With this post, I’d like to cover three things:
- Why I took profits on my QQQ puts;
- Why I took profits on my NVDA puts;
- Just how grandly I screwed up my AAPL trade
Let’s begin, shall we?
Yesterday, shortly before the close, I glanced over at my /NQ chart and said, out loud (even though I was alone) “That is so beautiful.” I hadn’t realized until then what a perfect setup the chart was, so I did something VERY un-Tim-like and bought a ton of puts which expire not in 2025, not in 2024, but next Friday (the 15th). They shot up 50% this morning, and I took profits quickly. So, yay, me.
Don’t worry, I’m going to balance that success out with a screw-up in a moment.
