At any rate, to keep my monkey-mind occupied over the last year I've followed NVDA on a weekly chart with a simple buying approach to at-the-money calls. Whenever NVDA crosses above its 3-week simple moving average I buy ATM calls with six weeks until expiration (NVDA has weekly options). The options are held until the price drops below the SMA or for a max of five weeks.

How has that done versus just buying and holding it?
