Sell the MRVL August 70 Call
While MRVL stock could rebound in the days/weeks to come, the stock has not bounced back from its earnings decline, and I would prefer to lock in our small gain (approximately 7%) on the last piece of this trade and move the capital into fresher ideas.

Marvell (MRVL) will report earnings Thursday after the market close. And while I think the stock looks great, the market is starting to weaken (maybe) and there have been several high-profile earnings blowups in the last week. For those reasons, let’s lock in a profit of approximately --% on another piece of our position, and then see how the stock reacts to earnings later this week.

Sell a Third of your MRVL August 70 Calls for $11.30 or more.
MRVL stock is breaking out to a new high today and option activity remains strong. There isn’t much not to like about this situation.
And despite the positives I see, I am, as always, going to stick to the system, lock in a profit of approximately 20% on a third of our position and then go for much greater gains in the days/weeks to follow.

As is always the case when we take partial profits, we hope this initial sale is a big mistake and the stock and our calls trade much higher in the months to come.
