$META 20260911 650.0 CALL$ Opening the short leg to make it a calendar spread 

Mathematical Money | August 23, 2026 Meta has had a rough fortnight. A federal trial got underway in California over claims tied to Facebook and Instagram, with damages talked about in the region of $1.4 trillion. Add the Q2 spending profile — the AI capex number spooked plenty of people — and the stock did what stocks do when the headline has "trillion" and "trial" in the same sentence. It fell to $568.97 on the 17th, then $546.01 by Thursday, and closed Friday at $549.90. That's about 30% off its 52-week high. If you're holding Meta, that's not a fun chart to open. I get it. I bought more. What I actually did I'd been running a put ratio on Meta. Long 4 puts at $560, short 8 at $550. The long puts are protection — they cover me between the strikes if it drops. Then it dropped, and those

Not expecting super powerful momentum up, but also still nothing to be bearish about at this moment. Let's milk this together as much as we can. Cheers.

Mathematical Money | May 30, 2026 Another 10,000 MARA shares got called away this week. On paper that looks like a worse position. The math says the opposite. If you've been following along, last week's post was about getting called away on the first 2,000. I wrote about how the assignment wasn't a disaster, even though it felt like one. This week the rest of the May expiry wave hit. About 6,500 more shares assigned at $10–$11 strikes when the stock was trading above $14. Plus the earlier 3,500 from May 9 and May 16 expiries that I covered last week. By the time the dust settled, the share count had dropped from 44,546 in mid-May to 34,546 today. Let me show you what that actually did to the position. The FIFO Math Nobody Explains Here's the part most retail traders never see, and it's the
