Notes

- The SQQQ trade was a spec trade on the heavy down open on the 26th. The stop profit price was hit and sold

- Both XLF trades were technical spec trades. Both were not held long enough. Sometimes the risk level is not high enough in our trading. Profit was lost. 

- MVIS was a spec trade on earnings. It lost 

- The TLT trade was an over trading mistake and sold. 

- The INO trade was an overtrade as well and lucky to have a profit.

Notes

- We sold our position in Fuel Cell as we see an opportunity in Microvision. The sale of Fuel Cell was at $2.01, resulting in a profit of $0.21 per share. 
- We purchased shares in Microvision for $1.73 and sold calls against a portion of those shares for $0.15 per contract. We believe that Microvision is a likely takeover candidate. 

Covered Call List

- The Nov 2 Dow Component Covered Call List can be found here.  
- Any calls sold in the Oct 26th list (link here) would have expired for a full profit.

Week's (Sep 14-18) Metrics and Notes New Stock Purchase, Closed Covered Call

 Here is the week's activities. 

RevGen Trading

- There were no trades made last week. 

KDK Fund

Metrics

MicrovisionStock9/18$1.67$1.765.39%

Notes


- The September Fuel Cell calls that were sold expired worthless. We now own the stock again and plan to sell another call next week. We are 3 for 3 in the covered call arena and plan to continue using this process to build wealth. 

- A new position in Microvision has been started. We know the company is in a moment of figuring out its direction, with a sale of part or the whole of the company likely. With over 400 patents, and being a leader in the LIDAR space, the current valuation seems low. 

Charity

- The charity will be distributing funds in the next two weeks.

2020 Q2 Performance and Notes

Hello

KDK Fund is happy to report that it has had an amazing time of it since it started back on March 23rd of this year. The fund is focused on building wealth through investing available (financial, human, networking, etc.) capital to companies and projects that match its value and profit potential pillars.


Notes

- The fund currently has investments in companies that are working on providing value in the areas of Climate Change through Hannon Armstrong and Hive Blockchain, Cryptoassets (think Bitcoin and Ethereum) mining through Hive Blockchain, DNA Therapeutics through Voyager Therapeutics, Space Travel through Virgin Galactic, and an SPAC (blank check company) through Social Capital Hedosphia with a focus on non-USA tech. Previous investments included one covering Lidar, an important component in autonomous vehicles through Microvision. 

- From March 23rd, the fund has grown by 280%. There are a few reasons for this.
     - First, this quarter was the highest gaining quarter for the market since 1987. Most everyone made money if you were on the long side starting in March. This is not normal and not expected going forward.
     - Second, added funding came in from our partner KDK Options. The added volatility has increased their business. We are beneficiaries of their work as a percentage of their profits comes to the fund. Unlike the first point, we do expect higher capital funding from KDK Options going forward.
     - Third, we were able to find companies and projects to invest in that were hit hard in March, yet reached our target sell prices way sooner than expected. This allowed us to roll over the capital into other investments.

- We were also able to start the second of our investment goals; dividend paying investments supporting these initiatives. A link to that blog post can be found here.


We are expecting the rest of the year to be an accumulation period for the fund. We plan to incorporate investments that we will be able to sell call options for extra revenue by the end of the year. Good luck to all.
