Today, I closed most of my open positions and sold 4 far OTM covered calls on $HOOD at a strike of $102 with expiration this Friday. These 400 are shares I’m comfortable holding through any market downturns, so I’ll be a little disappointed if I’m forced to sell them tomorrow for a middling $120 premium.

And the potential for a market downturn is really where my head’s at right now. A recent video from Bravos Research laid out some solid evidence for why we could get a pullback on the S&P soon. Further, Tom over at FX Evolution has been waving some alarm bells regarding margin debt being at all-time highs.

For now, I’ve moved some cash into $SGOV and will await some confirmation of my concerns or be proven wrong. I’m currently up around $40,000 between my Roth and Individual brokerage accounts in the past 30 days. While the market is experiencing irrational exuberance, I’m constantly reminding myself that Buffett is still sitting in oodles of cash right now.

AmitIsInvesting over on X has been banging the drum on $GRAB for a while now. It constitutes my largest holding outside of $HOOD and $SGOV. I’m going to be watching earnings on this one really closely as I’d like for this to be a long hold. Currently in for 5750 shares and looking to add below my cost basis so long as the company performs. It being an international stock—especially in Southeast Asia—makes it feel a little more insulated against the fiscal irresponsibility in the United States right now.

I’m also hedged into precious metals to the tune of around $82,000. The split is something like 60 percent gold and 40 percent silver. I’m mostly into these for the same reasons investing in $GRAB feels more cozy than most U.S. stocks right now. However, silver has been manipulated for years and with copper recently going up 10 percent in a day, you have to think there’s going to be some movement in the metals sector soon. Gold has been steady around $3350 for a while now—should be fireworks when it moves.
