Duration
| Label | Value |
|---|---|
| Symbol | BULL |
| Strategy | Long LEAP call, 15 strike, 7/17/2026 expiry |
| Opened | May 2025, 4 contracts |
| First exit | 3 of 4 contracts closed at plus 38 percent within days |
| Final exit | Last contract sold to close for a total loss |
| Loss on final contract | -$420, or -100% |
| Net across all 4 contracts | +$60, or +3.57% over 14 months |
Taking partial profits early is the only reason this campaign ended positive. The thesis did not work. BULL made no progress in 14 months, and 3.57% over that period is a poor use of capital even though the number is positive. The contract that was held to expiration went to zero.
BULL counts as a win in the record, because the campaign did finish slightly positive. Both descriptions are accurate. The thesis failed and one contract went to zero, and taking profits early on the other three is what kept the total above water.
