Very much a win-win week for me
This was leftover from selling it against a synthetic short position. Closed the short on the big drop now getting out of this and waiting for earnings on the 26th.

Every single month in 2024 just got revised down in today’s jobs report—by an average of -626k. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the BLS business employment dynamics data and the Philly Fed’s early benchmark suggest even bigger downward revisions coming in the next annual update.
