When I first started trading in 1987, options brokerages were literally four or five person companies, and it was a very thin market. I remember my first broken was called Benjamin & Gerrald, and when you called to place a trade, you’d get – – well – – Benjamin or Gerrald. Anyway, times have changed:

This morning, in the midst of an enormous TACO rally that was destroying bears all around the world, I did two things with my options portfolio made entirely of puts:
- I sold absolutely NOTHING
- I increased my SOXL puts position by almost DOUBLE
A photographer was on hand to capture me as I was making this decision. Since this is a family website, only the top half is shown here.

The name says it all! My portfolio value with this account has nearly doubled over about the past few months, and I intend to keep systematically building this up. It is a conservative portfolio, as you can see, with in-the-money puts whose expiration dates are months away. Click the image for an easier-to-read version.

Well, for anyone who lost sleep over my SPY $660 put options, it worked out great with a nearly overnight doubling. Below I’ve marked where I bought them with green arrows. I bought my first block (intending it to be the entire position), but after that lying sack o’ shit Bibi did his ridiculous “all is well” press conference and blasted markets higher, I threw caution to the win and DOUBLED the size of the position. The red arrows marked the places where I sold ’em off, fast as a sumbitch. HUZZAH!
