I have some powder and would like to do some PUTS to increase position in a few stocks. Thinking about OUST and MRLN. Any advice on price or other positions to add to? I am good in my NBIS position for now.Thanks for all your insight on MB.

For the premium I’d go with 6/18 $7.5 strike on MRLN
IV levels on OUST have moved from selling puts and calls to buying calls.

I couldn't get a fill this morning.
Glad I finally chased at 26.30
My last 50 share purchase for a good while.
I absolutely ate 24-26 end of last week.

Sold three covered calls for 5/15
$30 strike .80
That's my play on a pop. I like a 3-7 day window.

Dumb question...
I mentioned last week or so that I have never sold covered calls/puts. If I sell a covered option play, I understand that I get the premium up front. Do I need to do anything with the option to "close it out" before expiration, assuming my shares don't get assigned? Or can I let it go to expiration as the seller and retain my shares (again, assuming the shares don't get assigned)?
Just trying to understand how this works. Hopefully my question makes sense. Just don't want to mess around and screw something up. Playing with options is a quick way to learn lessons the hard way.

Bought a few more shares at 24.5 before market opened. Wished I had bought more.

However, most people close out by buying them back at 50-75% gains.
I do both. You never know...

This is a "must read":
$OUST is starting to look like a classic liquidity + narrative mismatch. At ~$28 today, even a move to $80 implies only ~$5B market cap — still ~20x P/S on ~2026 ~$250M revenue, not stretched for a category leader positioning itself in LiDAR / Physical AI sensing.
The real story is structure: ~60M share float with ~34.8M held by institutions and ~8.2M by insiders leaves only ~17M shares effectively in active circulation. That’s tight. Already ~3.3M shares traded in the first 2 hours — showing early real demand pressure hitting a constrained supply base.

When liquidity rotates into names like this, price discovery can accelerate fast. This shifts $OUST from a slow re-rating setup into a momentum + supply squeeze candidate. If volume stays elevated, trend continuation can get aggressive quickly.

Are you selling, holding or accumulating. I do not have many shares and am in th accumulation phase. Let me know your thoughts. I do not want to accumulate any more NBIS at the current price but am open to adding to MRLN, OUST and LWLG.
Posted on 5/11/26 at 2:04 pm to jerryc436
I think I’m at the hold phase now.
Quite please with share count and average cost for the future!

BB88. Have been following your insights for many years and it has been profitable. I first bought AUPH after seeing your post and bought a lot between $4 and $6 dollars. Was not an investment for me but I traded it buying PUTS and CC's. I am almost completely out of it now but still have 100 shares and am up more than $21K on this one stock. I enjoy your DD and hope you keep posting your thoughts.
Posted on 5/11/26 at 2:09 pm to bayoubengals88
Which of your investments do you think has the most room to run from present price. I am looking for another AUPH or NBIS to invest in.
Posted on 5/11/26 at 2:44 pm to jerryc436
I think OUST is truly ready to run.
$50-60 by end of year seems reasonable.
I think MRLN needs a piece of news, but it’s a great time to slowly add.

Having learned a bit about autonomous vehicles via Nebius’s Avride, this is a pretty big deal…
They are quietly building a monster company.

This or DRAM you think? I know they are completely different plays but curious.

I sold my small DRAM position to buy OUST on sale.
It’s a tough call.
