That was a drastic drop and I believe the company business is still sound.  Valuation might seem a bit more palatable now and these type of software business is less impacted by the ongoing tariffs war.  Ongoing legal battles might dampen sentiments but these are notoriously hard to be of anything substantial beyond some fines and given the growth of the company, it might be pos

All those bullishness had fizzled after the tariffs place a huge overcast on the trades especially export centric economies.  The Semiconductor Tariffs are still in the works and have been announced to I think the price will stay in range until the next catalyst.

I opened 1 lot(s) $META 20250516 465.0 PUT$  ,META: collect 4.65% premium on this cash secured put with strike at $465. Contract will expire in 5 weeks on 16th May.  Price had been coming back down after the initial pump after last Wed tariffs pause.  The latest is related to Mark's over META antitrust case.  News can pump and dump a stock, I believe usually these will end up in fines and would not do much harm to the company.  Even if breaking down the company into separate entities might be a positive news instead of negative.  Meanwhile, will collect some premium while the stock is showing signs of weakness of late.
