Weekly: CMG SPY TSLA

Oldtimers might remember the cartoon Wacky Races, featuring Dick Dastardly and his dog Muttley. Each cartoon episode, Dick would try to cheat his way to victory, and each time his plot would fail. His tag line was, drats, foiled again. That was my trading week. The continuing rally in SPY and TSLA had me covered sold calls for losses. A drop in CMG caused some April positions to go deep into the red. So I was down a bit for the week, overall about -2.5% for the year while SPY is about flat.

Here are the trades (c = calls, p = puts, weeklies denoted by W suffix, W1 is week1, sell means sell-to-open, cover means buy-to-close).

 

Mon Cover TSLA Mar 210 c 620 about a 500% loss. Crunch. Telsa gaps higher. I am still short 215 calls and 230 calls, so I am taking my lumps.
