#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Jan 4th 4635/4655-4750/4770 condors for .95, deltas -.05 +.06, IV 12.4%
Condor from this morning expired. My error in setting up a close order led me to keep watch, and since we didn’t went lower than the morning dip (until right before the close), I rode it out to victory!

#SyntheticShortStock – Won’t bore you with the details. Not a big fan of the liquidity and the cheap market makers so bailed on the whole thing.
Lost .52 on two spreads.
#BearPutSpreads – Catching up on this week. Yesterday on the early dip closed long puts and left shorts alone.
Originally a 475/425 BePS @ 10.50 basis
Sold SPY JAN 17 2025 475.0 puts @ 25.40
Leaving Jan 2025 425 short puts @ 14.90 credit
Hoping for a little bounce now to get out of weekly short puts I was selling against the position.
Sold to open $NFLX Feb 16 415/405 bull put spread @ 1.47, short puts 17 delta. Earnings are 1/23 so I will be closing this before then.

Almost a third of the 417 respondents to Bloomberg’s latest Markets Live Pulse survey say they will increase their China investments over the next 12 months. That compares with just 19% in a similar August survey and is higher than the 25% who planned to boost exposure in March last year. After funds trimmed exposure to the country’s shares to the lowest levels in years, only a fifth of the survey’s respondents now anticipate cutting their China holdings. Chinese stocks peaked in early 2021 and have since slumped almost 60%, with the MSCI China Index lagging an index of global stocks for three consecutive years — the longest streak since 2001.
