The other day I spent about an hour on Google Meet with a long-time acquaintance, Jon. We exchanged ideas around options trading. Jon walked me through his preferred structure - the Double Diagonal.I’m primarily a put seller and covered call trader…
As of March 13, 2026, our covered-call stock portfolio has decreased slightly by -0.63% and closed at $11,141. This is already the second week in a row that our portfolio value has decreased. However, the decline is largely explained by…
At the start of February, I capitulated. Ethereum had pushed our structure into a place I didn’t like. Too many moving parts. Too much sensitivity to short-term price swings. Too much reliance on margin. I made a decision to reset the strategy…
On March 7, 2026, I opened a short-duration buy-write covered call position on Ethereum. The trade was structured primarily for premium collection, not for capital appreciation.I bought 1 ETH at $1,982 and simultaneously sold a March 13 call option…
As of March 6, 2026, our covered-call stock portfolio has decreased slightly by -1.16% and closed at $11,211. As our portfolio’s base currency is EUR, the decrease should primarily be attributed to the USD/EUR exchange rate. The greenback…
Ethereum has been one of the most important investments in my crypto journey. I started accumulating ETH years ago, held it through multiple cycles, and even at some point I was holding about 12 ETH. Over time I sold portions at different prices.…
I first discovered the Magalaant Church Complex a few years ago during one of our spontaneous road trips to Kavtiskhevi. No fixed plan, no strict itinerary - just a turn off the main road and the usual curiosity about what might be hiding on the…
As of February 27, 2026, our covered-call stock portfolio has increased slightly by +0.27% and closed at $11,343. Last week was NVDA earnings week, and the stock moved the market more than expected.Earlier in the week, I decided to proactively…
Today we finally got it right — real Adjarian khachapuri at home. This was my second attempt. The first time I made the classic mistake: I thought regular cheese would work. It didn’t. The texture was wrong, the melt was wrong, and the flavor was…
At the start of 2026, we spent 2–3 nights at Lemon Tree Premier, Malad, Mumbai while returning from Goa to Tbilisi, with a stopover in Mumbai.We were looking for a practical option rather than a luxury experience. The price made the decision easy:…

Recently, an investor friend Rob reached out with a familiar question:“Can I add XDC and HBAR to my portfolio? Prices look cheap.”On the surface, this sounds reasonable. Markets were consolidating. Sentiment was mixed. Some high-utility tokens were…

Pfizer (PFE) is not a new name in my investing history. I was investing in PFE well before Covid, with fairly high expectations for the stock as a stable pharmaceutical blue-chip with strong cash flows and a reliable dividend profile. During the…
Like everyone in crypto should have heard about MicroStrategy by now. It’s impossible to miss it — Michael Saylor, massive debt issuance, billions in Bitcoin on the balance sheet, and MSTR trading like a leveraged BTC ticker. But what has always…
On February 6, I opened a tiny XRP trade. Not because it will move markets. Not because it will fund early retirement. But because it’s a clean, honest example of how a buy/write strategy can work even in crypto.Think of this as poor man’s crypto…
