Welcome back to 2021’s first trade log update! I’ll go through the few moves I made to close out last year before getting into last week’s moves.

12/21:

Buy: BBBY @ $19.20
Sell: AMD @ $92.19
Buy: AMD Dec 24 $94 Call @ $1.20

I finally closed out my position in AMD, mostly to fund my big bet on BBBY’s earning call on 1/7. Even though the stock benefited from the “Blue Wave,” it lost a lot of ground after posting a big miss. I also bought some cheap AMD calls so I wouldn’t be kicking myself if my selling out was premature. Instead, I just ended up kicking myself for purchasing those calls when they expired worthless.

12/22:

Buy: JMIA Jan 15 $50 Call @ $4.65

I bought these calls after watching JMIA continue its epic run, but unfortunatley, that run ended the moment I bought them. January 15th is starting to look like an expensive day for my portfolio.

01/04:

Buy: NIO Jan 15 $55 Call @ $4.50

I bought these calls expecting to see some positive movement leading up to Nio Day. NIO was Dan’s bet pick in last week’s episode of 2 Bulls in a China Shop and I liked his reasoning.

01/07:

Buy: BAC Jan 29 $33 Call @ $1.13

I bought these after seeing options alerts pop up for JPM and BAC. I knew I should have waited a day as I was buying them though, as I could have picked them up for less than $0.80 a contract on Friday. BAC announces earnings in a couple weeks, but I’m hoping they move in sympathy with JPM when they report on 1/15.

01/08:

Sell: NIO Jan 15 $55 Call @ $6.08

Here I sold off 50% of my NIO position at the end of the day after watching the stock price rally throughout the day. I wanted to lock in some profit in case NIO disappointed (I still have nightmares about AMDs big events), but it looks like I didn’t need to worry.
