Closed Positions

  • TE → $8 Call (opened on 08/27), premium 0.60 → closed at 0.10. Net premium profit = 0.50 (83.33% of premium captured, 6.25% of capital).
  • SEI → $65 Put (opened on 09/21), premium 3.00 → closed at 0.50. Net premium profit = 2.50 (83.33% of premium captured, 3.85% of capital).

New Positions

  • IREN → $52 Call expiry 11/13 (6 weeks DTE), premium 1.30 → 130/6000 = ~2.2%. I was assigned IREN at $60 and my current breakeven is $47. I opened the CC with a Strike of $52 and if IREN approaches close to $50, I will roll my position to $60. IREN has resistance at ~$49 levels.
  • SEI → $65 Put expiry 11/20 (7 weeks DTE), premium 3.40 → 340/6500 = ~5.2%. I continue my bullish stance in SEI with another CSP. The contract is within earnings which is due on 11/02. SEI has been doing well in Earnings and I am expecting that trend to continue.

SEI was identified from the High-Growth Wheel condition in the ThetaHedge app because it met all the key criteria: positive revenue growth, positive earnings growth, positive net margins, and consistent attractive option premiums with a Wheel Rank of 75.

New Positions

  • INOD → $60 Call expiry 09/25 (4 weeks DTE), premium 1.80 → 180/6000 = ~3.0%. I was assigned INOD at $60 and I continue my wheel in INOD.
  • CRDO → $240 Call expiry 12/18 (16 weeks DTE), premium 10.00 → 1000/24000 = ~4.2%. I was assigned early post the earnings slide. I am not extremely worried about the decline as earnings were strong, with both revenue and EPS beating expectations and CRDO holds good call selling premiums.
  • SIMO → $290 Call expiry 12/18 (16 weeks DTE), premium 24.00 → 2400/29000 = ~8.3%. I was assigned SIMO at $290 and I opened far dated call.
  • AAOI → $140 Call expiry 12/18 (16 weeks DTE), premium 8.90 → 890/17500 = ~5.1%. I was assigned AAOI at $175. Opened a new position below the assigned price to get more premiums and reduce breakeven.

I keep sharing my trades in my account and the Excel file to my full list of positions is linked in my profile description in case anyone wants to see the whole portfolio. Happy to hear thoughts on my positions. What are you guys wheeling or watching right now?

Trades I took today as an option seller (08/31) with reasons

Trades I took today as an option seller (08/31):

Opened Positions

  • INOD → $60 Call expiry 09/04 (1 week DTE), premium 0.55 → 55/6000 = ~0.9%. Was assigned INOD at $60 last week. INOD continues to execute well on AI implementation for its clients, and it is a strong wheel stock.
  • MOD → $220 Call expiry 11/20 (12 weeks DTE), premium 12.00 → 1200/22000 = ~5.5%. Was assigned MOD at $220. I am selling a longer-dated covered call while collecting a substantial premium. MOD remains an excellent stock in my view, as it provides heat-transfer equipment for data centers.
  • FLNC → $21 Call expiry 11/20 (12 weeks DTE), premium 0.55 → 55/2100 = ~2.6%. Was assigned FLNC at $21. The stock has sold-off, but I plan to continue holding it as the premiums are decent and it is also backed by strong investors like Siemens. I am currently selling below my assigned price, but if the stock approaches the $15 range, I will roll the call to my assigned price.

My outlook on the market

As discussed in my last post, I expect a consolidation phase with the market pricing in potential rate hikes. This could be a good time to continue wheeling, as theta decay can become useful in a range-bound market. I will be closely tracking the tickers where I have covered calls opened below my assigned strike price and will roll them as the stocks come close to my strike.
