Trade idea

MU selling calls

The speaker suggests that selling calls closer to the money is a better approach than the wheel strategy for shorting MU. The rationale is that the stock is unlikely to continue its upward trend, and the risk-reward ratio is more favorable with shorter-dated options. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of position sizing and the need to consider the time frame of the trade. The trade idea is based on the assumption that the stock will not continue its upward trend and that the risk-reward ratio is favorable.
