With 39 days remaining until expiration of the August options, I anticipate that there’s little chance that any of my positions will move beyond their profit zones.

sym	option debit	share price	curr % max profit
EWZ	0.61	45.59	(22.0)
GDXJ	0.32	34.65	11.1
IWM	0.39	155.25	7.1
IYR	0.41	90.24	4.7
KRE	0.36	53.33	2.7
XBI	0.61	85.59	7.6

At the end of the week, on Friday, I’ll revisit two losing trades with July options, NVDA and SMH, seeking to answer the question, What if I had held the positions rather complying with my trading rules and exiting?
