See me losing on Google $Alphabet(GOOG)$ due to selling leap call options at the wrong time 

Oh boy, let me tell you about my adventure in the stock market! πŸ™ˆ Two years ago, I hopped onto the Google train at $135, thinking I was the next Wall Street wizard. Fast forward, hindsight's slapping me with a wet noodle. 🍜 I should've seen the signs and sold a leap call, grabbing that sweet $45 premium like a boss – hedge mode activated!

But oh no, I took the scenic route. Instead of cashing in like a sensible human, I threw a monthly call in the ring, dancing my way to a grand total of $1. Yep, you read that right – I could've bought a gum ball with that!

Then, the market's roller coaster went wild, and Google took a nosedive to $80. And guess what? I panicked and sold a leap call for a whopping $13. Don't judge – I wasn't seeing straight with all those numbers whizzing past!

Lesson learned, folks. As I looked back at my "puppy days" in investing, I realized it was time to whip my options strategies into shape. πŸΆπŸ“ˆ So, here's to hoping I'm wiser now, trading smarter, and maybe, just maybe, turning those past blunders into future chuckles. Cheers to learning, growing, and embracing the financial comedy show! πŸŽ‰πŸ€£ #StockMarketRookieNoMore

    The chart is pointing towards a potential boom in the stock. I alerted the BUY signal at $131.4

    This thing wants $140 bad. Easiest choice to buy calls here.

    May not reach 140 before taking its next dip down. Leaving longs on - but scaling into some OCT 120 / 125 PUT here

    Everyone needs more than their salary to be financially stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly because money left for savings always end up used with no return.
