NVDA's fundamentals are strong still. Speaking of laddering out and NVDA - That might be my plan for getting out. I'm thinking of holding all 800 shares and selling some April 22.50 calls on Monday and then waiting out a better price for the April 25 calls. At least that's my though of the hour. For those who haven't been reading Options Strategery yet, you'll like it if you like this blog. We have a similar trading style although he uses delta more than I do.

I am looking at a 30% paper loss for the NVDA puts I sold yesterday but most of that is intrinsic value. I normally sell try to sell for maximum time value but that's tricky if your cost basis is higher than the current ATM strike. That's one of my biggest failures as a trader. I buy things on the way down but get out too early due to low strikes on the covered calls I sell. I have a feeling that I take way too much risk for very little return. I suppose I need to ladder out just like how I ladder in I did a lot of trading too (Last minute juggling of SIRF and BBBY).
