Trying to bounce a little here. Take what I can get. Credit roll on a down day = free money!

#FuzzyLEAPs
Existing LEAP:
Dec 20th 2030 7700 Put
Daily:
Rolled: Jan 14th 2026 6925 Put
To: Jan 15th 2026 6925 Put
@ 9.50 Credit
LEAPs Covered: 50.00%
SPX @ Time of Roll: 6898
Naturally we are rallying after my fill, so I could have done even better by waiting. Oh well. 9.50 is still a decent amount of Benjamins!
XSP and SPY for 1/14/26
#FuzzyLEAPs
Rolled $XSP Jan 14th 692 put to Jan 15th 692 put, .83 credit
Missed the fill on rolling ITM 696 puts. Waiting to see if we can rally into afternoon.
Closed my third $SPY spread:
STC $SPY Jan 2028 685/685/725 LEAP spread for 31.20 right after the open (could have almost been breakeven had I waited)
Originally bought for 33.50 on Dec 11th.
Loss of -2.25 on LEAPs
Gain of 13.67 on daily put sales.
TOTAL profit +11.42
I now have one 690/690/730 $SPY LEAP spread I plan to keep open as a hedge.
I have ITM Jan 14th 692 put that I will keep rolling until it expires worthless, after which I will leave the LEAP spread “uncovered” with no daily puts.
I will also add a fourth and final $XSP LEAP spread when we return toward new highs.
