May 16 Trade Recap: $5K and $100K

Daily Trade Recap: May 16, 2025

Welcome back to your daily trade recap where we focus on consistent premium generation—not acquiring stock. Our strategies prioritize flexibility and time management through proactive rolling and credit collection.


$5K Account Activity

🆕 Sold: $WRD Jun 20 $7.50 Put

  • Premium Collected: $91
  • Comment: Solid premium relative to capital at risk. This WRD trade is another example of efficient cash flow generation with controlled downside.

$100K Account Activity

🔁 Rolled: $MU May 16 $95 Call → May 23 $96 Call (Covered Call)

  • Additional Credit Collected: $60
  • Comment: Rolled up and out to secure more credit while slightly adjusting the strike. The underlying shares remain in the portfolio, and we continue to collect premium.

Strategy Insights

  • Sell Premium. Roll Smart. We aim to stay ahead of expiration and theta decay by managing our trades with intent.
  • Adjust, Don’t React: Rolling lets us remain flexible while locking in time value. In $MU, we raise the strike and push the clock forward.
  • Income Over Assignment: Our goal is not to get assigned but to harvest premium systematically.

Final Thoughts

May 16 trades showed strategic use of capital in both small and large accounts. Whether it’s a clean new sale like $WRD or a smart roll like $MU, the goal remains: steady premium, minimal surprises.
