### Recent Trades and Rationale
#### NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) and Prudential (PRU)
On July 19, 2024, I made strategic investments in NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) and Prudential (PRU), purchasing fractional shares at $120.11 and $126.54, respectively. These buys were driven by a desire to diversify my portfolio and leverage the growth potential of these companies. NVIDIA, a leader in the AI and semiconductor industry, continues to show strong performance and innovation, making it a solid addition. Prudential, a significant player in the financial services sector, offers stability and consistent returns, balancing the more volatile tech investments.$Amazon.com(AMZN)$

### Summary
The recent trades in NVIDIA (NVDA), Prudential (PRU), SOFI, and PLTR were part of a broader strategy to balance long-term growth with short-term profit opportunities. The investments in NVDA and PRU added stability and growth potential to my portfolio. In contrast, the options trades in SOFI and PLTR leveraged market volatility to generate income and capitalize on short-term price movements.
The SOFI put options trades reflected a bearish stance and were executed to benefit from expected price declines or to capture premiums. Similarly, the PLTR put options were managed dynamically, with multiple buy and sell transactions aimed at maximizing gains from the stock’s fluctuations. This approach of mixing equity investments with options trading allows for a diversified strategy that can adapt to varying market conditions and optimize returns.
