For the very first time since I started the #FallingKnife strategy last June, the overall portfolio is slightly negative (-0.19%), not counting capital gains I’ve already taken.
The portfolio tends to recover quickly on any market rallies.
For now, I’ll just collect my dividends and continue to average down with tiny adds.

T Stock
Here’s one #FallingKnife stock that I actually bought 6 times as it fell from to $25.83 to $22.50.
Wasn’t too worried because of the low forward P/E and the generous dividend.
Selling off the first lot today at $27.00. (and it just went Ex-div on Jan 07, 2022)
Next sale attempt at 28.00, just above the falling 200-day moving average.

CCL Stock
Sold my tiny bit of CCL at $22.38. Bought on 12/01 at $17.00 and was never able to average down.

TSLA June
Not quite a #FallingKnife with the stock technically still in an uptrend but with my short Jan 600 put likely to expire in a couple of weeks I thought I would take advantage of this increase in volatility to sell another longer term position.
Sold to open $TSLA 6/17 600 put @ 21.00.
TWTR stock
Added a tiny new position in TWTR at $40.00.
Hate the company, not sure if the stock trade works out, but fits my #FallingKnife strategy.
