Friday 07 Nov 2025 Morning Notes

Flipped a banger of a straddle in MCK in a span of like two minutes for +77% on yesterday's open. Also sold next wk's $1-strike puts against my long Jan $2-strike puts. My cost basis has dropped to 78cents now and the $2-strike puts are marked at $1.08. Hoping that BYND stays above $1 by end of next week, then might roll again. I'm expecting it to get crushed toward the end of this month, back down around 50cents or so.

No trades of note yesterday or Tuesday, though I guess I did throw on an APO 130/125 1x2 put ratio that appears to be a brick.

Tuesday 04 November 2025 Morning Notes

My only trade of note was purchasing QURE Jan '26 $45 calls for $3.40, they hit a high of $6.20 but instead of flipping them I sold Nov $50 calls against them for $1.45, dropping my cost basis to $1.95. I'm looking to see if QURE ends up trading like REPL following FDA nonsense.

Friday 31 Oct 2025 Morning Notes

No trades of note yesterday, though I guess I did throw on a GSAT call diagonal, buying the Dec 50s and selling the Nov 55s against it for $3.75. Anytime I have a trade like this, I feel like it blows up in my face. It's cleverly crafted, and stands to gain bigly but these trades always seem to be my weakest ones. Maybe this time it's different?
