Happy weekend!
A short trade update this week, in a stock that has been in my portfolio virtually every month so far in 2025: AAPL.
This week:
$130 profit in Apple (AAPL)
$130 profit in AAPL
Even though volatility was much lower in June compared to April and May, there were still pockets of opportunity that I was able to take advantage of, like this trade in AAPL.
In the middle of June, AAPL showed a bit of weakness, which provided the opportunity to sell the $180 cash-secured put expiring on Jul 18 for $200 in premium upfront.
AAPL actually recovered fairly quickly, so I decided to let this trade run for a little bit.
I ended up paying $70 just 6 trading days later to close the position, meaning I realized $130 in profit or 65% of max profit.
AAPL has been ever-present in my portfolio in 2025, bringing in $1,077 in realized profits from 7 wins in 7 trades so far this year.
This number was $1,155 for the whole of 2024 from 11 wins in 11 trades, so doing a little better in 2025 (so far).

Closing thoughts & useful links
At one point this week this portfolio had no open positions (ie all positions were closed for a profit). It's quite hard to believe that it's happening in the midst of all the tariff noise that's going on.
Next week kicks of earnings period, at least for the stocks on my watchlist. Definitely will be keen to pounce on any opportunities.
Have a good weekend!
