#SyntheticStock #ShortPuts – After reading this yesterday I’m thinning the herd. Keeping synthetic and beefing up disaster puts just in case.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/graham-expresses-fury-report-xi-warned-biden-hell-reunify-taiwan-china

“Graham expressed outrage and called for bipartisan efforts to work toward urgently beefing up Taiwan’s defenses and military capabilities. “This story as reported is beyond unnerving,” Graham stated on X Wednesday. “I will be working with Democratic and Republican Senators to do two things quickly. First, create a robust defense supplemental for Taiwan and second, draft pre-invasion sanctions from hell to impose on China if they take action to seize Taiwan.”

#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – As usual my covered calls got absolutely smoked. I’ve been rolling the calls up and out and selling puts daring it to come back down. Taking put profits and buying back covered calls gradually. Would like to get as much of it uncovered as possible in case JP actually does cut rates (although I am still skeptical).

#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – As usual my covered calls got absolutely smoked. Letting stock go at a loss and replacing with short puts to get back to even. Last time I tried this I went full position with my put sales right before the last implosion. I’ll be more careful this time going with about one third size and hoping to add.

I’m going this route instead of rolling the calls to get cash back into the sweep earning 5 percent.
