Navigating the Big Market Drop
Update: 2025-08-29
Description
Despite the market turmoil, in today's From Theory to Practice, Dr. Jim successfully managed several positions for profit.
The NVIDIA (NVDA) earnings trade produced positive results, with the butterfly closing at $3.05 (from $2 entry) and a call spread closed for $0.81 after being sold for $2, delivering approximately $2.25 in total profit.
Best Buy (BBY) bucked the downtrend, allowing for the exit of a vertical spread position at a minimal loss of about 30 cents. Additional trades included closing a Rocket Lab (RKLB) short put at 50% profit and exiting a Wolfspeed (WOLF) short straddle for approximately 30% of maximum profit.
Through all of this, Dr. Jim emphasized maintaining position size discipline while demonstrating how defined-risk strategies can be managed effectively even during significant market declines.
