The patterns, analyst interpretations, misinformation (honest ignorance), and disinformation (purposeful deceit), as well as other variables have made holding 'all in' through earnings a fools game. As long as I can remember, you've spoken of maintaining a core position and a trading position. I have fallen prey to holding all in on a few occasions and would like to think I've learned that lesson. I'll blame it on greed and an optimistic nature. :) My more disciplined self now reminds the greedy dwolf of how badly that sting can seer the soul. In other words, I'd rather make a little less while ensuring I can remain in the game... that is, from my perspective, BlackBerry has long been a when and not if proposition. Puts are useful as insurance on long position. There are also straddle techniques. I'm not a technician, though. Almost entirely invested in January 2024 leaps... mostly deep in the money, but last few weeks spreading out a bit to some higher strikes at 3 to 1 and 4 to 1 ratios. It's a Bullish move that can (WILL in my mind) pay off handsomely when we run. A serious run (Reddit or other) can easily result in a smartly purchased and managed options account moving 5,000 - 10,000%... I digress. Tomorrow and Thursday I will be selling a bit, but less than usual due to present SP and market cap. May go to cash, but more likely will buy more CLOV in lieu of cash... perhaps a combination. Will NOT go the put route this ER. My gut and common sense tells me things are going well for BlackBerry and that Chen will be offering up a positive call. And don't forget the G Man who now has 4/5 months or so under his belt. Love the ads I'm seeing on ST.
