Reason for Opening:

The overall market is showing signs of a pending collapse that brings the SPX down to approx. 3700 - 3400 and will drag down LCID with it to somewhere at or below $20 per/share. I'm adding a fairly aggressive collar trade to this position as it's a sizeable part of my zones portfolio and unnecessary to ride the stock down another 30% without protecting against further downside. I have purchased an equal number of contracts of long puts as I hold stock (i.e. 1 contract for every 100 shares of stock I own). Here is the chart of LCID: http://tos.mx/YnVsTWB

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will close/role this position out if the drop to 20 has not occurred and we are within 30 days of the position expiring.

PROFIT MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to capture profits on these long puts around the 18-20 price level.

Reason for Opening:

***CORRECTION - Ticker showed LCID on this one, should have shown JPM, as well as an expiration of 01/20/2023 (That's what I get for cloning an existing position in my logs and not changing each section)**** The overall market is showing signs of a pending collapse that brings the SPX down to approx. 3700 - 3400 and will drag down JPM with it to somewhere around $108.50 per/share, which also happens to be a MAJOR gap that has gone unfilled from Nov 2020. As I don't hold the shares, but am holding LEAPS Long Calls, by adding these Short Calls and Long Puts, I've created what is referred to as a synthetic collar trade that will actually have me profitable as it drops and if it doesn't I can remove the Long Puts & Short Calls and continue to hold the LEAPS Long Calls for further upside reward. I have sold an equal number of contracts of short calls as I hold LEAPS Long Calls (i.e. 1 contract for every 1 contract of LEAPS Long Calls I own). Here is the chart of JPM: http://tos.mx/zi608aR

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to close this position if the price of JPM rises above the 165 price level before the move down to 108.50 has occurred.

PROFIT MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to capture profits on these short calls around the 116 - 110 price levels.

Reason for Opening:

Here's my chart: http://tos.mx/GNrbDB5

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to close this position if it appears that the /ES is closing above the 4615 price level.

I will look to capture profits somewhere around when the /ES collapses to the 3700 - 3400 price levels.

Reason for Opening:

I believe that we are in the middle of a much larger correction that will continue down until approx. the 3780 price level in the SPX. FB and AMZN are displaying similar evidence that a larger, deeper correction, will happen in those tickers, similar to what has already happened in NFLX and PYPL. I believe the move lower will likely begin very soon and have decided to initiate this position to benefit from that downside momentum. Here's my chart of the SPX: http://tos.mx/cc2El9J AMZN Chart: http://tos.mx/oGwxOHH FB Chart: http://tos.mx/sxiskRx PYPL: http://tos.mx/ftY44mp NFLX: http://tos.mx/0rBJVbJ

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to use shorter-term short puts as appropriate to reduce my risk, although this will be difficult as the move to the downside should be swift and bounce's - volatile. I will look to close the position and limit losses if the SPX rises above the 4610 price level.

PROFIT MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to capture profits around the 380 level in SPY, which is approx the 3800 price level in the SPX.

Reason for Opening:

This morning, MRNA received full U.S. FDA approval for their Covid-19 Vaccine, Spikevax. Additionally, it has found decent support at a major auction zone that I would anticipate continuing to hold. I like the equity to the upside and considered entering LEAPS Call options but decided to initiate a starter position with a bull put just in case it clusters around the current zone for another 1-2 weeks before rapidly moving higher. Here's the chart: http://tos.mx/9ZFVkIk

Reason for Opening:

As discussed in the Post-Market Review from 01/27, based on how the S&P is currently balancing, price should rise over the next 1-2 weeks up into the 4530-4590 price levels. Opening this position as a more conservative approach to benefit from the rise but still will provide a manageable exit if the price continues to cluster around current levels. Here's chat of SPX: http://tos.mx/att0nDT

ACTUAL PARAMETERS

Reason for Opening:

There is a good probability that LCID will fall to approx. the 34 price level before beginning another strong move higher. I originally purchased LCID at 44.50 and have already successfully used short call premium that has reduced my cost basis to 42.25. I am going to get quite aggressive with this set of short calls which may mean my stock gets called away. If that happens I would be nicely profitable still but really want to reduce my cost basis on this equity as much as possible due to the sequence that LCID appears to be following that will take it down to around 34. By selling the 40 strike calls, I am able to bring in 6.20 of credit which brings my cost basis down from 42.25 all the way down to 36.05, a massive 14.6% reduction in my cost basis! I sold an equal number of short calls to the amount of stock I hold (i.e. 1 contract for every 100 shares of stock) Here's my thinkorswim chart: http://tos.mx/Lyiw49b

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

If the stock is above the 40 price level by 21 JAN 2022, I will just let the stock get taken away which will still net me a 10.9% return after holding the stock for just 2.5 months.
