#DailyLadder

Jobs Jobs Jobs

#Market The job growth just won’t abate… private sector growth way above expectations this morning, and market reacts negatively because it may signal continued rate hikes. Same could happen after tomorrow morning’s monthly report. I will not be trading tonight or tomorrow because of that and my schedule, and will likely skip a Monday trade as well.

Today’s trade is threatened but I did not stop out. The recent range has been pretty tight in terms of CLOSES…. intraday can get wanky, but last time the market closed in breach of my strikes was November 30 (I had stopped out earlier in day, so lost 4.00 rather than 20.00). In fact, I tracked all my #SPX1dte trades since May 1st, and I would have made about 13% more profit if I had followed a “no stop” approach, taking a few big losses but eliminating all of the small losses from stop-outs that ended up being unnecessary. So I’m analyzing the whole year to see if a no-stop approach would be okay.

RSX

Date: December 28, 2022
Subject: VanEck Russia ETF – Anticipated Liquidation/Anticipated Adjustment
Option Symbol: RSX
Date: ???
Background: On September 20, 2022, the Board of VanEck ETF Trust (“Board”) approved the Plan of
Liquidation and Termination of Series (“Plan”) for the VanEck Russia ETF (RSX). On December 28, 2022
(“Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.

As stated in the Plan filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit C to the
Application for an Order Pursuant to 22(e)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and dated
December 28, 2022, VanEck ETF Trust intends to convert all of the portfolio securities of RSX not already
converted to cash or cash equivalents into cash or cash equivalents. RSX intends to distribute all of its
remaining assets (after discharge of its liabilities and expenses) in one or more liquidating distributions
(“Liquidating Distributions”) on a pro rata basis to RSX ETF holders between the Effective Date and the
Termination Date. As described in the Plan, the Termination Date is December 31, 2023, subject to
amendment.

It is expected that the CBOE BZX Exchange will delist RSX shares on or about January 12, 2023, when
RSX is expected to make its initial Liquidating Distribution.

The Liquidating Distributions will likely be in the form of cash but may be in the form of other property as
described in the Plan.

Contract Adjustment

The option symbol RSX will not change.

Date: Anticipated to be on or about January 12, 2023

New Deliverable

Per Contract: 100 x the value of the Liquidating Distribution amount(s), if any, received by
RSX ETF holders as described in the Plan.

The Liquidating Distribution(s) may be distributed in the form of cash or other property.
Delayed Settlement

RSX options will be subject to delayed settlement, effective December 28, 2022, until the value of the
Liquidating Distribution(s) is determined. Existing broker-to-broker obligations in RSX options will remain
subject to broker-to-broker settlement.

Final 4-day week profit: +2.98

That completes 2022 for me. I found a pretty steady profit and learned a lot more about managing this strategy. I’m doing some analysis of the year to assess whether any changes should occur for 2023. I’ll place the first trade for Tuesday expiration this afternoon.
