No new calls were written today. But 8 FSLY Apr24 25calls that were Sold To Open at $2.65 were closed at 1.00. This allows more calls to be written which means collecting premium$. Yummy. ISSC continues to be a thorn in the Strategic Performance Investments portfolio. Earnings come out May 20th. Hoping to hold $20 until then. Hoping for an opportunity to short more calls tomorrow.

Tuesday's options premiums totaled $2,528 to go with Monday's total of 1,190 for a running total of 3,718. Three separate orders involving FSLY executed. 4 Apr24 25call @ $2.65 = 1,060 1 May15 26call @ 3.93. = 393 5 Apr24 25call @ 2.15 = 1,075 Total. = 2,528 Monday. = 3,718 For Wednesday I am anticipating an ORLA bounce off the horrendous -10% day as I was adding ORLA May15 15calls at 90 cents. Target: 2.50

Gary LeBlanc’s Options Strategy (Explained Like a Teacher) 🧠 The Core Idea (This is EVERYTHING) Gary is NOT trying to: • Pick the perfect stock • Time the market perfectly • Get rich off one big move 👉 Gary is trying to: Make consistent income over and over again using time (options decay) ⸻ 🏦 Step 1: Own the Stock (Your “Inventory”) Think of stocks like real estate. If you own 100–3000 shares of a stock, that’s like owning: • A house • An apartment building 👉 Now instead of selling the house… You rent it out ⸻ 💰 Step 2: Sell Covered Calls (Collect Rent) This is Gary’s MAIN move. What it means: You sell someone the right to buy your stock at a higher price. Example: • You own BGC at $11.60 • You sell a $13 call 👉 Someone pays you money (premium) for that right ⸻ 🧾 Real Life Analogy: You say: “Hey, you can buy my house for $13 anytime this month… but you pay me $ first.” ✔ You keep the money no matter what ⸻ 🧠 Outcomes: ✅ Stock stays below $13 • You keep your shares • You keep the premium 👉 WIN ⸻ ✅ Stock goes above $13 • Your shares get sold at $13 • You still keep premium 👉 WIN (you made profit + income) ⸻ 🔁 Step 3: Repeat (THIS is the system) Gary does this: • Every week • Every month • Over and over 👉 This is called: Theta decay farming (time working for you) ⸻ 📉 Step 4: Sell Cash-Secured Puts (Buy on Sale) Now let’s say a stock drops… Gary doesn panic. He does THIS: He sells a PUT Example: • Stock at $11 • Gary sells a $10 put 👉 Someone pays him money for the chance to sell him shares at $10 ⸻ 🧾 Real Life Analogy: “If this house drops to $10, I’ll buy it—but you pay me upfront.” ⸻ Outcomes: ✅ Stock stays above $10 • Gary keeps the premium 👉 WIN ✅ Stock drops below $10 • Gary buys shares cheaper 👉 WIN (he wanted them anyway) ⸻ 🔄 Step 5: Create a “Money Machine Loop” This is the FULL Gary system: 1. Own shares 2. Sell covered calls (income) 3. If stock drops → sell puts 4. Get assigned more shares

📊 PORTFOLIO SNAPSHOT (APRIL 13 CLOSE) Daily P/L: +$4,700 Open P/L: -$4,324 👉 Translation in plain English: You just had a monster bounce day, but you’re still underwater overall. That means: You’re in a recovery phase, not a victory phase. 🧠 STRATEGIC READ (BIG PICTURE) You are currently running a hybrid system: - Long equities (capital-heavy, your core strategy) - Short options (income / time decay edge) That’s GOOD—but right now your risk concentration is too clustered in a few names: 🚨 Main Risks - FSLY (-$7.5K) → anchor dragging portfolio - ISSC (-$3.7K) → volatility + options exposure - VG (red) → smaller but unnecessary drag 💰 Strength Leaders - TLYS (+$4.3K) → huge win (you nailed timing) - ORLA (+$3.8K) → stable, doing exactly what you want - FIGS (recovering) → slow grinder - WT / NOK / LXU → small but clean gains 🔥 WHAT YOU DID RIGHT (IMPORTANT) 1. You stayed in the game long enough to catch the bounce 2. You diversified across sectors (retail, mining, tech, telecom) 3. You’re using time decay (your real edge) 👉 This is NOT a broken portfolio. This is a portfolio mid-recovery with leverage potential. ⚠️ WHAT NEEDS ADJUSTMENT 1. FSLY = DECISION TIME You’re down heavy, but price is now ~$24.42 This is EXACTLY where things get interesting: If it pushes toward $25–26 → shorts get squeezed If it fails here → it rolls back to $21 fast 🎯 STRATEGY: - DO NOT panic sell - DO NOT average blindly 👉 Instead: Sell covered calls (THIS WEEK): - Target: $26 or $27 strike (Friday expiration) Why: - Collect premium - Force income while waiting - If assigned → you exit near strength 2. ISSC = YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TRADE RIGHT NOW You already said: - Short call + short put structure (covered system) But right now: - Stock: ~$24.93 - You’re underwater on equity 🎯 STRATEGY: 👉 This is a classic “defend the position” moment Do this: - Roll your short calls DOWN (closer to 25 strike) - Keep puts working for premium
