I’ve been using January 2026 as my go-to expiration, but with just 6 months left, I’m now starting to push out to March 2026. That gives me 3 extra months of protection, especially useful if we get the pullback I’m expecting.
Today’s Trades:
Microsoft (MSFT)
Buy to Open 1 MSFT 3/20/26 $520.00 C @ $44.00
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM )
Buy to Open 2 TSM 3/20/26 $240.00 C @ $28.40
Rationale:
If the market dips in the near term, the extra time could be key. These are high-conviction names, and I want the time for them to recover if needed.
Successful trading,
