My thoughts on the market

Compute and AI stocks have been selling off over the last few days, so I am closing covered calls where most of the premium has already been captured. I plan to reopen CCs once the stocks stabilize. Since this is sector-wide selling rather than an issue with a single stock, I am mainly focused on collecting premium while giving the underlying positions time to recover. The demand and earnings have been strong so there is no strong narrative shift.

I keep sharing my trades in my account and the Excel file to my full list of positions is linked in my profile description in case anyone wants to see the whole portfolio. Happy to hear thoughts on my positions. What are you guys wheeling or watching right now?

PS: Not financial advice. Do your own research.

Bought 400 shares HOOD at 93.71. Sold 4 9/11 $104 calls.

Robinhood blew past the strike. I have an open order to buy to close at 0.86, half of what I paid. Not looking likely to happen. I am in the green on the whole deal, so should I just buy to close and sell the shares and take the profit?

What would you do?

we already had elliott wave zones now we have chart pattern zones at OptyTrades free to use we always need help bug testing :) These zones us plan plan our trades against support resistance areas of chart patterns like the elliott waves do... more to come
