- The first trade was a technical trade on VXX (measures market volatility) bumping down against the $40 resistance level. The option price's time value decrease was close to matching the falling price of the index. So the sale at $0.16 took place.

- The Nvidia trade was a breakout trade. It took advantage of an extension in the breakout of price. The sale at $1.60 was a stop price.

- The SPY trade was a protective trade against a possible market downturn because of unemployment numbers and the Senate unable to pass another funding bill. It did not happen.

Profits will be going to charity, taxes (needed now more than ever), investors, and back into the account.
