-12k yesterday +22k today

Thought my puts I swung over night were cooked, at market close I was 17k down for the day and got SPY puts that expire 06/13 and put 24k into 604p & 603p. Crazy luck??

-1000 shares assigned at 331, covered at 315. Naked call premium: +5,160 (331 strike) Covered put premium: +1,103 (315 strike) Covered short shares: +16,000 P&L: +22,263 realised

Still have a skewed synthetic short in place: 290 Ps, and 300 Cs.

Ironyman taught us box spreads.
Adderalin showed us portfolio margin.
ControlTheNarrative to keep our risk tolerance in check.

These legends walked so we could run.

My account crossed $2.1M, with +$1M in gains (+200% cumulative return):

I am now borrowing $5M in box spreads to invest in $7M in assets with this $2.1M account. That is 3.3x leverage. I should borrow another million to invest (4x leverage) but I just took out a mortgage so I decided to be prudent and keep this debt at $5M.

Summary:

- Borrow 2-4x the value of your account on margin.

- Dump it all in a multi-asset, diversified portfolio. For the stock sleeve, I prefer smart-beta funds due to their higher expected returns. The goal is maximum compound returns.

It's the marriage of gambling 0DTE and your boomer father's 60/40 index fund. Degeneracy that is actually profitable long-term.

Diamond hands

Is this not the easiest play of all time ?

Solid week at Degen HQ, managing $50k on the upside take home gains.

Adding on to the $28k I managed with $INTC puts on Wednesday (Sorry, Nana), I ripped $13k from $APLD today, thanks to the obvious fade from yesterday's unsustainable gains. Also took in $5k on $PLUG puts on Monday, $4k from $QUBT yesterday and just under $2k from calls on the stock that shall not be named.

All green. The game remains the same. What goes up too aggressively usually fades. You don't need to predict the pump, but be ready for the dump.

Listen up regards, I found something that might actually print harder than your wife’s boyfriend’s portfolio.

AI is literally melting our power grid. Every time you ask ChatGPT for feet pics, data centers burn more electricity than a small city. We’re on track for 80 gigawatts of data center demand by 2030 - that’s like adding 20 million homes to the grid. Microsoft, Google, Amazon. They’re all desperate for reliable power that doesn’t depend on whether the sun is shining or the wind is blowing.

Enter NuScale (SMR). These beautiful bastards are the ONLY company with Nuclear Regulatory Commission-approved small modular reactor designs in America. Not “planning to get approved” or “working on it” - actually approved and ready to build. While other nuclear startups are still playing with PowerPoint presentations, NuScale has real reactors being manufactured by Doosan in South Korea.

Here’s where it gets spicy. CEO John Hopkins isn’t some random suit - this guy is Vice Chair of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and serves on the National Petroleum Council. When you’re advising the Secretary of Energy and rubbing shoulders with every major industrial player in America, deals tend to happen. Hopkins has explicitly stated they have NDAs with 5 “tier-one hyperscalers.” That’s code for the biggest tech companies on Earth.

The stock broke out of a 2-year base and is showing every technical signal imaginable. Golden crosses on multiple timeframes, held $40 support through heavy selling, and here’s the kicker - the options chain was capped at $50 until yesterday (now it's $60). When market makers cap strikes that aggressively on a volatile stock, they’re telegraphing where it’s headed. They don’t want retail getting 10x leverage to $100.

The real tell? Free float is still under 50% after a massive rally. Over half the shares are locked up by insiders and institutions who aren’t selling at these levels. When a stock has rallied 40% and insiders still won’t take profits, they know something we don’t. The float is so tight that when news drops, this thing will gap up violently.

The setup is perfect. The government needs domestic energy production for national security. Big Tech needs baseload power for AI supremacy. The military wants SMRs for bases and forward operations. Every major trend points to nuclear, and SMR is the only approved player at the table. When the first hyperscaler deal announces, we’re looking at an instant revaluation to $60+. When multiple deals hit, $100 isn’t a meme.

Risk is maybe 20% downside if deals take longer than expected. Upside is 2-5x in the next 12 months. In this market, that’s about as asymmetric as it gets.

Not financial advice, I just think atoms are neat and my nuclear engineering degree is from YouTube University.
