I Collected 49 Cents To Buy MARA At $12. On Friday It Closed At $9.65
$MARA Holdings(MARA)$ Mathematical Money | October 11, 2026 $MARA$ closed Friday at $9.65, down 14.1% on the week from $11.23 and through $10 for the first time this cycle. It was an ugly five sessions for a stock that had already had a few of those. I'd been short puts into that expiry at the $12 and $11.50 strikes, sold on 18 September for 49 cents and 53 cents a contract. Both finished in the money on Friday, so the shares were assigned to me. I said in advance that I'd report which way it went, so here it is, with the arithmetic done per share because that's the only way to see it clearly. What it actually cost The premium reduces what I paid. On the $12 strike my effective purchase price is $11.51, and on the $11.50 strike it's $1
$MARA 20261030 11.5 CALL$ One of the fastest drawdown i ever had. 13 days of down in one counter adding up to more than 30% drop in the stock price. Most of the short calls are below my stock average price now but just purely for extracting premium (income). Cant do much, not gonna act like I could predict where the market wants this to go. Can only manage the situation.
$WDC 20261016 405.0 CALL$ Status update of this short term position: Short call at 415 - full profit of $5 Shares bought at 404 - lost $7 Short put at $400 - assigned. Overall profit $2 deducting away losses in stock Overall gain: waste of time. Lol. Anyway, since now I have 200 shares. I have a covered call against it. Trying to collect more premium in the next one week.
$IBIT 20261023 47.0 PUT$ Was supposed to be a pair with the ibit short. Closed that earlier and was anticipating a bigger move tonight. It seems muted tonight. Will close this position since the pairing is not around anymore.
$COIN 20261030 160.0 PUT$ Cash secured put. Putting a longer duration sell put on it, but placing strike at the lowest point of the "boring" zone. Refer to earlier post on the different levels I'm looking at for COIN. Will probably do an update again next week.
