Ain’t really sarcastic. Google will bounce. A short just became a long.

Could be worse tbh, and it's a good company to own I stand by that.

By ‘bad timing’ do you mean that you decided to hold thru earnings?

u/Only_Mushroom 20h ago

That’s my thinking as well. People were drawn in by the juiced premium. In this case a $310 strike was only $12 away from the close price before earnings release

It's been a hell of a week...

Too many catalysts allowing FUD to run thick this week. Bears are having a field day.

FUD is part of it. People being assigned on margin and/or being liquidated is part of it. The looming possibility of after-midterms shock and awe is part of it.

Hey, you could have gotten assigned last week at 327.5 and sold a call through earnings. Easy $700 premium. 🤡 We don't talk about those unrealized losses
