Weekly: Fire and Fury

Tension between North Korea and the U.S., is cited as a reason for the big drop on Thursday. Nvidia earnings were good, but the stock dropped. Most of my losses for the week were from NVDA. I go further and further out on selling premium. My account balance was down, but the losses are modest.

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