Yesterday was still a holiday up here so while I travelled I pulled in premium from the daily 6700 calls for $5.10 and 6600 puts for $4.10. Overnight I got filled on the daily 6720 calls for $5.10 and this morning I am averaging my sells on the daily 6550 puts for $7.10 as everyone is nervous about tonight but should they be.....Going to be interesting and I wouldn't sell puts overnight but its surprising more people aren't selling the market off even more in anticipation. For that matter I wouldn't sell calls either because we could see some huge swings for sure. Nice thing about selling daily options is you trade them overnight and they expire at 4:00 est every time. What is even more interesting is that the growing credit problem isn't being talked about either!! Going to be a fun day and night for sure, I would add to my oil short here if I did that personally as all of this rhetoric talk doesn't make sense when you look at it from a logical viewpoint lol!!

I want return OF my money more than return ON my money

What a week to make easy cash! As I posted before, I bought SPX index funds all last week, guessing end of Iran war was close. But my trading is always long term (1 year+ for long term cap gains) so hoping the markets will see new highs during 2026.

Well what a shock, were up this morning lol!! Didn't quite expect it to be quite this high so we'll see how the day goes. Unfortunately for the first time this year I was forced to cover my sold daily 6800's for a $20 loss but now I'm selling the 6850 daily calls for $11.50 as calls are pricing the market to the moon right now so we'll see. Of course this is pure reactionary and unless the strait is opened as they say it will, we'll be right back at it. Today's close will be important to watch to see when reality starts to hit about other things as I still believe volatility will remain in this market.

I've already entered my SSTs in the Futes,GTC. We'll see long this truce lasts. I've said many times on this board, I keep my triggers (going both ways) in at all times. I don't go to sleep at night without them. (JMHO)
