$SMCI 20241101 44.0 PUT$ This is what happened thanks to the auditor resignation 😢😢😢

I did a partial buy at 120 without using my full allocation. I did this only after seeing strength. While$NVIDIA(NVDA)$  dipped to 117 the charts were not clear if it would continue to fall or go up. So after some analysis I set 120 as the new support and decided to buy  when the price crossed this level upward and bought into some. The stock did go on to rally to 131 pre market before falling to presently 125 but I thi k 120 is a good support and psychological level to hold.

Here is the details of my trading on earnings on$Snowflake(SNOW)$   Before earnings I did some research. By all analysts the results were expected to be good for revenue and profits with a growth in EPS. So I knew I could buy into the stock if in worst case it fell. I then had to choose strategies.
