Just what is going on I don't know. I write puts or straddles (if I already have the issue to cover the call) on high dividend growth issues like I have been doing for a while. I'm doing some refining of my model but not much. I also don't see any stampede to safety so is it possible that this is just dumb luck?
 
The markets are terrified the Dems might take the House.

agreed but why do my positions go up some when the market goes up but more when the market goes down and that is strange

What are you selling puts on, certainly can’t be chips or FAANGS.

are you the one that placed the 450K puts on AAL on September 10, 2001, that resulted in a >$5 million profit after AAL dropped ~39% post 9/11?
Great call on your part & the bonus? No one ever found out who you are since the SEC directed that the trade be kept'secret.'
You da man.
 
like I said high dividend growth companies. ANH, AINV, SJT and SSW are my current positions. I update my screen each month to see if I need to update my portfolio

Making a lot of profit on the out-of-the money puts?
