GRRR, must stop looking at Gilead. All it has done is go up after I sold all even when the market goes down.
I didn't think it would break $100 until mid summer and already at $101.70. I had so many August calls at $90 strike when it was $88 a few weeks back. Approaching a six figure mistake on my early sell out.
Being an EE, I was dumb not to invest in semiconductor or computer stocks until the late 90s.
But, but, but 4 commas? Like this: 1,000,000,000,000? That's one trillion dollars, far more than even the richest man on earth (no individual ever reaches 100B).
NW, did your Gilead put expire worthless? You got lucky if so, Gilead is down some 12%.
I think it is very oversold here and just bought 500 shares at $88.70. They raised the divy too.
Thanks for reminding me. I am traveling and do not have fast and easy Web access. I just checked my account, and saw that my put option got exercised at the strike price of 88.50 while GILD closed at 88.21. I already got $3.20/sh on the put premium, so am still ahead on this deal (same as buying GILD at 85.30).
I never owned GILD before this. I will hold it a while.
PS. I sold the put on 3/15, when GILD was at 90.
I sold the "double-upped" VNQ shares a moment ago for a 2% gain, but if I had done nothing back on 4/20, I would have had a gain of less than 1% anyways. The money was immediately used to buy shares of AGG (bond ETF).The money I didn't lose by selling equities the past few days, I lost anyways by buying VNQ too soon.
There's only one solution to the problem: Double up on VNQ. So I will sell some bond ETF shares and buy more VNQ later today.
Update: Orders executed.
