QS: Trade Idea 3

For my last trade idea, I held a position that would have 60x had I not closed it early. I was expecting the possibility of B sample delivery in mid 2024, and while I was wrong about that, Quantumscape did end up signing a new licensing deal during that same time period resulting in a spike of the share price.

The lesson I took away is that, while short expiration options offer the potential for explosive returns, I should also give myself more exposure to longer dated options to accommodate the uncertainty around event timing.

So with that, I opened a new position to set up for this summer.

Potential Catalysts

This summer is shaping up to be very eventful. I don’t have any specific dates or events in mind yet, but we have a full slate of potential market moving milestones. See my 2025 edition of QS Catalysts (link below).
