This is the movie I was in with Rocky. News came out just today. Co-Stars #DavidMorse #MichaelDouglas #WalkerScobell #CameronDouglas #MichaelStahlDavid #TamaraTunie #XimenaRomo #SummerMovies I was assigned tons of $NVDA $COIN $ENPH while working on the set hollywoodreporter.com/movies…
Thanks for the #Cupertino update @kimmyjongeats!
Chef Chu's was our favorite small local place in the 80's and 90's before tech moved in, so having him cook for our wedding was not as impressive as it sounds, though we considered the restaurant "expensive" at the time and reserved it for special occasions. Larry and my sister were classmates.
Here's an old photo of blurry VCR footage showing Chef Chu and me at our house.
I heard "Chef Chu" mentioned on the @netflix show "Space Force"🚀 when they needed to impress Chinese dignitaries - Do you think they were talking about him?
Is it true that Zuck @finkd likes Chef Chu's as well?
#SiliconValley
Chef Chu catering your wedding and cutting your cake is epic! Yeah, that's thriving. Did not know about Larry - had to look him up.
Cupertino action has shifted to Cupertino Main Street (mainstreetcupertino.com/). Alexander's, Haidilao, Oren's, Phil's, 85c and a LOT more.
Mahalo for the shoutout @SPXVIX - who I've been following for several years and has helped me get through some rough patches.
If you decide to follow, I will follow back all active/non-bot accounts.
Followed all on the list:
@Brownmoose
@TslaGroupie
@FinancePhoton
@Mr_Derivatives
Happy Shoutout Friday!
1. @VickiYu: small account energy I actually look forward to. Vicki sells options, posts through the hair on fire margin days, and somehow still remembers to breathe. Been interesting following her journey. Give her a follow.
2. @Brownmoose: if you want someone who snips bottoms and tops (and will yell "$AAOI DO BETTER" at a chart until it behaves), Moose is your guy. Full time Canadian menace.
3. @TslaGroupie: feeling bored? Need some $TSLL options selling action in your life? Hairstylist by day, CSP machine also by day. Closed before the dip and still somehow finds time for FRI YAY. Absolute chaos in the best way.
4. @FinancePhoton: her research is priceless (VXN spikes, 0DTE studies, the whole nerd buffet) and then she ghosts for a week like she owes us nothing. Julia please post more, we miss you.
5. @Mr_Derivatives: the goat. Relentless charts, still lifting up the small accounts, still saying stay humble. We see you Heisenberg.
Tag your Friday people below. Who am I missing?
Did you buy the dip? 📉
I bought $NVDA at $180 last night.
Do you trust this bounce? 👀
I don't until #Nvidia reclaims $195.
TGIAF! 🌺
Thank Goodness It's Aloha Friday — theta keeps paying while we wait.

Field notes in case your hair is smoking too.
What did you do today to manage risk?

Anyone else rolling puts today?
Sharing my pain and hoping this helps someone.
HOW TO SAVE YOUR MARGIN ACCOUNT 🔥
Relieve pressure on your buying power.
Sell money market funds if needed to add cash.
Scan your positions. Look for the biggest drags on buying power and roll them out and down for a CREDIT. Rolling down and out for a credit can lower the margin requirement on that position, which can free up buying power.
For example, I rolled $TSLA and $DELL puts due to the higher cost per share and amount of contracts.
I also rolled my ITM $NVDA puts because I have a high number of contracts and getting assigned no longer makes sense at today's prices.
Note: I'm only rolling to strikes I would still be okay owning the stock at.
Rolling extends your risk, it doesn't erase the loss you already booked.
I went through this in April 2025 during the Liberation Day crash. I took around $500K in realized losses.
Rolling was essentially buying the dip because I was selling new put LEAPS for very high premiums.*
*Rolling worked out because I was selling new put LEAPS for very high premiums and they eventually expired worthless, but if the market hadn't bounced, I would have been in a deeper hole.
Not financial advice, I'm sharing what I'm doing today to keep my head above water.

Which ticker is hurting you the most?
Pranayama Breathing🧘♀️
$NVDA #OptionsTrading
REMEMBER TO BREATHE🧘🏻♀️
Taking a deep breath and buying more $NVDA
Rolled tomorrow’s 210P out and down. Because there are better prices today, it’s preferable to buy outright vs. ITM put assignment.
Working an order to roll Feb calls discussed yesterday to this month. I could use the cash now!
Considering adding $SPCX here too. . .

If the United States makes it harder to build data centers, I have a little secret for you: the hyperscalers aren't going to stop building. They're just going to build outside of the United States.
The buildout is happening.
$COIN recovering, so I didn't need to treat the midterms as a negative catalyst after all. $TSLA is still fine above 366.
Have you ever sold covered calls that went against you in an obliterating manner?
Anatomy of rescuing deep in-the-money covered calls🤓
In my own little world ignoring market noise, as I build delivery inventory for my $NVDA covered calls.
Calculate the effective sale price of assignment: Strike price + premium collected.
Acquire shares to deliver near the effective sale price. Consider early assignment risk (ex-div date, earnings) for timing.
I'm not sweating the acquisition price or trying to catch a bottom. Breakeven, or a very small tax effect, is fine. The main goal is protecting my original low-basis shares.
The adjusted sale prices on my 2027 ITM covered call lots:
• Feb 2027 — $202.53
• Dec 2027 — $204.47
That's the price I'm delivering into, one tranche at a time. If #Nvidia continues to fall after I've acquired all replacement shares, I'll roll them to earlier expirations in hopes of quicker assignment and a return to cash.
Backstory and reasoning in the quoted post, with more coming in comments.

Happy Election Day🇺🇸
Bought $NVDA after hours last night for 202.48, and rolled 11/6 205Ps up to 210 today because I'm trying to get assigned near the adjusted sale price of my ITM covered calls (202.50) instead of getting my 2018 shares called away for a tax hit.
Trying to close 11/20 $COIN 150Ps for gain as the price fluctuates around my basis of -$11, though it wouldn't be the end of the world to get assigned at 139.
I have a strict rule of taking only paper losses - BTC only for gain or roll for credit to stay short. Unless the name is cooked.
Rolled 11/20 $NFLX 65P down to 60P for a tiny gain +credit.
Uncertainty with the war and midterms is making me focus on risk management. Take profits on positions while they are green.
Good luck everyone🍀

Why am I doing this?
Because historically, #Nvidia dips don't last long as buyers step in. I would normally wait and see for lower prices, but my covered call lot sale prices are fixed and the current dip is good enough. Please don't recover until I'm assigned shares on Friday!
$NVDA demand is backlog-driven, not spot-driven. Hyperscaler capex flows disproportionately to NVDA, orders are placed quarters ahead, and even if permitting or politics slows some US data center builds, that paces construction — it doesn't cancel demand, and the capacity can shift to other regions.
That's exactly why I'm buying delivery inventory into weakness: the dips have been about sentiment and positioning, not about the order book.

Closed $COIN 150P for a loss of .71 per contract.
Due to my "only paper losses" rule, I rolled down to Jan 140P for 2.20 credit.
Investor caution is pricing in regulatory friction as a Dem midterms victory could stall the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, increase congressional oversight and tighten scrutiny on industry players like #Coinbase.
Contrarian Cathie Wood bought the dip in Coinbase - ARK Invest bought 24,790 shares of Coinbase (roughly $3.4 million) across three of its exchange-traded funds ($ARKK, ARKW, ARKF)
Stayed in the trade, lowered the risk.
Adjusted basis if assigned COIN: $126
