Bubba’s Equity Portfolios Weekly Update New Trades 4/5/2025

ASSIGNMENT VIDEO

The cash S&P 500 was down 506.86 which was essentially a crash. The markets have gotten very oversold -but they can get even more oversold.

This was a panic sell off pushing the VIX over 45. There may be more selling next week, but expect a big bounce from these oversold conditions. The indexes are 7-8 standard deviations from the mean

We lost money this week in the stock options program.

1A -11881
2A -6269

Amateur traders are always looking for the “why” in trading when they should only focus of the “that” because we don’t know whys- but we do know the that. If a market is making higher highs and higher lows, “that” is the very definition of an uptrend. We usually will never know “why” a market does anything. Most losers in the markets think they must have reasons for making a trade based on all kinds of subjective junk. Not us.

Our method is objective, and 100% rule based. There is nothing to understand other than what the algorithm is telling us. Follow the rules and make money- it’s that simple.

Here is the formula we use

For a Long Position
Buy the at the money Call
Sell a Put Spread starting with the at the money Put and using the recommended
distance for the Put Spread

For a short Position
Buy the at the money Put
Sell a Call Spread starting with the at the money Call and using the recommended distance for the Call Spread

ATM = At the Money
Long Put = Short Call Spread
Long Call = Short Put Spread

Remember the Groups are only updated once a week, although we have new trades during the week, changes to the Portfolios are only reflected on Saturday.
