Hello everyone, I haven't posted trades lately because I believe this is a relief rally, and the crash will resume, but that's just my opinion. Markets have been up nonstop for the last 2 weeks, and the more we think a crash is coming, the more up it goes. That's always been the game. Either way, when markets go up nonstop, I don't sell puts that are not worth much, and as mentioned above I also expect a crash to resume, so for now I'm out and waiting. No need to trade by force just because you want to trade. Preservation of capital is more important than growing your capital. Have a good weekend, Ziv

I normally don't post about individual stocks, but PepsiCo (PEP) caught my attention. Right now: - Dividend yield is around 4.06%, one of the highest in the company's history. - Stock has pulled back from ~$190 to ~$130. - 53 straight years of dividend increases. - Fundamentals are still solid, no obvious collapse in the business. For options traders, it gets even more interesting: - IV Rank is 34.5, which makes options premiums elevated. - This could be a good setup for selling cash-secured puts, or even running the Wheel strategy if you want to build a position. I'm sketching out a few trade ideas now, but curious how are others approaching it? Would you consider starting a Wheel on PEP here, selling puts aggressively, or would you stay away given the broader market risks?

Nothing much, I still think we're heading much lower, but in general, I'm waiting for the monthly expiration this Friday. I'll manage my positions by that point, and starting next week, we'll look at options for May. It was an interesting month for sure lol. Ziv

The feeling of winning in a bear market is much more intense than regular wins. The regular monthly hedge just closed. Black Swan Quarterly Hedge is open for 90 days which I teach you in the classroom course. If you don't have hedges, you are long only, and you won't survive long term. Take the course, watch the videos, and win. Ziv

Just posted a trade idea in the classroom area. A rare index play for $500 income for next week. I love volatility.
