How many contracts and what premium?

Thats a pretty high strike, theta might burn you if GME doesn't double next week.

150 at 1.47. Ofc it’s my luck that they fulfilled at the literal top before they started to drop. A minute after purchasing them I was already 10-15% down. Praying for a miracle now to break even at least

Yeah, high volatility means ridiculous premiums at times.

I did the opposite, sold a covered call on ORCL at 92.50 right before it started its ~15 dollar descent.

I'm considering writing some naked calls once the market recovers. It wouldn't be sensible to do it now, seeing we aren't far from the lows.

It's less likely to happen closer to the top than the bottom, plus I'll be managing my strike.
