$UNH DIAGONAL 250822/251219 CALL 265.0/CALL 300.0$ UNH: take loss. I had setup long calls on UNH at $300 and had been selling short dated calls to offset the cost while waiting for price to appreciate. However when UNH dropped to $240, I had the impulse to sell short call below my long call strike. Subsequently when the shares recover to above $300, these short calls were far in the money and resulting in significant loss. Decided to close the pair instead and move on instead of trying to repair it. In total, I have 2 similar trades like this taking loss, while a 3rd long call setup were at $270 strike so that one is still profitable.

$Bullish(BLSH)$ I decided to buy into Bullish —a freshly listed stock. 1. Entering at the Ground Floor of a Crypto Powerhouse I bought shares of Bullish within days of its New York Stock Exchange debut on August 13, 2025—it wasn’t just any listing, but the first digital asset exchange to go public on the NYSE . Bullish raised an eye-watering $1.1 billion, pricing its IPO at $37 per share, well above the anticipated range of $32–33 . The opening day saw a wild climb—shares surged as high as $118, briefly doubling from the IPO price, and even at the close were up over 80%, pushing valuation to as much as $13+ billion . 2. Institutional-Focused Platform with Power Players Behind It Bullish doesn't chase speculative altcoins—it concentrates
$PLTR 20250829 150.0 PUT$ PLTR: collect $138 (0.9%) premium on this short put with strike at $150. Contract expires next Fri on 29th Aug. PLTR rebounded on Fri and closed at $158.74. About 17% down from its recent high, I think the pullback will be shallow and PLTR might still consolidate for a while waiting for earnings to catch up in coming months.

Decided to pay small debit to roll this higher to $195 strike and also further by 2 weeks to 5th Sept. New strike is still in the money, so will depend if price will retrace. Else, will close this losing trade and offset by the profitable long call so that can reset new trade with revised setup.
