Seemed like a good time to sit down and see where everything stands with the market at all time highs. This is my main account. I’ve got 3 more positions in a different account that I’ve been building on as well with similar results. Here we go!

Lots of various sized roll ups (20 total) eventually getting everything to 6800 strike

Total credit to close LEAPS (Tue prices):
413.80 each
4965.6 total
Loss on LEAPS:
4965.6 – 6294.0 = 1328.40
Total premium received including outstanding short puts:
494.55 each
5934.60 total
===================
Total gain:
5934.60 – 1328.40 =
+ 4606.20
===================
Since these positions were started in mid Oct 2024 the SPX is up 20 percent so I feel like this is close to a “worse case scenario” in a big up market with all the constant rolling. Still managed to keep 73 cents per dollar of premium received. If we get back to a more typical market and starting with a much bigger position size I’m really looking forward to 2026.
Merry Christmas everyone!
