$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ SLS shorts, what's the plan now? The warrant shield is gone. For years, shorts could hide behind a massive warrant overhang and point to dilution risk. That game is over. Now you're holding a short position overnight against: A survival-driven Phase 3 trial Event #80 pending A company with cash Significantly reduced warrant coverage Think about how absurd that is. You're betting against a trial that has survived multiple IDMC reviews and has taken more than 6 months longer than many expected to reach final analysis.

$SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ My Jan 16, 2026 $315 calls are swimming in profits with 2.5 months remaining, but I'm holding tight.

Gold's parabolic move caught me off guard, but I'll be damned if I let these paper gains slip away without protection. Just documenting my defensive play.
