I bought a NVDA call with $220 strike & June 12 expiration last Tuesday for $575, and Friday before NVDA crashed I got scared and sold my option for a $25 loss, but if I had waited until Monday I would have made ~$400. Pre-market NVDA is also even higher than yesterday’s close.😭 Before I made the trade, I also did some analysis on NVDA stock over the past 3 years, and the average bounce back after being in the red for 4 days was 4.81%. I don’t know why I didn’t just trust the process.

TLDR: Invited my long-distance boyfriend to visit. A roommate has ~10 family members staying in our apartment for graduation and told me I have to stay in my room the whole time, because her family can't know she has a boyfriend. She wants me to give her visiting family privacy in an apartment I pay rent for. Am I in the wrong for saying I'll use the common spaces anyway?

Edits to address things/ more context:

1. I’ve seen a couple comments saying this is AI. I don’t really get what I would gain. I rarely post on reddit except if something weird happens, and this is it. I’ve been a long time lurker of bad roommates, and I have had a lot of unluckiness when it comes to roommates unfortunately.

2. People are asking what my boyfriend has to do with her parents not knowing she has one. She just said that to mention that her parents are really strict, and as a Muslim her dad would get really angry and uncomfortable if he saw a guy in the apartment.

3. Why are they staying in the apartment? I don’t know. It also doesn’t make sense to me, and I don’t get how they are comfortable with it either. She said because hotels are expensive, but knew her graduation was coming for years, yet chose not to book in advance. I looked on Expedia today, (1 day before graduation), and even this close to grad, there are some places 200/ a night. They were just lazy, entitled, and didn’t care to find a place.

I'm a student living in an off-campus apartment with three other girls. Finals just ended, and I invited my long-distance boyfriend to visit for a few days since I'm about to start a full-time campus job and won't get to see him much for a while.

One of my roommates has family coming for her graduation, about 10 relatives. Originally she said they'd all sleep on air mattresses in our small living room. My other two roommates were going home for the break, so they just agreed, which meant I didn't really get a say. I thought this was all really inappropriate.

For context on the living situation, she's not an easy roommate. She leaves big messes in the kitchen and gets annoyed at the rest of us for not cleaning them up. She made a chore chart that she doesn't follow herself. She'll say she's cleaned the apartment when she hasn't. She talks on speakerphone in the common area at full volume constantly, has people over without telling anyone and lets them stay until 3am on school nights and during finals week, making a ton of noise. She also bangs on our doors when she wants to confront someone.

During our argument she pointed out that I'd never said anything about any of this before. She's right that I didn't, but that's because I knew the arrangement was temporary and figured it wasn't worth the fight, especially with how explosive she is. This is just the first time it's directly affected someone I care about.

She later told me her parents would only stay one night, but the story kept shifting, and she also claimed hotels nearby were $800/night when a quick search shows places 20 to 30 minutes away for $200 or less. Where we stand now, she said her parents won’t even be going to a hotel, and that they’re going to be staying with us Thursday to Sunday.

When I mentioned my boyfriend would be over, she told me I'd have to stay in my room the entire time her family was there, because her dad would be upset otherwise. Her parents don't know she has a boyfriend. She said I need to give THEM privacy in a home I pay rent to live in.

What bothers me most is that she's invoking her family's expectations and her culture to control what I do in my own apartment, but only when it's about me. She hasn't told her parents she has a boyfriend, she drinks, she smokes, she goes out wearing skimpy clothes. I genuinely don't care what she does, that's her life. What I care about is being asked to hide in my room to maintain an image she doesn't otherwise live by. If the rule doesn't apply to her, I don't see why it applies to me, in the apartment I pay for.

I told her I pay rent here too and I'll use the common spaces like any other resident. She got really upset and said I was disrespecting her culture. If anything, she’s disrespecting her own culture by not following the norms and lying to her parents. She additionally said i’m ruining her graduation.

I made my first options trade today! Unfortunately, it was not very successful 😔. I bought 4 XLE $60 calls at $0.25 on 4/29 expiring 5/1. Pre-market, the stock dropped to ~$58.20, and I panic limit sold 2 contracts at $0.15. I couldn’t cancel in time. About 10 minutes after the market opened, it went back to the price I originally bought it for, and it eventually hit $0.38 today. I ended up selling the other two contracts for $0.30 because I was trying to play it safe. Overall $10 loss.

Going in, I expected bullish movement due to the Feds commentary, current relations between Iran and the U.S., and the price of crude oil. I assumed these factors would push energy equities upward.

I went wrong because I didn’t have a clear exit plan and reacted too emotionally to pre-market movement.
