Stock had moved up 50% since its Low on 7th April. Looking for potential pull back.

Selected strike were slightly above the 200 days MA which might attract the price should the counter makes a short term correction.

Took the chance of lower volatility last week to close some shorts and it's time to accumulate some long positions if possible at lower strike of $50 or below. Selling multiple contracts with different time frames to spread assignment dates for smoother capital allocations should these sold puts goes into the money on expiration or early call by counter party. Monday volatility went up possibly due to the weekend US bond downgrade though it recovers later in the market and went down again.

I opened 2 lot(s) $GDX 20250613 52.0 CALL$ ,GDX: collect 1% premium for these short calls with strike at $52. Contracts expire in 4 weeks on 13th June.

I opened 3 lot(s) $GFS 20250718 45.0 CALL$ ,GFS: collect 1.1% premium on these covered calls with strike at $45. Contract expires in 9 weeks on 18th July. Low premium collection but better than sitting without. Happy to release the stocks at $45 if it ever go that level. A bit of bullish consolidation after the 12th May gap up with happens to most counters in the market. Still haven't break 200 days MA so I'm bearish on the stock as is.

I opened 1 lot(s) $NFLX 20250530 1200.0 CALL$ ,NFLX: collect 1.65% premium on this sold call with strike at $1200Contract expires next week on 30th May. The $1200 resistance seemed to be respected so far, so decided to sell another call against this level to capitalise on premium collection. I believed lots of money parked here as Netflix is less impacted by tariffs war, so whenever news of tariffs deescalations, some of the money might flow back out to more risky assets. Absolutely love Netflix business model so this is only short term trading ideas.
