After a solid day, I opened up the 3rd leg of the SL Stool on META. I sold the META Jan 20 2023 120 Calls for $6.5.  META was trading at $112.50 at the time as usual I hunt before the close. 

I have a $20 spread for a credit of $2.50 per contract. 

I will roll up if META goes to 130 or buy them back if it dips to 105-108

This was orig trade.

I entered the SL on OCTOBER 27  at 99 - I sold the Jan 2024 Puts for $20 and bought the Jan 2024 calls for $24. As with all Synthetic Longs, it is a VERY risky strategy.  My breakeven point on this trade is $104.  The naked put sale starts hurting if META falls under $80.  $80 is the point where I revisit the strategy if Meta falls that low.

2023-01-22 19:50:04 I’m intrigued by your perspective on the META trade. There are companies where I don’t like the product or the philosophy (good examples are META and APPL). I know this is just a well-calculated trade, but I’m still having difficulty imagining myself being part of something that goes against the values I believe in. Similarly, I don’t invest in pump & dump meme coins like DOGE, even though money can be made there. It’s not good to be spread too much anyway, so I think I’ll stay focused on projects I care about. But thanks, James, for sharing all of this with us!

when you sell a put does that mean u think the stock has bottomed so the odds of it going up is higher and whoever buys the put loses and you get their losses in gains?
