Trading Update
I needed to park my cash somewhere while I figure out what to do next, so I sold a few longer term Puts. The choice was driven by Intrinsic Volatility (IV), once the IV goes down, I am hoping to buy the Puts back at a lower price resulting in a little bit of profit for me. All of these are Cash Secured Puts.
- Sold 2 SOFI $10 Puts
