Today, I bought back June puts, strike $150. I sold to open $23.5, bought them back at $8.3.
This is equivalent of selling, i.e. bearish action.
But the reason is that I want flexibility - these puts were sorta shure money, but it would take months for them to expire, and I've squeezed out tasty part of them already.
I'll use freed margin to either get more aggressive (sell $200 put strikes or so), or stay out of market if TSLA starts falling. I don't think I can handle one more ride down, like one we've had.
I would assume the timing of your conversion from shares to options worked out pretty well? It seemed that right about the time you said you were buying options was about the time TSLA started going up.
