Flipped my CSCO 78/75 1x2 put ratio on Friday for +96%, which I if I had I bought just the 78 put I might have made +50%, though I probably would have made less. These ratio spreads are fantastic which is why I'm so inclined to put them on. And I know I promised myself I wouldn't sell calls again after getting my teeth kicked in on PZZA, but I sold a bunch of a calls again on ALKT on Friday afternoon on a media mention that sent IV popping. I'll look to buy those back on the cheap soon.

Friday 14 Nov 2025 Morning Notes
Flipped my BILL Dec $50 put trade for +52%. I had sold short 330 BYND puts that expired today, thankfully I bot them back a couple days ago for 2cents, a cost of $660. But now my long puts are up 10 cents, or $3,300. I was also tempted to roll to next week, but feel like next week BYND is going to get annihilated. I also added a CSCO 78/75 1x2 wkly put spread for .74. CSCO has held up well considering the overall market. Lastly, I bot the QURE Jan $45 call when it tanked on FDA nonsense, anticipating the FDA to reverse course. I had sold a Nov $50 call against it bringing my cost from $3.40 down to $1.90. Then I spent .15 to close the Nov 50 call. I then sold a Dec $50 call against the $45 call for $1.85. I now own the Jan $45 call for $0.25. I like that!!
