$57 profit in JNJ

Happy Sunday!

Hope 2024 has been off to a great start for you! Unfortunately I've picked up some kind of bug which has not been helped by a busy period of travel, so please excuse the shorter newsletter today.

This week:

$57 profit in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

In December, I sold the Jan 19 $145 cash-secured put in JNJ for $69.

The stock actually rallied pretty quickly, and hit my usual 50% profit target in about a week.

However, because the market as a whole was rallying all throughout December, I updated my private community that I was going to move my profit target higher, and eventually paid $12 to close the position.

This resulted in a realized profit of $57, or 83% of max profit.

This isn't something I normally do, but sometimes it's pretty clear when the market wants to continue rallying, which means letting profits run a bit.

Locking in the first profitable trade (of many) in portfolio favorite JNJ in 2024.

Closing thoughts & useful links

My outlook remains the same as it has for the last few weeks - picking only the best trades and keeping overall exposure low, until volatility picks up.

I did have a new trade in TXN this week and I think there will be more opportunities as we're getting more companies reporting earnings in the coming weeks.

Have a good weekend!
