My Week 44 Trades

$BULL

I wanted to generate some income while holding this position. The stock is currently on a profitable growth trajectory, and as long as this continues, the share price should eventually reflect its fundamentals. While I wait, I sold covered calls at the $13 strike, expiring on 12/19, for a credit of +$8. Collecting something is better than nothing.

  • 12/09/2025 Sell to Open:
    • BULL 12/19/2025 13.00 C
    • Quantity: 2
    • Credit: $6.97 (Net)

$PSKY

I still hold 200 shares of $PSKY. I attempted to sell covered calls this week, but the order did not fill.

$MSTX

I still hold 300 shares of $MSTX. I attempted to sell covered calls this week, but the order did not fill. This position remains my largest unrealized loss.

$AES

I had $14 strike covered calls open from last week. As of Friday, these expired worthless. I will be looking to sell more covered calls next week.

$LUNR

Last week, I opened cash-secured puts at the $9 strike, expiring on 12/19, for a credit of +$20. I closed the position this week for a -$5 debit. This brings my net profit for the trade to +$15, capturing 75% of the max premium with more than a week remaining until expiration.

  • 12/11/2025 Buy to Close:
    • LUNR 12/19/2025 9.00 P
    • Quantity: 1
    • Debit: -$5.01
