NVDA

#ShortStrangles – Been looking to get back in this thing. Self driving technology put on hold temporarily is the rumor. Selling strangles 30 days out and before earnings. Puts below the 200ma and calls well above all time highs.

Sold NVDA APR 27 2018 195.0/265.0 Strangles @ 4.15

  I’ve had pretty good luck with these. Wait for some bad news and see what premium is available below support. At the same time throw some calls out well above all the old congestion and clutter. No guarantees but pretty good odds….staying small enough to manage if needed.

apparently the first pedestrian fatality occurred from a self driving car last weekend.

  Saw that. A reminder not to wear dark clothes and cross a highway in a poorly lighted area at night while pushing a bicycle!

    From the video of it, it looked like the pedestrian was just assuming traffic would stop for her. Car was going pretty fast and she appeared so suddenly. Still, I don’t get why sensors on the side of the car didn’t detect it.

      Definitely a failure somewhere including the person monitoring the autopilot. I never assume a car will stop for me and at work I never just assume my autopilot will do what it’s supposed to. Gonna need a lot more discipline from the masses for this tech to ever be truly fail safe.
