Monday 28 April 2025 Morning Notes

Flipped straddles in CLS and CHTR, CLS for a profit and CHTR for a loss, which is a shame because I was up 40% in a matter of minutes in CHTR but didn't take it, pressed for more, and lost. I did buy a skip strike put ratio in TMUS, expecting further selling this week. I bought the wkly 230 puts, sold 1x of the 222.5's, and 1x of the 217.5s for $1.45. I won't be trading at all today due to construction at the house plus having the kids home for school vacation week.

Wednesday 23 Apr 2025 Morning Notes

Put on a small put ratio spread in MMM, buying the wkly 135 puts, selling 1x of the 130 puts, and 1x of the 127 puts for a $1.04 debit when the stock was trading around 135.60 in the morning. That trade appears to be up in smoke as Trump does another policy about-face, this time backpedaling on firing Powell, while also walking back his tariffs.
