Sell Existing Position: Sell your NTNX April 37.5 Calls for $27 or more
The time has come to finally lock in a MONSTER profit (approximately 500%) on our NTNX position as growth stocks have reversed fairly hard today. And at the same time, we are going to walk away from the final piece of our LI calls that have mostly been a waste of time.
To execute these trades you need to:

Exiting both of these positions may be a mistake. However, I’m growing a touch concerned that the market may have overheated in the short term, and I want to continue to reduce our exposure just a touch.

Buy the Nutanix (NTNX) April 37.5 Calls (exp. 4/19/2024) for $5 or less.
As I wrote late last week Nutanix (NTNX) was on my radar following weeks of strong stock performance in the face of a market, and especially growth stocks, that was under pressure.
Fast forward a couple days and very impressively the market has put together three straight days of gains in the face of news that easily could have sunk the indexes (good Jobs Report/Middle East violence). And with the strong market move, NTNX is breaking out to a new recent high today.
Let’s get involved with NTNX via an April call that is in my mind very inexpensive.
To execute this trade you need to:
Buy to Open the NTNX April 37.5 Call
The most you can lose on this trade is the premium paid, or $500 per call purchased.
The risks I see in this trade are pretty straightforward:
First, the three-day rally could be yet another fake-out, that should it fail will almost certainly hurt our NTNX calls. Second, should the sellers come after stocks with “meat on the bone” NTNX could get hit hard.
That being said, I’m pretty impressed by the market the last three days, we are entering a historically bullish time of year for stocks, and for those reasons I am going to add NTNX to the portfolio today.
