Ended up selling my 10 shares of $MU at a small loss when it had that massive green candle up to $692. I’d rather miss some upside than risk bag holding if it revisits the low 600s. Plan now is to slowly scale back in around the $650 range.

Remember when $SMCI kept squeezing and all you heard was how it was gonna go up for ever and ever, and now it hasn't made a new high for over two years and is down 75% from it's peak? Once again, this is where all the "But Colin! This is different on $MU because (enter excuse XYZ)" which is just some half ass DD they found on Youtube. You really think memory will be a problem forever? You really think competitors won't show up? You really think margins will stay this way? Trust me I know, I've been there with $TSLA. Last 5 years would be a waste if I didn't learn how to trade and manage vs drink the koolaid. There are COUNTLESS other examples like this. Just want you to be smart and not another statistic. Good luck.

A market can dip even when you don’t see put flow because down moves often happen from lack of buying, not from aggressive bearish betting. Why the market sells off when institutions “aren’t active” * No sponsorship = gravity. If the big bid isn’t stepping in, price can drift lower from normal profit-taking and risk reduction. * Bearish positioning isn’t always puts. A lot of institutions de-risk by selling stock, trimming longs, or rotating — none of that shows up as put prints. * Lower liquidity exaggerates moves. When participation is low, it takes less selling to move price. So you can get a red day with no obvious “put buying” because it’s really a missing bid day. ⸻ Why it’s valuable to know institutions aren’t buying calls today Because it tells you what not to do — and that’s where most traders bleed. 1. It prevents forced longs. If the market isn’t being sponsored, dip-buys are more likely to chop or fail. You stop trying to “buy every red candle.” 2. It sets the day type. Low call activity often signals a cash-flow / defensive / chop session. That changes your playbook: smaller size, quicker profits, more patience, or no trade. 3. It tells you where the next opportunity will come from. On low-sponsorship days, the most valuable thing is tracking which names still get attention (even a little). Those are the first to move when conditions improve. 4. It improves risk management. If you’re not seeing institutional call participation, you assume follow-through is weaker, so you: * tighten invalidation * reduce size * avoid holding hopeful runners 5. It keeps you mentally sharp. You stop treating “being active” as the goal. You treat the day as information gathering and protect your capital. In short: knowing institutions aren’t buying calls today helps you avoid the trap of trying to trade a day that isn’t offering clean opportunity, and it helps you be early for the next real move.

$MU weekly puts will print 1000%+ banger with in next two weeks!
