(Net Loss of $630) Day after Thanksgiving Trade Journey #5

Happy Thanksgiving people.

As the market is short on Thanksgiving day, I decided not to pursue a trade. However, the market was going great that morning, I decided to place a couple of trades before the bell ring.

On 11/25/20, news came out that Salesforce will be purchasing the slake. Generally when M&A happens stock goes up. So I decided to last-minute buy for the Slake (WORk). I know it will be the deep out of the money since the volatility will be implied since the great news hit. I generally sell put but purchased the call. I was expecting to move higher fast, so far the stock has gone up since I purchased. Salesforce announced today that they will be announcing of purchase of the Slake market close to tomorrow. By then I will know what will be the actual purchase premium that Salesforce paid.

On 11/27/20 I have sold Square (SQ) and ETSY (ETSY). Both are a strong company highly liquid stock to trade selling options as well. Since the sold, ETSY has moved massively, from $150 to $160.
