are you still in favor of the jan 2026 call for DG ? I'm looking at the Jan 100 call

I'm agnostic.
I think I mentioned that one just as an example.

Given the sharp sell-off, I imagine only the very low strike ones have implied interest rates that one could live with.
These tie up a lot of money, but remember that once the stock rises (which I personally assume is the case), you can roll them up to a higher strike at a reasonable rate and free up that cash again.
In the same vein, you can buy stock now and switch to calls later when it's cheaper. Assuming you have a spare pile of cash that you don't mind tying up till the stock bounces.
