NVDA
#JadeLizards – Played this over earnings out to September hoping for a down move since all the “expert” talking heads were saying how bad things were going to be. So, of course, stock is up 18 percent since the announcement. 🙂 🙂
Taking my small gain and heading on down the road…
Bought to Close NVDA SEP 20 2019 135.0/150.0/155.0 Jade Lizard @ 4.63 (sold for 6.00)
HD – Lizard Early close
BTC HD 215/217.5 9/20/2019 Call vertical @1.65. Doesn’t look like its getting better, so taking an early out before it goes to max loss (@2.5). Still holding the put side (192.5 strike) for the time being.
