(Got filled on the dip this afternoon.)
Still 2/4 LEAPs uncovered.

3 minutes to about 35 minutes is the main part. After that goes into the psychadelic stocks. Then after that more interesting stuff at about 40 minutes in. Some interesting AI info.

Cash Management
No option trades for me today, but I have been slowly transferring some cash from the Fidelity money market fund (SPAXX) farther out the yield curve:
BTO BND @ 74.325 (starter position)
Added more VTIP @ 49.71 (full position now)
(BND is a general bond fund yielding just under 4%)
(VTIP is a TIPS fund yielding a little over 3.8%, and is adjusted for inflation)
(SPAXX yield is around 3.4%, and will fall farther with rate cuts)
Eventual goal is to have the safer side of my account more evenly spread among those three funds.
SPX put
Sold to open $SPX Feb 12 6860 put @ 9.40

Rolled $XSP Feb 11th 693 puts to Feb 12th 693 puts, .70 credit. Tried to pick a low since this is decently OTM but we went even lower. Waiting on the 696 roll since that’s ATM right now.
