Bought tiny position in apple stock. I got myself out at $170 levels( not a smart decision during 2018 december) and entering again now.
We should chat about that on the conservative option thread sometime, or even the "Correction" thread. Not something I am inclined to do today, but there are a number of ways to hedge against equities without losing a bunch of money if the market doesn't go quite the way you thought it might.
I closed out some covered calls this week. I got about all the hedge I was gong to get out of them and they still had a month to go. Maybe I can resell them if we get a bounce in a week or two. I can hope lol. I have a few covered put sales to roll forward too or I'll be buying some overpriced shares. I'm still dancing with MO and BP decisions I made last month.
