To The Moon

$ASML 20260618 1460.0 CALL$  I’m currently holding a Long Call on ASML, which I opened right after the post-earnings dip. It’s been a tug-of-war lately, with the position drifting between profit and loss as the stock tries to find its footing. While the recent 11% climb is encouraging, I’m not in a hurry to exit just yet since I still have time on the contract. I’m watching closely to see if we can decisively clear the recent post-earnings highs and sustain this momentum. If the breakout holds, I’ll stay for the upside exposure; if not, I’ll be ready to adjust my plan and lock in what I can. 

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   META is facing a tough reality check despite a solid earnings beat and an initial 10% gap up. The stock has now drifted below its post-earnings levels as "CapEx fatigue" sets in across Big Tech. With 2026 spending guidance soaring to $115–$135 billion for AI infrastructure, investors are flinching at the potential for near-term margin compression. Until Mark Zuckerberg can prove this massive spend is translating into direct bottom-line growth, we’re likely stuck in this volatile holding pattern. It may take another quarter or two of "flawless execution" to convince the skeptics that this isn't just a repeat of the Metaverse spending cycle. 

$HIMS 20260227 14.0 PUT$ I was assigned HIMS just last month, and the timing couldn't have been tougher with the share price tanking over 50% since then. With earnings hitting on Monday, I’m taking a calculated risk by selling another CSP at a strike nearly 10% below current levels. If the volatility continues and I’m assigned again, it’s a necessary move to lower my overall cost basis for what looks like a long, slow recovery ahead. I’m prepared to hold, but I’m keeping my eyes on that post-earnings reaction to see if the bottom is finally in. 

$MSFT 20260227 380.0 PUT$ Microsoft is back at levels we haven't seen since the April '25 gap, so I'm seizing the opportunity to lower my cost basis. I just opened a CSP with a strike at 380, positioned a full $10 below the recent swing low to ensure a high-margin entry. If assigned, I’m more than ready to take the shares at this discount. The endgame is simple: once the reversal hits, I'll offload my higher-value lots and let this lower-cost position lead the way.

APP actually beat estimates.  The stated 'missed' here is the 'unofficial estimate expection'.  Even Guidance is higher. Maybe we may see a bounce back shortly after some profit taking. 

$ASML 20260206 1210.0 CALL$  Managed a wild ride as the stock rallied over 30% in just a month. While the 1x short call took a significant hit from that "fast and furious" upside move, the 2x long calls more than pulled their weight, generating enough gains to fully offset the loss and secure a net credit. Successfully closed out the entire position, including the previous rolled-up-and-out gains, proving the value of that built-in protection when things get volatile.

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   It has been a wild ride this past week as my META position came one full circle. After a solid earnings report, the stock initially gapped up about 10%, only to see those gains completely wiped out as the price slid back down over the following days. This earnings season has felt particularly punishing for big tech, with massive Capital Expenditure (Capex) being the primary culprit for the volatility. It seems like every major tech player announcing ambitious plans for future AI expansion has met the same fate: their stock prices tank. Investors are clearly spooked by the eye-watering costs—with some estimates putting collective 2026 Capex for the "hyperscalers" at over $600 billio

$HIMS 20260220 16.0 PUT$ Took the opportunity to open a near the money  PUT position on HIMS as the stock tanked today. Be good to DCA down my position as HIMS may take a while to get back up from here. Need to move my strike back to the 20's range. 

$META 20260918 650.0 CALL$  Bought pre-earnings on the expectation of a beat and rally. While the report was strong and the stock initially jumped 10%, the overall market turned bearish following the new Fed Chair announcement, causing a premature pullback. META’s continued slide yesterday was decoupled from the broader market recovery, cutting my current profits in half. Given the remaining time on the contract and my conviction that the bullish run isn't over, I'm holding through the volatility to let the trade play out.

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   Welcome back META. Never doubted it. The last dip after previous earnings was due to an One off event where a massive $16 billion one-time tax charge from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act". Market definitely has over reacted to that report.  This pass earning report has put everything back in place. If not because of new Fed Chair's announcement, META would have gone much higher. This pull back if overall market, we will see META get back higher very soon again.
