2023 year review
While not entirely over, I doubt I will have a chance to do a real end-of-year post, so just going to call it a year now. That was a doozy of a year – nasdaq composite up 37%, nasdaq 100 up a whopping 46% (!!!!) !!!! My porfolio up “only” 34%, so honestly “underperforming” esp

End of half update – 2 months late
Well that was a whirlwind of a quarter, for both the stock market and for myself, as I started a full time remote job. I’ve been busy raising the girls and working, so didn’t get to post here since the end of the first quarter, so I figured I would post an update. Also –

AMZN earnings trade
With amzn trading at 2800, implied volatility at 46%, the vix at 30, and earnings this evening, it’s time to do a conservative earnings trade on them. In the past year whenever AMZN neared the 2800 line it popped back up: So a it’s possible to do a very (!) conservative ratio spread for a

GOOG, MSFT, V Earnings play follow up and daily post
So goog reputed and dropped 100$. But my earnings position in google really just stayed the same (-80$ for the earnings part) and is on track to expire worthless: And that’s the beauty of positions which are combined bear and bull positions, as opposed to just 1 way positions, bear or bull.

Initial portfolio overview
First things first, in order to demonstrate that I bring alpha, here is the YTD performance of my portfolio vs leading indices: Me: 5.64%, nasdaq: -12.82, so ~17% of alpha vs the nasdaq, which is the relevant benchmark to compare to, till now. And from the graph its easy to see a couple of things.
