Sold out of AAPL & QQQQ May Calls / (+AAPL) (-QQQQ).

I’m happy the Fed cut rates because I’m purchasing a home in Oahu (Mililani, HI). So hopefully my actually interest rate for my loan will go down as well. Apple spiked up to $180 and sold me out around $178 at $8. I likely could have gotten more, but I can’t watch the market so I’m happy that my GTC order was sold out. As for QQQQ. I’m just going to take a small loss and take that couple hundred dollars and put it into something else like Visa (V) because the QQQQ’s did not move like I thought they would with all the Tech moving.
