ROKU
#ShortPuts #JadeLizards – Jade Lizard will go away today with a loss of 3.60. I sold the call spread side very aggressively in the money and wide enough where there was some upside risk. Main thing was to help if ROKU continued dropping. Stock recovered so reloading the short put side.
This is similar to why I sometimes sell covered calls below my stock basis to get max downside protection. By the time the stock recovers it’s probably a good time to load up the short put side again to make it up if you get whipsawed. Seems like I get back to even much quicker this way instead of selling less aggressive calls each week.

#CoveredCalls – My two worst positions of the year are now closed. Taking the losses. Not small but bearable giving back about 8 percent of realized gains for the year. I’ve always said realized gains are the best hedge and that’s paying off here at the end of the year allowing me to close some lousy positions but still have a great year.
Now only in 2 individual stocks so comfortable with that. Everything else is no more single stock risk.
