Bought SPY and META calls early this morning. As the market kept dropping I kept adding to the positions because I had a strong feeling it would bounce.

My last buy was 100 SPY 669 calls at $0.70, which later ran up to about $1.50. That move basically saved me from a complete disaster.

Still took a decent loss on META, but I’m honestly just glad I ended the day with around $40k instead of $16k.
