Follow-up: $NKE earnings play worked - options were underpriced
Yesterday I posted that $NKE options looked underpriced going into earnings. [https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1s8wuki/nikes\_nke\_earnings\_announcement\_after\_the\_close/](https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1s8wuki/nikes_nke_earnings_announcement_after_the_close/) Here’s what actually happened. $NKE reported after the bell and beat, but the market didn't like the fundamentals and traded off overnight.

Selling covered calls way below Cost Basis

I feel like even when I tell myself I’m following fixed sizing, in practice I still end up going slightly bigger on trades I “believe in” more, not always consciously either. Curious if others see the same thing? Do you have explicit rules for this or do you try to …
