Options were crazy today

$SOUN 241213 16.00C$ sold yesterday took a loss cuz I figured it would be valueless on 0 dte.. fortunately it rallied back for me to regain 80% of my capital.. but I could have made money.. as usual options is a big gamble.

I had shares too was planning to hold but with 4 days of falling prices.. I had already doubled my original investment but left over 10k+ when the price hit 17...
