Dell
I purchased these shares ahead if earnings. I nearly bought a call option, for two weeks out, to hold through, but was worried about the timeframe and the potential for a ~$4k loss. It was a good decision based on risk management, but a poor one in terms of profit. IV was low, too. I saw someone purchased a single contract, same as the one I waffled on, and made $150k gain. Arg. I was interested in the shares and contract because I was reading that evening about the use of Dell servers and to a lesser extent, storage, in AI applications. It seemed the market hadn’t realized this, so, I made some nice gains.

Trytosaveabit : Hind sight is 20/20! But allow me to congratulate you on beyond awesome returns! Yes what ( you coulda made ) is always on your mind when you see that. But the gains you did make are so far more than just fantastic! That I wouldn’t even let the “ what if “ enter into my mind! Hehehe! Again congratulations on a awesome trade!

Operator, operating, operationally.
Trytosaveabit BelleWeatherOP: You’re very welcome! Happy to hear negative thoughts gone! I’ve seen to many that sold early and dwelled on that. Then they started making bad trades and losing good profit. Because they left that “ what if “ stay in their head! It kept them from selling with great profits to hold for more because of the, ( see if I would have just held longer haunting them )! Keep up the great decisions!
BelleWeatherOP Trytosaveabit: I did almost take a subpar trade after, wanting to ‘catch up’ or something. But someone, perhaps you, explained how foolish that is. So, I remembered my Buffet/Munger, and wait for the fat pitches once more.
