description: "This market is really grinding, killing both longs and shorts～My first batch of 100 puts made a small profit when they went in the money, so I got out quickly.

Waiting patiently for the big move～NVIDIA is too strong, not suitable for playing volatility with weekly options? Waiting patiently for a big market crash to go all in on NVIDIA shares～For options, it's still Spy, QQQ, Tesla, sweet."
