I closed my short arm for NVDA today (puts) and leave the long arm
as is ($155 naked puts). The sudden jump a week ago caused some pain for
my combo short position but as I said, I expected NVDA to come down towards $175 quickly. Apparently I was even too conservative as it
almost touched 170 today. My short arm has recovered most of the paper
loss due to the jump, so as planned I closed it now. Looking at its
chart, I'm not sure this correction is already done by now. It is a
really possibility that NVDA may go down toward 165 or even lower but I
doubt it will go below 155. So I hold my 155 naked puts till it is
expired in Dec, which will give me a great profit from it and several
times more than the small loss from the short part. I'm still holding
the short with 190/185 bearish call spread that I entered when it jumped
to 190. It is now showing good profit as well and I'm betting there may
be more gain for it if indeed NVDA continues to go down a bit.
I hope the recent breakout is
real for NVDA but technically it is difficult to say for sure as the
weekly chart dose not support a quick uptrend. It is often the case that
a sudden up move due to analyst upgrading can quickly fade without
other more fundamental support. Will see how NVDA behaviors in the next
few weeks to get a more clear sense whether NVDA is already in a new
uptrend. So far I'm not fully convinced yet, especially after it falls
back below its support ($175) so quickly after the recent breakout. It
bears the question whether it is a real breakout or a false one. I can
argue both ways; so will let the market tell me where it wants to
go.
