This Week’s Trade Exits
As soon as I exit a trade, I note that in the comments of the post where I first mentioned the trade; at the end of the week, I try to track them all in one post. Starting in July, 2024, I have also been tracking them in this spreadsheet. These are the trades I exited this week.

No exits this week, as I haven’t gotten back into our core strategy directly yet (instead, I have sold puts on a couple of top names, which ties up an similar amount of money), but since I started this Substack in December of 2022, our top names have averaged returns of 16.65% over the next six months, versus SPY’s average of 9.33%. Here’s how our most recent weekly top ten names cohort to finish its 6-month run did:
Options
CELH: This call spread was a coinflip that came up tails—there was no catalyst involved, this was just a spread that looked reasonably priced.
HOOD: I lowered my limit price to $3 in the premarket, as the stock was down then, and by doing so, I left some money on the table. Since HOOD hit the top end of our spread ($100) intraday, I probably could have gotten out of this one at $4.50 instead, for a ~230% gain.
BTBT: This was one of two crypto names we put bullish trades on during last spring’s bear market. At the time, it was a Bitcoin miner that also staked ETH and had an AI/HPC (High Performance Computing) subsidiary; today, now it has sold off its Bitcoin, is planning to spinoff its HPC business, and is pivoting to becoming an ETH treasury company. Since ETH broke out along with Bitcoin this week, that has worked out for us.
