As I recount my 5-year journey in the world of Vertical Bull Put Credit Spreads, I liken the strategy to the seductive but ultimately unfulfilling Mrs. Robinson. I shared my struggles, doubts, and moments of despair. Yet, small victories always rekindled my hopes, and I kept searching for my own “Options Income” of success. But now is the time to say, “Goodbye, Mrs. Robinson.”

With the US deficit approaching $2 trillion this year, inflation at a gut-buster 17.5% above 2020’s consumer prices, interest rates at a stifling 5.25%, expanding military involvement in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, a dangerously polarized population, a politically dysfunctional Congress, and the uncertainty of another scorching election-year rematch between Biden and Trump. Why bother selling Vertical Bull Put Credit Spreads?

In this month’s Trade Journal post, I want to explore what to expect when my TdAmeritrade accounts are transferred to the Charles Schwab platform. There’s going to be a little sphincter tightening for me until the transfers are completed.

Today, the S&P 500 is only 4% away from our pre-COVID high of 4,776 – the start of all this market management lunacy. Any new Vertical Bull Put Credit Spread I open in the next couple of months will hopefully trigger my exit rules long before the one-year expiration dates. The Economic Outlook for my 2023 Vertical Spreads looks pretty good.

Woo-Hoo! Better than sex! Better than chocolate! Better than the S&P 500!

My CND compels me to measure my Options income to gauge whether I’m making money or wasting my time. After a year of ill-reporting my P&L, I made one minor D’oh correction. I’m now relieved to see that my Vertical Bull Put Credit Spreads ARE outperforming the S&P 500.
