TQQQ,

STC March 15, 50 calls at 9.60 and my cost basis was 9.43 on the position. This is a long weekend and the inflation number was not good so decided to take my profit and run.

SMCI

#ShortPuts – I can’t resist…but I almost feel like I’m stepping in front of a Gamestop implosion. LOL Selling waaay down around the moving averages and nearly two times the expected move. Also prior to earnings.

Sold SMCI Apr 19 2024 360.0 Put @ 3.40
