The Roaring Kitty guy is doing a livestream tomorrow so closing for safety.
Bought to Close Jun 21st 17.5/10.0 Bull Put Spreads @ .29 (sold for .48)
NVDA
Wow! What happened? Nearly 90 points in 15 minutes.
SPX
Since these were only worth about a dollar and the market doesn’t feel like a big selloff is coming today (LOL famous last words!) rolling early to keep the theta going. More data coming tomorrow so still nice premium down at the expected move.

Added another synthetic short in non taxable account. I’ll be looking to close the one in the taxable account soon. Easier to do these if they are all together in one spot. That’ll be it until Sep when the Dec 2030s come along.
Added Dec 2027 5400/5400/5800 @ 202.00

Still in a long synthetic stock position. Won’t bore you with too many details.
Closed Dec 2026 190/190/150 @ 1.85 gain. Happy with that since I was able to keep up with the down move selling aggresive calls.
Reset to Dec 2026 175/175/135. Still selling aggressively against it.

#SyntheticShortStock – Been rolling the short puts out and down during the selloff. With the “V” shaped recovery I’ve been rolling them up and in during the rally. With today’s big bounce I’m bringing them back into tomorrow to get them back in play. Until today most rolls have been for small credits. I’ll take the debit today…still leaves nice gains and I can resume daily selling (unless we tank tomorrow) LOL.

#SyntheticShortStock – Played it not so good this week.
Had the 5240 sitting for today. Early in the week rolled it into Wed and up to 5245 at even. Was playing for a bounce on the numbers. That didn’t work. LOL
Had to roll it back out to next week 5240 at even. No harm no foul. Took a shot. Only downside is if I would’ve waited could’ve rolled it today out to next week’s 5230 at close to even.
Each roll down in the short puts adds gains to the synthetic shorts. If we really sell off might have to start rolling it a few weeks out and down. For example even with it 90 points in the money right now I could roll it to May and down 80 points for close to even. Now that would really help the shorts!
