. This kind of high-beta volatility reminds me that timing the market in the quantum sector is a difficult game to win. Rather than chasing the run-up, I’ve stuck to my strategy of selling CSPs near the support floors. While the stock price did a full circle this week, my sold puts continued to decay, yielding solid returns without the headache of guessing the peak. Selling premium has been a consistent winner for me lately, turning this speculative volatility into a reliable income stream while the underlying shares go nowhere.
