Monday's Intention vs Monday's Actual Trade

Intention: Buy back the one $13 ONDS call at $0.25 or better

Actual trade: Nothing done, bid went unfilled

Tuesday's Intentions 

Given the incredible run made recently by portfolio holding Rocket Lab, the portfolio is bound by its code of discipline, due to our target price being overrun, to take some profits and go higher with the rest of the position. 

There is no new pattern, so we're temporarily taking the target up to $132 until we have something more concrete to go on.

Intentions:

-Sell three shares of RKLB at $112 or better, leaving a long position of seven shares. The intent is to buy these shares back lower if granted the opportunity.

-Buy back the one $13 ONDS call at $0.25 or better, to close that position
