So, yeah, maybe I sold earlier than I shoulda: Shares at $186, Futures at (effectively) $195. The underlying ran, leaving me wishing I hadn't sold. Coulda made like $30/share more, which woulda been (kind of) a big deal. But now here we are with the underlying well below that $195 strike; $186.80 at today's close. So waddu yoo doo? Still distrusting the broader market 'cause this particular one is based more fully on The Big Lie than it has been for a decade, and yet wanting to jump in at a lower level than I sold, which is (pretty much) where we are now. ??

I bought some AAPL back I sold this about 7 months ago at about $186 (see the message I'm replying to --- shoulda waited another 3 months or so, dangit), and bought it back this morning at about $168. A dyslexic trade, maybe, but there it is. I posted the trade where I originally bought these shares at about a split-adjusted $45 (almost 8 years ago in early 2011) to a different site: I just bought a bunch FWIW, I regard this as the start of a fairly short-term transaction (I also entered a fixed-price sell order), possibly among others ... the second transaction I began 7 months ago was to write calls on a similar-sized chunk of AAPL (also documented in the post I'm replying to), which sold at about $195 a couple months ago (including the time premium). I'll watch what happens to AAPL over the next few weeks before I decide next moves in this account, but may do more in another account.
