$UNH 20260220 300.0 CALL$ sharing for coins. Picked up this long call at the money when UNH was trading lower. Expiration in Feb so at some point in the coming week will be closing this off before faster theta decays sets in.

$Encore Capital(ECPG)$ sharing profitable stock wins for coins.  Had these for few months now.  Narrative remained the similar. ECPG business is a growing segment of debt recovery and is my contrarian play amidst rising market still near all time highs.  More people might be displaced by job uncertainties and inflation and going into debt servicing and this forms the backbone of debt recovery services. 

$VXX 20251219 45.0 CALL$ sharing profitable Options for coins.  VXX was a bit higher 2 weeks ago when stocks market were down.  Managed to sell this batch of VXX just right before the volatility cool off when market reversed to the upside.  Pretty good timing for this trade and collected $900+ just with 4 short calls. 

$Globalstar(GSAT)$  sharing winning trades for coins.  Shared this before. Paper profit about 120% within about 6 months of finding this satellite stocks.  Its association with AAPL and SpaceX will continue to drive tailwind on this business. 

$SOFI 20251219 25.0 PUT$ SoFI: selling new put when SoFI is weak today on news that it's selling $1.5 billion of common stocks at $27.5.  This has a dilutive effect on the existing stock holders.  At the same time, SoFI is also a potential candidate for S&P inclusion as it among the companies that fulfill the criteria.  Speculative elements for including yet the reward could be good if it landed on the right side of the trade. 

$PLTR 20251205 170.0 PUT$ PLTR: take profit. Hitting almost 95% of max premium collection and this short put is expiring this Fri 5th Dec.  Market is flattish and opened slightly lower. PLTR also trades close to the strike of $170, well within 1 ATR so decided to close and secure profit instead of milking the final few extra dollars.

$NVDA 20251205 170.0 PUT$ NVDA: taking profit when market opens a bit weaker on the 1st trading day in Dec.  NVDA went as low as $173.68 and within striking distance to the put at $170.  Not willing to risk assignment and while the premium decay is still in my favor, decided to close the trade and secure the profit instead.  Price has recovered slightly at posting, am happy with the decision to prioritise risk management over excessive risk taking. 

$RDDT 20251205 180.0 PUT$ RDDT: take profit after achieving 96% of maximum premium collection about 1 week ahead of expiry on 5th Dec.  Sold this out when RDDT was weak alongside market sell off last few weeks, glad to have entered on the low and now collecting the rewards.
