Week 12 / AI-Fueled NVDA Surge Lifts Portfolio +2.59% This week —But Is a Pullback Near?
| | 30 seen
As of June 27, 2025, our covered call stock portfolio stood at $7,380, another g+2.59% week-over-week increase (+$186). Year-to-date, we are still down -5.50%.
This week, we collected $46 from selling options, what is under with our goal to generate at least 1% weekly in options premium (0.62 % this week).
Our portfolio remains concentrated around NVDA stock. On Friday we successfully closed a put credit spread on NVDA that expired worthless, allowing us to retain the full premium. Continuing our premium collection strategy, we’ve initiated a new credit spread set to expire next week.
I'm currently holding one covered call on NVDA with a $110 strike price expiring on August 15, which is significantly deep in the money. If we allow the shares to be called away at expiry, this would lock in an unrealized profit of approximately $4,700.

As of June 20, 2025, our covered call stock portfolio stood at $7,194, a small but important +1.68% week-over-week increase (+$119). Year-to-date, we are still down -6.18%.

Our portfolio remains concentrated around NVDA stock. On Friday we successfully closed a put credit spread on NVDA that expired worthless, allowing us to retain the full premium. Continuing our premium collection strategy, we’ve initiated a new credit spread set to expire next week.
Midweek, I decided to take a proactive stance and rolled up and away the June 27, $109 covered call on NVDA. The position was moved to a higher strike price of $110 with a new expiry of August 15. For this adjustment, we received an additional $48 in premium (net of commissions), and there's also potential to realize an extra $100 if NVDA stays above our strike price on expiry.
Our long-term strategy remains unchanged - we aim to…

Israel & Cyprus 2025
| Travel guides | 45 seen
At the beginning of May 2025, we embarked on a 4-day trip to Israel to reconnect with the Fischer family.
We explored beautiful beaches, savored delicious local cuisine, and enjoyed quality time together. From Tel Aviv, we continued our journey to Cyprus to attend one of the largest conferences in the translation industry. While Sandra was actively engaged in networking at the event, we spent our time relaxing by the pools, making the most of the sunny Mediterranean atmosphere.

12 Rounds Boxing Club in Tbilisi
| Living in Georgia | 187 seen
Sometimes even the most loyal gym-goers need to shake things up—and that's exactly what I did this month. After years of training at the "luxurious Axis Tower gym", I decided to take a short break. Not because I had any complaints about the quality or experience—quite the opposite—but because the price difference was just too significant to ignore. Enter: 12 Rounds Boxing Club.
Let’s talk numbers. My monthly Axis Tower gym membership runs at GEL 700 (they do have frequent discount and sometimes you can get there at 500 GEL). While it’s worth every lari for the facilities, environment, and perks like sauna, pool, and networking, I was curious to explore more cost-effective alternatives.
So for the month of June, I opted for a morning-only membership at 12 Rounds (valid from 07:00 to 16:00), which came at just GEL 220. That’s a savings of GEL 480—money that could go into protein powders, supplements, or even a weekend trip to Kazbegi.
To my surprise, 12 Rounds is a very decent gym. In terms of quality and cleanliness, it stands on par with Axis Tower. The…
Week 9 / Credit Spread Lessons: When Premiums Look Juicy but Risk Bites Back
| | 63 seen
As of June 6, 2025, our covered call stock portfolio stood at $7,114, reflecting a +1.50% week-over-week increase (+$121). Year-to-date, we are still down -6.57%, as we continue to navigate market volatility while optimizing our options income strategy.
This week, we collected $88 from selling options, aligning with our goal to generate at least 1% weekly in options premium (1.23% this week).
Our portfolio remains concentrated around NVDA stock. We successfully closed a put credit spread on NVDA that expired worthless, allowing us to retain the full premium. Continuing our premium collection strategy, we’ve initiated a new credit spread set to expire next week.
Unfortunately, I rushed a bit. On Thursday, I sold a new credit spread with next week's expiry, which generated a juicy premium. However, shortly after, NVDA's price dipped below $140, putting pressure on the position heading into next week.
This highlights one of the key risks with selling weekly options—they can be lucrative, but they're also quite…
Spring Break in Latvia 2025
| Travel guides | 35 seen
Every year, it’s become a beloved tradition for us to head to Latvia during the Easter school holidays—our special spring break getaway. This isn’t just any vacation; it’s a hands-on family adventure packed with progress, nature, and unforgettable memories.
In this year’s Spring Break movie, we take you behind the scenes of our latest trip. One of the highlights? We finally installed those massive 3x3 meter windows in our frame house—an upgrade that’s truly transforming the space! But we didn’t stop there. With shovels in hand and spring in the air, we also planted a dozen vibrant new plants, adding life and color to the surroundings.
Of course, there’s more to see—moments of laughter, hard work, peaceful countryside views, and little surprises that make each trip unique.
