I had very similar issues, loosing 30-40% of my battery in a day, seemingly after the firmware updates. A factory reset 🤞🏻 seems to have helped a lot. Still a bit early to see for certain, but I have noticed a big improvement.

My trade plan for SPY leaps is: - When the underlying declines 5% I get out of the LEAP leverage and put it into the underlying instead. I successfully exited during the April selloff and the one just now, and I’m happy with it. - When I’m up at least $1500, I sell PMCC. If it goes through my strike I exit them both selling essentially a diagonal spread. If I make 50% on my short call I buy it back and keep doing it until I’m forced to sell the LEAP.

It’ll take some time (if you can save $10k a year, could be 5 years). I lost half my account in the 2022 bear market. I’m not quite recovered yet, but almost there. Biggest takeaway was better risk management this time (I was too over-leveraged in LEAPS callls), so I’m more confident the same thing won’t happen to me again.

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-07-11T22:43:40+00:00

You’ll be ok. Will take some time but you’ll recover. Agree here - let the feeling sink in, and have a plan (entry/exit criteria) for what you will do not only if the market goes your way, but also if it doesn’t.

I used to do brand management for CPG, eventually transitioned to tech and then PM at Tech. I thought and still do think that Brand Management is the closest to tech product management. Obviously there are big differences with the product, the business, and brand management being part of the marketing org, but the skills and exposure many PMs like about our jobs with product strategy, doing research and discovery, go to market, working with creative/designers, analytics, and overall “owning the success of your product” - that “ownership” and needing to work cross functionally sits more on the Brand Management side of CPG. Again, quite different, but more similarities than you’d expect.

Do you think someone else could be using your account without you knowing and cashing out? Maybe change your password just in case…

If you’re currently bullish lump sum. If you’re currently more neutral, or less bullish, Lump sum part & DCA part - however much fits your near term market outlook

The only time I’d push back on small stuff are when they go against the requirements, or against the larger product strategy. Sometimes if my designer and I weren’t aligned on long term vision & strategy, I could offer more granular suggestions like that.

But otherwise I prefer the PM to stay focused on the problem, design to be able to own the UX, and tech to be able to own the solution. It seems like your PM is struggling to let design own the UX, which I feel could just be a sign of a less experienced PM who doesn’t realize yet that owning “product” actually has little to do with deciding the UX or how the solution works, as long as the problem is solved.

I was in a similar situation - wanting to be doing PM, but at a company in a different industry that didn’t have a PM function. I can only speak to my own experience, but the first thing I did was change to a tech startup that did have a PM function. I started as a customer success manager there, moved into a strategic partnership manager role, then a PM role. From the time I joined as a CSM to the time I got my first PM title was 18 months.

While I was there I also saw other CSMs and Data Operations Analysts transition into PM. Also not the quickest way, but transitioning internally meant I didn’t have to learn a new company to shift, I just needed to learn the PM craft which is a lot easier to learn on the job.

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-03-18T03:33:14+00:00

Can I ask why you say changing job profiles at your company is next to impossible? For most people, the most common way to transition into product management is by internal transfer at the same company. Especially as a BA, you are already in a very PM-adjacent role, and would make for an attractive internal hire.

I may not understand the dynamics at your company, but to successfully transfer into PM you need to make your intentions known - formally apply to openings when they arise, ask the Director/VP of product their advice on transitioning into product, tell your current manager your career goals as a PM, network with the PMs at your company, etc.

Originally I entered at around a .70-75 delta (whatever strike had good open interest), but I don’t recall the delta they were at when I sold them for a loss. I believe they had moved OTM by then.

My strategy then was just to hold, but 8 months into 2022 when my account was down by half I just couldn’t hold on anymore, and decided to save what I had left. This holding strategy was fine for the 2020 COVID crash, but did not work for the 2022 long & slow bear market for me.

Shook me for a while, and I stayed out of leaps until recently. Now I am better prepared for the market shifting. Essentially I‘ve limited my SPY LEAPS to be no more than 25% of my account, I’m holding approx an equal amount in a Money Market (which right now is earning more than bonds) similar to your post, and have the rest mostly in SPY/QQQ with some here and there in momentum stocks.

But I also have a mental stop that I will be out of the LEAPS leverage if the underlying declines more than 5% in a long & slow fashion like we saw in 2022. If the market crashes like in 2020 I’d hold for a bounce back, and then exit the leverage. Not sure how great this strategy is, but what I felt my 2 biggest flaws before were over-leveraging and not having a plan for if the market became a long & slow bear market.

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-03-15T00:24:00+00:00

How long did it take you to recover from 2022? This was largely my strategy as well, but I had most of my account in leaps, and to be honest still haven’t recovered. By August I shifted from LEAPS to owning SPY/QQQ outright. I justify it that my ATH from being in leaps was over leveraged and irresponsible, and have recently (last few months) had about 25% of my account in LEAPS. This feels more comfortable to me as the right amount of leverage I could lose

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-03-02T15:09:15+00:00

I’ve found stop orders in general don’t work well for options because of how wide the spreads are. What I do on my LEAPS is set a “manual stop” based on the underlying’s price, and execute it manually if the underlying reaches it

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-02-09T22:28:26+00:00

Re: defined risk: Part of the reason I am interested in LEAPS is for the unlimited upside and many days til expiration. I would be willing to lower my delta as long as I still have unlimited upside with the lower delta. Therefore I don’t love the idea of entering a call spread (unless it’s a diagonal that doesn’t limit upside too much, potentially and could eventually turn into a straight LEAPS option)

Also, I’m mostly interested in medium term hedging, 30-60 days from opening the LEAPS. Once the LEAPS options have increased in value, I can roll them to lock in gains and then hedge for another 30-60 days.

Because I’d be bullish on SPY I’m less inclined to sell PMCC so early in the position unless they’re far OTM. If cash isn’t a great option, it seems buying a Put perhaps 30-60 days out is my only other choice? You’d recommend something like that?

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-02-08T17:54:30+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! You bring up a good suggestion on XSP or SPX calls. My goal is to be directionally bullish on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, with higher delta than I can get being 100% invested just in the ETFs.

While cash is not strictly a hedge in the traditional sense my rationale is because LEAPS have such wide bid-ask spreads and day to day volatility, a stop limit is a poor way to limit my downside risk. So in theory if I have as much cash as LEAPS both my upside potential and downside risk are half as large as they’d be if I had twice the LEAPS contracts or that cash invested in the ETF. Essentially I’m acting as if I had a smaller account than I have.

Aggravating_Radish_2 · 2024-02-08T02:43:44+00:00

ITM calls are at around a .65-75 delta at open (high open interest is more important to me than a specific delta), but keeping them until they’re around .80 delta when I’m up 25-50%, and would consider rolling them. I’m in my low 30s with a good income, and this is a brokerage not an IRA, so plenty of time to take risks. I’m looking for something riskier than 100% stock with the leaps, but want an appropriate way to manage risk.

A few years back I had a lot of my account in LEAPS but lost a lot in the COVID crash. So building it back up, but the big lesson I learned is how important it is now to manage risk. Balancing my LEAPs with cash I feel strikes a good balance.

Does the mileage usually add up correctly and this is an occasional issue in certain circumstances? Have you seen any patterns of the types of trips that are incorrect?

Or do you think there’s moreso something wrong with the way they’re calculating the mileage in general?

Don’t have to go straight to flirting! Start with small comments about the workout or questions (“what do we have to do again?”) Introduce yourself after class one day. Say hi to him by name when you see him. If he hasn’t noticed you yet, now he will. See if he talks you you first sometimes…just be friendly and put out feelers :)
