Every day isn’t a win, but if you can control your losses with stops and have a good hedge, it can help balance a down day.

Stopped out on CAT, but will look to re-enter soon as it clawed back everything it lost the day prior which surprised me. The infrastructure deal may be the outlier here to keep it away from historical trends, but May has historically been a high probability month CAT pulls back when preceded by a strong start to the year.

QQQ for a hedge on a pullback saved the day. Also opened 430 and 400 May puts on QQQ which will be red on Monday due to Tesla news. Went long 400 shares of TSLA in AH. Tesla shares were bought to offset it.

Entered GE 145 puts for May and 140 puts for June as well. Small size.

Need some advice..Pm?

Why the complex QQQ vs TSLA spread trade here? What’s do you think the edge is on that trade?

Or did you leg into this spread not originally intending to hold both sides?

The latter. I was in QQQs at the close and based on AH news, I added TSLA shares to hedge the Monday open.

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.
