As of November 28, 2025, our covered-call stock portfolio has surpassed the $10K milestone for the first time, closing at $10,069 — a weekly gain of +2.64% (+$269 versus last week). We reached the $10K mark a few weeks earlier than expected.
As seasoned put sellers, we remain cautious and do not rule out a potential pullback in the coming weeks. Favorable EUR/USD exchange rate movements also contributed a small boost to the portfolio’s performance. Good progress overall.
Additionally, at the office in Tbilisi today, we lit the Christmas tree and are officially ready for the holiday season.
Year-to-date, we’re up 29.94%, outperforming the S&P 500 by a wide margin (+16%).
As usual, we made no major moves throughout the week. Our previous NVDA credit spread expired worthless, and today we opened a new weekly NVDA credit spread. I also used a small portion of the options premium to buy an additional 0.1 NVDA share for the portfolio.

One of the primary goals of our covered call stock portfolio is to gradually reduce debt while maintaining a long position of 100 shares in NVDA. Notably, we earned $44 in options premium this week. If we can consistently average that amount, it would take approximately 102 weeks to fully eliminate our margin debt of $4,532. Reaching that level in under a year would require taking on more risk, but this week we opted for an ultra-conservative approach. Better safe than sorry — no need to chase higher option premiums.
For now, the focus remains on smaller, higher-quality, and adjustable trades.
Looking ahead to next week, I will be closely monitoring the NVDA $165/155 put spread. Should any of our positions come under pressure, the plan is to roll them forward—ideally for a credit.
