#ShortPuts #IRA – Bought to Close NVDA APR 26 2019 165.0 Put @ .25 (sold for 3.01)
#ShortPuts #IRA – Biggest loser on my watchlist today. Selling a little more aggressively than usual but still at the expected move and at the 50ma and down in congestion. Most importantly, this is the week prior to earnings. 30 days out and just prior is one of my favorite sales. Get good decay and still have the earnings volatility to roll (or sell) into.

#ShortPuts – Best ticker of the year so far and hate to not be involved. I rarely sell puts on rising stocks but taking a shot anyway. Selling near the expected move and close to the rising 50ma for a basis if I get the stock. Two weeks prior to earnings also. This is also the level it could fall back to in Dan’s old phase 2 of a squeeze breakout. Wow…I’ve almost convinced myself that I hope the stock falls! 🙂 🙂
