Roth IRA sitting at $102k, built it up from ~10k at the beginning of 2025.

Current position: • 6,500 shares avg cost $4.34 → now $16.09, market value $104k • 236 contracts of POET $10 Calls (Jan 2027 exp) bought at avg $0.28 → now $7.15, value $168k Options book overall: 7 strategies worth $332k, up big today.…
