Lighter Into the Print, and a Year More Time on NVDA

The whole week's activity went through in one session and the weekend before it. AI Build-Out swapped two lines for two others at Friday's closes — SHECY and MU out, Q and SKHY in, 30,560 dollars out and 34,423 in — then cut five winners smaller at Monday's closes, ATEYY, COHR, IOT, RBRK and SNOW by seventeen to twenty-five percent, the day before the semis gave Monday's gains back. The derivatives book bought back its ALAB January 250 put for an 820 dollar gain, sold its NVDA December 2026 100 call at 127.75 for 3,893, and replaced it with a December 2027 160/320 call spread at a 65.69 debit — the options book buying more time again, a week before the NVDA print. Realised gains across the two books that traded: 13,421 dollars. Global Tech 50, Hypergrowth and Global ETFs logged no entries.
