Analysis & Observations
#

  • UBER: Stock rebounded strongly (+$1,460 in market value). The short call was rolled from Aug to Sep, incurring a small loss on the buyback but positioning for further upside. The stock remains the largest single equity position.
  • TWLO: Closed the iron condor and opened a put spread. The new spread currently shows a net P&L of -$1,607 (long put +$3,739, short put -$5,346). This is a bearish bet, but the short put is at a higher strike (240) than the long put (230), creating a credit spread. The loss on the short put is due to rising implied volatility or price movement; monitor closely.
  • SPCX: Bear call spread improved slightly (+$166) as the underlying likely moved favorably. Still at a loss, but recovering.
  • BLZE: Stock dropped further, but the expired call premium helped offset some loss. The position remains underwater.
  • Binance: WBETH surged (+$16.2K), driving most of the portfolio gain. GRAM and EURI also contributed modestly. G remains deeply negative but improved slightly.
  • Overall: The portfolio benefited from crypto strength and UBER’s recovery, but option positions on TWLO and UBER require active management. Consider adjusting the TWLO put spread if the short put approaches the money.
