Didn't actually have losing days tho - the heding and stuff makes numbers go weird. We no hiring, just me and one other regard been doing this for 8+ years full time. $2k starting capital :D

Yeah I got that feeling too today, market is just way too frothy. Sold most of my stock tonight, apart from the most defensive ones. At least I managed to sell tax free, cause of my recent OPEN debacle haha :D
I've also been thinking of selling a couple naked OPEN calls tomorrow or the day after rate cuts. Ran a couple monte carlo simulations for 12C expiring Oct24, those pay $2.20 ish. Just seems very hard to lose even with manual delta hedging at 183% IV. Thats a lot of cash for transaction costs, seems like positive EV.
Corning (GLW) up 20% for month, gaining approx 1% A DAY. Easy steady gains and reliable calls and leaps. I've been singing this stock's praises-- and honestly you should too.
Apple invested 2.5 Billion into their Kentucky plant. They supply phone screens to all the major manufacturers. Gorilla Glass? That's them. Foldable screens? That's them. Every new device needs new designs that are coming straight out of GLW's huge R&D budget.
They supply tons of optical glass for fiber connections-- that's data centers, to the point. The CAPEX is coming and it's not stopping. People need this shit and they are the plug.
Corning to $100 EoY.
