Snap judgement
#Earnings #ShortStock Covering $SNA short stock, assigned at 170 on Friday. I have covered half, buying to close at 171.40, which makes that batch breakeven since the earnings strangle was sold for 1.40.
Leaving the rest for hopefully lower prices.

#LongCalls #LEAPS – Well that didn’t take long….negative deltas for a second time so booking it. Sold first batches of weekly calls aggressively and non-ratio’d just in case there was no bounce. Since it got the bounce I’ll take the quick 10 day winner.

NFLX
Did well on Friday selling numerous BeCS, only the 360/405 got me called away naked shares. Today I bought half pre-market 359.50 with a follow-up order for the remainder at 358.50 which executed within 5 minutes of open. Price dipped to 353.60 before recovery to 360 presently.

$SQ Sold my long Aug 3rd Calls at 2.66. I had raised my stop/alert to 2.80 after the bounce last Friday. Maybe too tight on the stop.
$NVDA Closed my #Supercharger @ 6.35 with NVDA @ 243.57 . Hit my alert at 6.50. Entered at 7.50. I may reenter nearer the end of the day. See how things go.
