$MSFT 20260220 395.0 PUT$ MSFT: selling this put at the money Strike of $395 and also near gap fill formed on 30th April 2025. Will be looking for this as support as rebound. If market worsen the man will decide to either take assignment or roll out to buy more time. Getting MSFT at $395 is an acceptable risk for me.
$Sterling Construction(STRL)$ STRL: taking about 11% profit on the stock while also took the opportunity to recycle capital for other trades. 200 shares at $390 took noticeable chunk off my trading margin and is among some of the slower moving trades. Will try to load back up if stock turns lower, else happy to get the money back into my pocket on an otherwise pretty round week.
$AxoGen(AXGN)$ AXGN: take profit of close to 100%. Continue to consolidate positions and preserving cash to prepare to take up assignments on some of the short puts that will likely ended up in the money by Friday 6th Feb. Happy to be collecting on this trade.
$Oracle(ORCL)$ ORCL: take loss at about 26% when sold all positions at $151. Bought ORCL at $205 and with these slew of negative news and ORCL stars in some of the potential funding and dilution risk, decided that it's not worth the wait. Risk to rewards even at this price is questionable so decided to just take the L and move on.
$Encore Capital(ECPG)$ ECPG: sharing profitable trades for coins. Going to close this profitable trade to recycle capital for potential assignment after some of the sold puts trades going into money after recent sell off. Happy to be securing >30% gains. Stock seems to be consolidating so decided to exit and perhaps reenter at lower price point.
$Papa John's(PZZA)$ PZZA: taking a 25% loss on capital when I decided to exit this trade. No longer believe in Domino pizza after the potential acquisition broke down. Options market were pretty illiquid so instead of waiting for price to recover, decided to recycle the capital to support other trade needs.
$SOFI 20260206 24.0 CALL$ $SOFI 20260206 24.0 CALL$ SoFI: got assigned the 4300 shares last Friday at $24 when the short puts went into money on expiry. SoFI charts had been weak even after a decent beat on earnings last Friday 30th Jan. Decided to sell calls at same strike of $24 and collect some premium while waiting for price to recover. Will be more pain as SoFI was trading as low as $21.86 on Monday.
$Celsius Holdings, Inc.(CELH)$ CELH: shorted 500 shares at $52 when my short calls got assigned. Took opportunity to the Monday market weakness to cover my shorts for a small profit on the shares when buying them back at $51. Both ends of short puts and short calls were profitable too so overall an ideal outcome.
