Happy Sunday!
Today, Vivian and I will fly to Germany.
But as promised, I will show you the exact trades that I did this week 
I took 3 trades this week.
As you know, I was driving back from California to Austin on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I took all 3 trades on Thursday.
Right now, in these market conditions, …
I’m focusing on “Wheel Trades”
So I was looking to sell puts on quality stocks.
The first stock that caught my attention was Automatic Data Processing (ADP).
It came up on the PowerX Optimizer Wheel Scanner.
I have set my settings to scan for stocks that…
-pay a dividend, i.e. “value stocks”,
-have a P/E ratio less than 50, and
-have a market cap of more than 5 billion.
For the options, I’m looking for options that….
-expire this week or next week, and
-give me at least 30% annualized returns.
Based on these settings,
The scanner already identified several “value stocks” for me.
Now the key question remains:
Do I want to own the stock at the strike price?
As you can see in the screenshot above, the suggested strike price that gives me at least 30% in annualized premium, was 200.
That’s right at the lowest close of the last 8 weeks (our “lowest low indicator”), and looking at the chart, 200 looks like a solid support level.
Based on my buying power of 500,000 in this account, PowerX Optimizer calculated that I should sell 5 Puts for $155 each = $755.
That’s not bad at all.
A few minutes later, …
2 more trades appeared on the scanner
One of them was FedEx (FDX) and the other one Budweiser (BUD).
FedEx (FDX) Trade: PowerX Optimizer calculated that I could sell 5 options at a strike price of 200 expiring on Friday for $150 each = $750.
Budweiser (BUD) Trade: Here I could sell 19 options at a strike price of 52 expiring on Friday for $45 each = $855.
Total premium for these 3 trades: $2,360
Not bad at all for 30 minutes of “work”
But here’s the best:
I was able to already buy back the Put that I sold on ADP for 81% of max profit.
And that’s within ONE DAY!
When the market wants to give me money, I take it!
So I already closed the trade on Friday.
When the markets open on Monday, I will already be on a high-speed train in Germany, and I will connect to the free WiFi and see if I can find some more good trades!
Alright, I need to pack now!
Talk soon,
