I am recommending we close our First Solar (FSLR) and Western Digital (WDC) puts at a profit.
Our QuantumScape (QS) call is on track to expire worthless. The stock has sold off sharply since we initiated the position in early April. As I said then, QuantumScape is a speculative company, as well as a speculative stock. It is unlikely to recover soon, so I plan to recommend selling our shares at a loss on the next bounce.
With Target (TGT) running up this week, I am recommending we roll the short leg of our LEAP call spread to a higher strike. We will collect more cash for doing so.
