$MARA 20261030 11.5 CALL$ One of the fastest drawdown i ever had. 13 days of down in one counter adding up to more than 30% drop in the stock price. Most of the short calls are below my stock average price now but just purely for extracting premium (income). Cant do much, not gonna act like I could predict where the market wants this to go. Can only manage the situation.
I Collected 49 Cents To Buy MARA At $12. On Friday It Closed At $9.65
$MARA Holdings(MARA)$ Mathematical Money | October 11, 2026 $MARA$ closed Friday at $9.65, down 14.1% on the week from $11.23 and through $10 for the first time this cycle. It was an ugly five sessions for a stock that had already had a few of those. I'd been short puts into that expiry at the $12 and $11.50 strikes, sold on 18 September for 49 cents and 53 cents a contract. Both finished in the money on Friday, so the shares were assigned to me. I said in advance that I'd report which way it went, so here it is, with the arithmetic done per share because that's the only way to see it clearly. What it actually cost The premium reduces what I paid. On the $12 strike my effective purchase price is $11.51, and on the $11.50 strike it's $1

Western Digital Fell 11% In Three Days. NetApp, Which Buys Its Drives, Closed At A Record High.
$Western Digital(WDC)$ Mathematical Money | October 7, 2026 Storage got hit twice in three sessions and most of the coverage I read treated it as one story. It wasn't. There were two separate stories on two different days, and the second one is the one that matters. Here's the damage first, and it caught $WDC$ and $STX$ in near-identical shape. Western Digital went from $462.56 last Thursday to $415.29 on Friday, a 10.2% drop, bounced 6.3% on Monday, then fell another 6.9% on Tuesday to close at $411.04. Seagate did the same thing but worse, $945.57 down to $848.99, up to $887.09, then down 9.2% to $805.63. Three days, Western Digital off 11.1% and Seagate off 14.8%, and both of them closed below the panic low they'd made on Friday. Fri
$BMNR DIAGONAL 261120/261016 CALL 30.0/CALL 28.0$ Short call almost worthless with 1 week left. Rolling out to a higher strike price hoping to capture more stock gains. Bullish on bmnr and eth for the next 1-2 years. Though the speech from Tom Lee saying they will stop at hard cap of 5% of eth, the bullish momentum will not stop just because he stops buying. End of the day, it will be more important that BMNR manages the treasury of eth properly and maximising shareholder value.
$COIN 20261030 160.0 PUT$ Cash secured put. Putting a longer duration sell put on it, but placing strike at the lowest point of the "boring" zone. Refer to earlier post on the different levels I'm looking at for COIN. Will probably do an update again next week.
First Solar Hit A 52-Week Low When An Analyst Cut His Target To 45% Above The Share Price
$First Solar(FSLR)$ Mathematical Money | October 7, 2026 $FSLR$ set a fresh 52-week low on 1 October. The trigger was a Piper Sandler downgrade — they lowered their price target from $260 to $251. Sit with that for a second. The stock made a new annual low because an analyst reduced his target to a level roughly 45% above where the shares were trading. That is what a market looks like when it has stopped listening to targets and started pricing a problem. I bought into it on Monday. Here's the reasoning, including the part that argues against me. The business is not the problem Second quarter, reported at the end of July. Earnings per share of $3.92, up 23% year on year — on revenue that actually fell 4%. That combination only happens
