$TIGR 20250221 7.0 PUT$ Decided to take profit, it was a 9 day contract so I could have waited, but I think sometimes in trading we have to learn not to be too greedy or at least follow and stick to our own investment philosophies. I have a lot of stocks I missed out by taking profit too early or not enough profit. Like I sold CHEWY at 16 dollars would you believe it? But anyways 50% is good enough for me, maybe I'll re-enter at another junction but for now this is the profit I'm more than happy to take. If it falls more I wouldn't even mind missing ou on that profit.
