............. Total of $5550 ........

• Good job ........ does that make up most of the $6000 or so lost last week?
• You should be close to the original balance of $100,000.

Your on track to beat any butterfly trading.

Come on Zanny, just pig out on Tesla calls...

In the Tesla thread pretty much at the same time when this was posted (TSLA at 310) I called for 330 in 3 days. Today it topped out at 327.6...

Just saying. Can we post YOLO trades here?

Correction to that balance, I just did the math on a calculator to be sure. I used paper earlier.. keeps the mind sharp ya know.

Anyway, balance is $104,730 (with VMC puts at $8.80)
$82,730 in cash to play with going forward.
