PARA $12 Call 17 Apr $0.27 x $0.29 BTO $0.28 HTGC $22 Call 17 Apr $0.25 x $0.30 BTO $0.30 Added to the htgc position with a shorter time call, it looks to have more upside potential near term.

WBD $10 Put 17 Apr $0.46 x $0.48 BTO $0.47

PLTR has had a good run from $80 to $120. Is it time for a pullback to its previous accumulation area of $99 to $106 or is it going to accumulate again between $110 and $120 for another run to a new high? Options are too pricey for my defined parameters in this thread.

Is China's BYD Auto another Ever Grande in the making? Low profits per vehicle, high debt load, and possible huge recall on the horizon for Hybrid vehicles. Unfortunately, not optionable.

Thinking out loud. PARA has been in an accumulation phase ($10 - $12) since Jul 2024. It had a low in mid Jun 2024, but has not returned to that low, to me this adds strength to upside argument. The SMAs 20/50/200 are congested. Short interest is falling, but not quickly. Advisories are mixed...

F $11 Call Mar 21 $0.20 x $0.21 BTO $0.21 KGC $12 Call Mar 21 $0.24 x $0.60 BTO $0.37 The KGC sat all day with my bid @ $0.37, and the MM kept moving the ask to ridiculous spreads, see the closing spread in the photo. I've thought about a way to control the risk further than buying very...

T $24 Put Apr 17 $0.76 x $0.79 BTO $0.78 Simon, I am attempting to be more selective as to expected time frame. I'm going to attempt to steer clear of options under 2 months. As to managing the risk, that's still a thinking exercise since I want to trade on day bars. Any thoughts especially as...

Found 2 new opportunities. One does not have options, so I took a small position of 20 shares in the stock today. Filled at about the cost of an option. The other had options, but they were too volatile today to get a fill. Will try again.
