The Super Seven
I have twenty-four equity short positions. Besides this, I also own puts on seven equities (most of which expire in June, and one in September, which means there’s tons of time). By definition, these are the seven charts I feel most confident will be substantially lower in the weeks or months ahead. I have zoomed in on what I believe are the most salient portions of the chart. Click on any of them for a larger view.
Oh, Dash It All……
I have tiptoed back into buying puts (as opposed to just shorting stocks), and one of the tiny number I’ve selected as my victim is DoorDash (DASH), against which I own June $270 puts. They are up 12% so far, and I’ve got great hopes for bigger gains. Below is the stock, shown with an increasingly long time horizon.
Let Me Put It This Way
I typically have lots of small, short equity positions (since has made everything past April 9th just a dee-LITE), but in one account I’ve tiptoed back into put options. Just three of them, all small, and they have to pay off before I get any more confident. These are all June puts, so I’ve got about half a year for something to go right.
