Opening (IRA): XLU October 18th 71 Monied Covered Call... for a 70.09 debit. Comments: For lack of something better to do, looking to grab the Sept divvy if I can. Selling the -73 delta call against long stock to emulate a ~25 delta short put with the built-in defense of the short call. This isn't the greatest entry given price action, but am willing to add should the market afford me an opportunity to do so at strikes better than the 71 ... . The last distribution was .55/share; $55/one lot. Metrics: Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 70.09 Max Profit: .91 ($91) (excluding dividends); 1.46 (including divvies, assuming a .55/share distribution) ROC at Max: 1.30% 50% Max: .46; 1.01 (including divvies) ROC at 50% Max: .65% (1.44% including divvies)

Intuition stock $XLU longI need to make more of a practice of doing this, but I fight it for some reason. You can see prior ones were good for the most part, but I'm primarily just journaling this cuz it's working & I should keep track. I was laying in bed before I got up on Monday morning and asked for a good stock. That's all you have to do and let your mind be completely open and neutral. I recommend to anyone to try this sometime & just ask for a number after you think you have the ticker and see what happens. The first time I tried it (after a psychic told me to do it), I was quite blown away as I got the low and high numbers for the week. The stock was RS, (I saw/heard the letters mentally) and I didn't know of it, but thought it might be a steel stock because of other info I received. So it went on to go up hundreds of percent over the years & others have as well. So now I get XLU & the number 89. My dowsing said long and gave the number 91. I did get another mental number of 112. We'll see.

Utilities setting up?The daily chart on XLU provides rationale to keep a place on our watchlist. Recently it made a golden cross and seems to have broken free of a downdraft in price. Now it looks like the RSI could be searching for overbought. One option is a momentum trade targeting the $71+ price. Personally I'd like to see it hit overbought, then that a position of it pulls back down around the 50 & 200 day MSAs. Looks like with some patience there could be 15% out there depending on how things develop.

Opening (IRA): XLU April 19th 62 Covered Call... for a 60.31 debit. Comments: For lack of something better to do, looking to grab the March dividend here, which should be in the vicinity of .60/share. The top 5, options liquid dividend-yielding ETF's are: EWZ (10.90%) (paid twice a year in June and December); EFA (5.27%) (paid twice a year in June and December); XLE (3.78%) (paid in March, June, September, December); XLU (3.16%) (paid in March, June, September, December); EEM (3.10%) (paid in June and December); EWW (3.08%) (paid in June and December). Will look to roll out the short call on test of my break even, but will otherwise leave it mostly alone until the dividend drops into my account, which should occur sometime in the third week of March.

XLU short put exp Mar 15Sold the 58 strike on XLU yesterday afternoon. It hit a weekly level and looked like it wanted to stop selling with small candles on the down move. Kind of in between the higher time frame declining -1 sig and the rising -1 sig with the best inflection point on VWAP. It's that weekly rejection that I'm anticipating happening. The strike is positioned at 58 which is a weekly level 2 down. There's another one closer in at 59.31 that I'm thinking will play some defense. ################################# Symbol XLU Open Date 1/18/2024 Put or Call Put Expiry Date 3/15/2024 Short Strike 58 Long Strike 57 Price to Open 0.16 Min Width Multiple 2 Risk Ratio 5.25 Return on Risk 19.0% Opening DTE 57 1 Day ROI% 0.33% Max Annual ROI % 122.0% Buyback to Close Open to Roll Closing % Cost on Opening Credit Net Roll % on Opening Credit Closing Date Closing Price Closed Margin ROI % Closed Annual ROI %

XLU Utilities making a clear statement to Sellers.Utilities (XLU) almost hit this month the Higher Lows trend-line that has been holding for exactly 21 years (since October 2002) and immediately responded with a strong rebound that has already turned the 1M candle green. All this price action taking place in less than 2 weeks, which indicates considerable market movement. Amidst of all that, it broke below the 1M MA100 (green trend-line) for the first time since the COVID crash (March 2020). If it manages to close the month above it, it will be a strong statement towards all direction that the sector considers this level a Support and possibly the end of the Inflation Crisis. Watch closely and you will see that this and the COVID crises are connected with a Higher Highs trend-line, similar to how the DotCom and Housing crises where in the 2000s. Technically this is a straight Higher Highs trend-line that connects all Highs and places the last 21 years of market into a Mega Rising Wedge pattern. The 1M RSI is on a Lower Lows trend-line, which indicates a natural deceleration of the trend but as long as it holds, it sustains it. And right now it is exactly on that trend-line. Do you think this can be a strong message to sellers? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
