Week 45 Realized Gains

Week 45 Portfolio Performance

Market Recap

The market reacted positively to the lower-than-expected CPI numbers, and the news of Oracle finalizing its deal with TikTok also made headlines. The big news for me, however, was the executive order to establish a permanent moon base, which created a great trading opportunity in $LUNR.

My Week 45 Trades

$LUNR

I sold a cash-secured put on $LUNR with a $9.50 strike, collecting a premium of +$32. After the news of the moon mission, I closed the position for a small profit. I'll be keeping an eye on $LUNR for future opportunities.

$AES

I sold two covered calls on $AES with a $14 strike, collecting a premium of +$35. I'll continue to sell covered calls on my shares to generate income until they are called away.

$PSKY

With the news that WBD is favoring a deal with NFLX over PSKY, I'm looking to free up my capital from this position. In the meantime, I'll continue to sell covered calls. I sold two covered calls with a $17 strike for a small credit and also sold a cash-secured put with a $12.50 strike. If assigned on the cash secured puts, this will lower my average cost on the stock.

$BULL

I'm still holding my 200 shares of WeBull and did not sell any covered calls this week. I was unable to get filled at my desired strike price.

$MSTX

This remains my largest unrealized loss this year. With the crypto sector taking a hit, so has my portfolio. I still have 300 shares of $MSTX and did not sell any covered calls this week.

What I'm Holding Now

As of December 21, 2025, here's what's in my portfolio:

  • $87 cash on hand
  • 300 shares of MSTX
  • 1 contract of PSKY $12.5 cash secured puts exp 12/26
  • 200 shares of BULL
  • 2 contract of AES $14 covered calls exp 12/26
