$SOFI 20251010 25.0 PUT$ I first picked up SOFI shares during April’s market sell-off, but they were later called away when my covered calls went in-the-money after a strong rally a few months later. Since then, I’ve tried re-entering through CSPs, but the plan didn’t quite pan out as SOFI kept climbing — too strong for my lower strikes. I decided to take a step back and wait for a cool-off, but the cool-off never really came. The stock recently hit a new high of $30.30. With the recent pullback, I’ve started selling CSPs again. While my ideal re-entry point is around $22, the stock continues to hold well above its 50-EMA, so I’ve been a bit more flexible — opening new positions at $25 instead. This week’s contracts expire

$VXX 20251010 45.0 CALL$ VXX: Collected these premiums in full when these covered calls expired worthless on 10th Oct.  With the VXX spiking 12.76% after Trump announced potential new tariffs on China, and VXX close the week at $37.47, means perhaps more to come on Monday when market reopens.  This is on conditions on whether there are any new developments on the China Tariffs implementation. And most likely a positioning play ahead of their Tariffs talk renewal. Anyway, happy to collect premium and survived a suddenly bearish week and I'll leave the guess work behind.   Will likely stay off new positions for the 1st hour on Monday to monitor which way the market sways. 

$NVDA 20251010 165.0 PUT$ NVDA: collected full premium from this short putwhen they expired worthless on 10th Oct.  NVDA formed a long bearish engulfing candle that is 4.89% long, wiping out 8 days Of prior trading movement. closed at $183.16 for the week, down 2.38% and hovering near 20 days EMA.  Was glad that the short out survived this scare since it was sold few weeks ago when NVDA was lower.  Perhaps if market forces stabilise, get to renter trade at similar or lower strikes to continue similar trade strategies. 

$SOFI 20251010 25.0 PUT$ SoFI: collected full premium from these short puts when they expired worthless on 10th Oct. SoFI closed at $26.19, still up 3.76 for the week but significantly lower after Friday close with a bearish engulfing candle this is 7.94% long wiping out prior 3 days gains.  Conviction on SoFi didn't change and that meant I will likely eBret bullish positions on any further dip. 

$EWZ 20251010 28.0 PUT$ EWZ: collected full premium from these short puts when they expired worthless on 10th Oct.  Price close the week at $28.79, down 5.08% for week and the 2nd consecutive week of trading lower.  No further positions on this Brazil MSCI ETF so I'll decide if I want to trade into this again as the liquidity is pretty low.  I might switch to just buy the ETF itself should that situation comes to favour. 

$RDDT 20251010 210.0 PUT$ RDDT: phew, dodged a bullet but only on the trade with a 53% of maximum premium collected on an otherwise losing trade. At the early session on Fri 10th Oct, RDDT trades for the 1st hour above $210 which was my strike price.  RDDT price movement were bearish since gapping down on 1st Oct and was glad they was a moment of bullishness for Thurs close and then Fri opening hour.  That was the only sweet spot to take profit on this transaction. RDDT ended up closing at $198.55 which meant my short put will be assigned with a $11.45 per share paper loss.  While I won't mind getting assigned, being assigned that deep in the money and holding a paper loss certainly is not the better choice

$JD 20251017 33.0 PUT$ JD: poor timing on this trade but a trade committed is a trade executed. So will be working on the damage control strategy in the coming weeks to get out of this without too much scars.  Collected $84 (1.25%) premium from these short puts with strike at $33.  Seemed like a decent strategy to collect premium only to have market turned bearish fast on US-China tariffs fears that certainly impact Chinese stocks like JD.  JD closed the week at $31.72, down 10% for the week.  As of now, the setup became in the money, will observe how to manage this trade nearer to expiry, which might include getting assignment or to roll out further to buy more time.

$META 20251010 670.0 PUT$ META has been trending within a bearish channel since its last earnings. After that stellar July report, the stock gapped up to hit a new all-time high at $796, but since then it’s been drifting downward. Last week, I noticed the share price revisiting the previous earnings gap area — a potential support zone — while the broader market continued making new highs. With META lagging behind, I figured it might be time for the stock to play catch-up. So, I started selling CSPs just below the recent low — close enough to capture decent premium, but still with a bit of cushion in case of further pullback. The stock did slip back to Monday’s low but didn’t quite breach my strike, so the CSPs expired wor

$CRWV 20251010 118.0 PUT$ CRWV has been trending steadily higher since mid-August, forming a series of higher highs and higher lows within a gentle, upward-sloping channel. The share price was recently rejected above the 150 level — the same area as the previous swing high from early August — which coincided with the broader market’s pullback following new tariff threats from Trump’s tweet. Despite that market-wide sell-off, CRWV’s pullback was noticeably milder than many other tech and AI-related names. That relative strength suggests the stock is holding its ground well and isn’t easily swayed by short-term market noise. I’ve been consistently selling CSPs on CRWV over the past few months — even moving closer to the mon

$HOOD has had a very rough week. Last Monday at market open the site and app couldn't handle the traffic and went down. There was another issue midweek with buying power breakdown being unable to load. Then to top it off, a ton of orders failed on Friday during the Trump selloff. The Monday and Friday issues were not limited to HOOD, but they get the bulk of the criticism. They are the most visible retail broker, they are highly successful, and those two things will always mean they draw extra scrutiny. But the great thing about HOOD is that you can be completely confident they search for the root cause of the problem, figure out from first principles how to solve it if it's under their control, and implement those changes. The platform and product will get better as a result of these setb

Rare Earth Supply Shortage May Threaten Trillion-Dollar Assets. Here Are Rare Earth Companies to Watch Besides MP and USAR Background: The recent US-China trade war has spread from resource sector. On October 9, China's Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs issued several announcements implementing export controls on rare earth-related items, technologies, and key equipment. Subsequently, Trump described the rare earth control as an "act of hostility" and stated that he would use this as a reason to reimpose a 100% tariff (or higher) on Chinese goods and impose controls on the export of Chinese technology/software. The recent rise in the rare earth sector not only reflects the short-term trade war's risk-averse logic but also signifies the geostructural changes in reso
