bought XLNX shares this morning in anticipation of the AMD merger going thru, the risk right now is all on china blocking the deal, but i dont think they really have any reason to block it. the deal spread between AMD and XLNX is still wide as fukk (buying XLNX right now is equal to buying AMD at $87 since you get 1.7 AMD shares for every XLNX share post merger). if the merger fails, XLNX will prob drop down to $110-120, so the downside is also capped if you're buying shares... it was too appealing for me to stay away :why:

No Whammies!!
It's been a rough couple of weeks, I'm way way down since the 2nd week of July. Lot of my money is in SPY leaps, so in the end I should still do well.

Bought some HOOD puts today to take advantage of the inevitable day it comes back to earth:
NOV 19 $50 put
Almost in the money already :banderas:
