SMCI remained very volatile after having receded from its recent high of $48 to settle now at $32. I think SMCI will move either way in Feb when they file the reports. Depending on whether have issues or not, this company will rise or crash.

These are to replace those expired last week. volatility had increased slightly this week thought not by significant amount.
I opened $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ,TSLA: short TSLA at $466 near its recent high and also increase my holding average. Been adding selectively at intervals and Tesla shares had been really going parabolic on very strong momentum. As of now in overbought, so seeking a short term profit taking correction soon.

I opened $MSTR STRANGLE 241227 CALL 550.0/PUT 350.0$ ,Sold new set on MSTR to capture premium. Expiry by 27th Dec so less than 2 weeks. Increased the sell out strike to $350 to reflect higher BTC prices. For the sell call, the strike was set at $550 so there is ample wriggle room for the stock to move. MSTR remained weak as compared to BTC price as it's not making new high even when NTC is hitting $108k range.
I closed $Lam Research(LRCX)$ ,Sold LRCX for small profit to recycle capital on other trades. It's in consolidation so might enter trade again when it's at lower range.

NVDA had been seeings sighs of fatigue on its rise and is consolidating at lower levels for now. Business and demand remained intact and very bullish. potential regulatory with the US and Chinese authorities remained a drag but I think wont be of significance if everyone else want to get their hands on their latest chips.
I closed $MSFT 20241213 400.0 PUT$ ,MSFT: collected premiums in full for these cash secured puts when it expired worthless on Fri 13th Dec.
