Weekly: Fireworks

A wild week, but like most fireworks displays, it was mostly sound and light, not much lasting change. TSLA finally came back to earth. Unfortunately, strangle sellers can hit on both ends of big moves. The jury is still out on TSLA and many more positions, but it is uncomfortable. Some are saying the trends is now down in QQQ. Could be, but I need more evidence.

Here are the trades (p=puts, c=calls, sell means sell-to-open, cover means buy-to-close, the number near the end is price per contract).

On Monday morning, I thought it would be quite holiday trade for the half day, but the fireworks started early. Big moves in BRKB, NVDA and others, make for an active trading day.
