3. Positions Entered This Week #
- IBKR: Sold 5 contracts of UBER AUG 21 ‘26 75 Call (short call) on July 21. This covered call against 500 shares of UBER generated a credit of $1,547. As of July 26, UBER trades at ~$66.42, well below the $75 strike, and the call mark-to-market liability is $425, yielding an unrealized gain of $1,122.
4. Positions Closed This Week #
- IBKR: The PLTR JUL 17 ‘26 145 Call (long call) expired worthless on July 17. The entire premium of $921.05 was lost. This position no longer appears in the portfolio.
5. Analysis and Observations #
- Overall: The portfolio declined modestly. IBKR fell $1,810 (-2.18%) driven by equity losses, while Binance added $431 (+0.23%) due to a slight ETH recovery and stablecoin growth.
- UBER: The largest swing item. Shares lost $3,042 in market value, but the new short call contributed +$1,122 in unrealized P&L, offsetting about 37% of the share loss. Total UBER exposure (shares + call) netted a loss of ~$1,920.
- TWLO & BLZE: Continued to drop, with TWLO losing $536 and BLZE $145 in market value. No hedging in place; these positions remain at risk.
- PLTR Call Expiry: As expected, the call expired worthless, crystallizing the $921 loss.
- ETH: Price edged up from ~$1,842 to ~$1,854, improving the floating P&L by $378. The massive unrealized loss (-$53,678) persists, but the small additional purchase shows continued cost averaging.
- GRAM & G: GRAM retains a large unrealized gain (market value $749, zero cost) but lost $8.74 this week. G token is now at -100% floating P&L (market value $53 vs implied cost $637), effectively worthless, and lost an additional $54 this week.
- Risk Management: The UBER covered call is a positive step, but the portfolio remains heavily concentrated in UBER (33% of IBKR equities + 15% via options) and TWLO (8%). Consider reducing exposure or adding further downside protection. In crypto, ETH’s deep drawdown warrants attention, while G may need to be written off.
- Looking Ahead: Monitor UBER and TWLO ahead of potential earnings; maintain call coverage. Crypto markets are tentative; ETH’s direction will be key for the Binance side.
