        I just sold one of my DUST puts because I thought it would be fun to lock in a $1,000 gain on one put. $13.20 ----> $23.22 in 9 days +76%.

        • Ocean Man: Way to go OLT! Yes, mine are the June 75s. Tomorrow I will roll into 55s. No reason to risk $2,500 when downside can be capped at $800.

                                    Sold some SVVC at 20.15. It still should go higher. Will likely re-buy if it retreats.
