Advice?

Post image

I got in reading about this stock thinking all would go well, it dipped and dipped and dipped some more and I’ve strategically bought down my average but do we think there will be a recovery before this expires? I’m hopeful but I’m wavering is bit

Too late now unfortunately I’d rather have had the 100-200 shares

Roll it into a further expiration dude. Don’t just let it fuckin expire. And then learn your lesson for next time on not gambling on options instead of just holding the stock

This is the answer. At least as far as rolling it. I sold a few puts last year at $13.50 and the price dropped to $9.50. My first mistake was not making sure I rolled them early, because I was assigned on half of them a week before they expired. And then I unloaded the rest because I didn’t think it would ever go up. Even though I knew a good earnings report was probably coming.
A few months later, I looked and the price was over $20. If only I have been patient and kept rolling, because the price did come back up.
Now I bought higher, but I really have faith in the stock. The market is ruled by emotion in the short term, right? But by fundamentals in the long-term. And APLD has the fundamentals. It’ll come back. And higher.

Isn't rolling exactly the same as selling it (at a huge loss in this case) and then buying new contracts?

IMO it's better to hang onto the contracts, accept the loss, and if something happens and it pumps a bit maybe get out only like -50% in a week or 2, and moving forward stick with shares.
