Probably a pop because of the India tariffs news

Welp, that was a sharp drop. Anyone buying LEAPs yet?

Well this is humbling

I lost about half of my shares in 2022 thanks to selling too many puts into... well we all know what happened. I rode a bunch of LEAPs back up to recent highs and gradually sold them over the last few weeks. Currently I'm in 50% in cash, 50% in TSLA and waiting to get back all in and, with some...

Pre-market up 5.3%, this could become an interesting day

If the 1 sept highland reveal rumors are true, us folks with ITM -CCs might be in (more) trouble Contemplating closing the position.

You're welcome, I had been sitting on my hands for three weeks and just sold a bunch of $255 weekly calls so it started ripping

You are right. Maybe optionsprofitcalculator displayed invalid pricing data before the market opened? Or I must have clicked on the wrong expiry date. So it was too good to be true. I'm not sure if 2x leverage is worth the risk and mental strain.

I'm considering leveraging up by swapping most of my core shares for LEAPs at this point. I'm eyeing the 19th Dec 2025 $165 calls (delta of 8.09 at the moment). My rationale: - share price is relatively low - I expect share price to reach at least $300 again somewhere the next years - IV is...

I don't know. TL0 (I know, lower volume) was basically flat on the day.

Anyone buying protective puts for next week? e.g. the July 14th P200

I don't know. Locking up shares for a whole year for just $500 per contract? I mean, next week's 290s are ~$1.45 and that might be considered pretty safe.

Right now I would not be surprised if we end this week very close to 255.

Where is your god now, technical analysts? ;) Glad I closed my -230Cs yesterday on a hunch, for a small loss. Have a bunch of -255Cs open for next week. Not sure how I feel about those. As we say in Dutch: Luxury problems!
