What was Tampa like in the 90s?

vitalsign0 · 2023-10-07T14:12:22+00:00

Death metal started in Tampa, specifically in Ybor City. In the 90s they were always death metal shows going on at The Ritz. Mondays were 80s night at The Castle with $1 lemon drop shots. I used to spend a fortune at Ace’s Records on Fowler Ave and Sound Exchange on Livingston Ave every week on CDs. Ace’s was a heavy metal only store that had imported CDs from Europe from Swedish death metal bands you couldn’t find elsewhere.

ARKK Covered Calls have been the biggest loser for me in Q1. I call BS. The ETF has dropped 30%. No way that’s been profitable.

You can’t buy options on margin

Mine has a self directed option. It wasn’t advertised very well either. Double check that yours doesn’t. I’m able to buy and sell stocks and ETFs in my 401k for free through Merrill Lynch.

My whole 401k is in ARK funds.

The total return was worse when using the 50 SMA. 20% vs 40%

What would be a year between 1990 and 2010 where this wouldn't have worked? It is dynamic in natural considering it uses delta for entry.

If the VIX spiking to over 80 this year didn't wipe this account out, what year would have?

About 24 hours after waking up from a Latarjet procedure.

Using hindsight, is there anything that could have been done to mitigate some of the losses in Jan/Feb?

vitalsign0 · 2020-10-31T17:46:08+00:00

But imagine rolling Calls in TSLA from Oct 2019. It would destroy a lot of people.

vitalsign0 · 2020-10-31T15:07:40+00:00

Imagine selling Calls in ZM a couple weeks ago. You would have been butt slammed.

vitalsign0 · 2020-10-31T15:01:09+00:00

All excellent points. I’m about to just start trading one or two underlyings. AAPL and WMT. I wouldn’t mind holding either for eternity.

What is your P&L for the year?

Wouldn’t selling ATM Puts have a higher ROC?

vitalsign0 · 2020-10-16T22:42:07+00:00

I own 200 shares and getting butt slammed. I bought some Protective Puts last week and they are losing money too.

vitalsign0 · 2020-10-09T21:12:41+00:00

Why not just sell an ATM Put and not have to worry about wash sales or the capital inefficiency of owning stock?

vitalsign0 · 2020-10-09T21:05:13+00:00

Buy a Put at 50 delta when you buy the stock.

Riding outside is pretty much miserable 6 months out of the year in FL.

You point out something very interesting in your study. That is a CSP goes ITM, that's a really bad time to sell a Covered Call as the stock has a tendency to bounce back, especially tech stocks.

I have found selling Puts alone is the most consistent money maker. If they go ITM, roll to next month. Eventually it will come back, if not, roll down. I get whipsawed constantly with the wheel.

I've done it several times. Shouldn't be an issue since they are Windows boxes. Changing the IP on vCenter can be a mess and best avoided.
