Started the day holding 6 Long Calls on Nvidia (NVDA).<\/strong>
With the market showing signs of overheating, I’m starting to feel cautious. Momentum feels shaky, so I decided it was a good time to lock in some profits and reduce exposure. I closed out 2 of my 6 NVDA call positions<\/strong> today\u2014one purchased in February and the other in May. Both expire in December, and both delivered solid returns.<\/p>\n

Some might wonder why I sold these positions with six months still left until expiration. Well, experience has taught me that when you own options and the stock pulls back, it can take a while for the stock to recover. During that time, time decay<\/strong><\/a><\/span> steadily eats away at the premium \u2014 and as you get closer to expiration, time decay accelerates even more.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I never buy short-term options. When I do buy long calls, I make sure to go out at least six to eight months on the expiration to help protect against time decay.<\/p>\n

Feeling good about taking some chips off the table and locking in profits while still maintaining exposure. Will continue monitoring momentum closely for remaining positions.<\/p>\n

It feels good putting this $2870 in my mattress!<\/p>\n
