Hi Markus. Do you recomend buyer long calls and writing cover calls on those contracts? Stocks like AMD, NVDA, UPST and SAVA pull in 5-7% weekly gains.

Like your OIH trade. Too rich for my account, but I did take two puts in MRO at the 12 Strike (so ITM, but I like the stock at that price and I think it will expire worthless later this week, but either way, I'm good).

A good introduction to shorting. So now explain how GME could have over 100% of its shares loaned out short? I think that story is why the GME short squeeze got so radically out of control.

Markus, did you trade the wheel before the market crash in 2020? If so, how was this strategy affected during the crash?
