Stock / Symbol: Duolingo / DUOL
Strategy: Bear Put Spread
Trade post date: 22 Jun 2023 / $141.98
Price at this post: $140.30

Update / Reasoning: Yesterday's and today's trading activity is indicating to me that the stock is attempting to form support here at the 136 - 137 level. That and the fact that I've watched my 10% profit on this trade completely evaporate this morning, I'm getting out now for a modest gain. The net position Greeks on this DUOL Bear Put spread are currently: -12.7 Delta, 0.2 Gamma, -0.4 Theta, and 1.8 Vega.
