Aug 6 Trades so far today @ 11 am (EST)
Here are my trades as of 11:00 am (EST). Most of my options trades are "Rolling" (Adjustment) in my position, so you can see the "CLOSING and OPENING" of the option. This is one of the simplest ways to provide transparency without only showing WIN PORN.
These are to roll the covered call UP and OUT. I believe these holdings can continue to appreciate. I don't want them to be ITM (in-the-money) Options, and I need them to stay OTM (Out of the money).

Here is the list of my trades:
Tuesday RED Market
The markets were mostly RED even after some amazing EARNING results from Microsoft and Amazon.
On last year's top 5 stocks RETURN list, I owned several of those stocks. Nvidia was on that list, and everyone knows #NDVA has done well in the last few years.
Original Article I referenced in my FB post:
https://www.investors.com/news/palantir-sp-500-stock-nvidia/
I found the original post from November 21 2024! I was thrilled to own three of the top five performers for 2024. Guess what, history continues to do well with these stocks!
The most exciting part is what was the top performer of the day for Aug 5, 2025:
This portfolio was green yesterday because some of the banger stocks that I hold were up big on a RED day. It's nice to know their time in the spotlight continues to shine.
Nvidia has become the largest company with a 4 trillion dollar business. Some believe they will enter the 10 trillion market cap within the next 10 years.
Palantir went from an overpriced 80 billion dollar value to over 400 B. Now, many analysts will not be surprised if it moves to over 1T in market value. This company has the feel of TESLA in the early days with all the SHORTS positions.
Axon (Taser) is still a small (or unknown) business. At 70 billion, it is no longer a secret. If you watch many of the POLICE videos on YouTube, you might notice their products are the ones producing the VIDEOS that you are watching. They are on police Body Cams and Dash Cams.
Rest of the week/dividends
It's been a busy Monday/Tuesday already this week with #EARNING release. AXON and PLTR were standouts, but the MICROSOFT and the MAG-7 earnings were also amazing. These will influence the SPY/QQQ indexes.
This week, I still have some dividends coming in $335. That is a nice way to round out the week.
Just a reminder that I am using 4-6 different ways to make money:
a. Long the STOCK holding. Hold and wait for the price to move up.
b. Get the dividend payout, if any, and buy more GROWTH-style assets.
c. HOLD at least 100 shares or a multiple of 100 so I can use #COVEREDCALL #options to get some INCOME while doing Method A and/or B.
d. Use Options and sell PUT (or Put credit Spread) for less than the market price to get some INCOME.
e. Adjust when needed - to make money if the markets are FLAT, up, or down. These all WORK together.
f. Find new businesses between 5B-50B that I want to add to my collection. Between 2015-2024, many of the position sizes were between $2K-5K bets. Add at least one NEW holding per year (but with the focus on one or two).
g. Using the 401K plan from work, use Indexes (ETF) to track the SP500. The goal is to hit 401 (k) millionaire status to show how anyone who is an "E" (employee) from the CASH FLOW Quadrant can make it. Your "E" is what creates the CASH for you to move into an "I". The goal is not for Everyone to be a "S" or "B", but rather to use what you are and MOVE into the "Investor" group. #CashflowQuadrant
Have a profitable day!
