I made some emotional moves with my call options which cause me to pay premiums to avoid getting assigned. Which I shouldn’t have done to quickly as the market did a correction and the stock price for NVTS went below the strike price. Now I am having to spend time trying to recoup the loss.

Turned out things are not looking great here. Even thought I have income my savings have been falling short here. This is due to paying mortgage, HOA, cell phone, internet and with the new addition of daycare that is costing $2,000 a month. Things will change next month if our home gets sold and I won’t be paying mortgage while my wife takes care of rent.

Final Thoughts:

Not the option trading I wanted, but I still managed to make money. I need to learn to control my emotions when trading. I’ve been in a few situation were the stock price went above my strike price and I immediately panic and try to resolve the situation when I could have just been patience.
