Woohoo! Made 7000% on a NOK Call Option

Pure luck.   I bought NOK (Nokia) call options expiring Jan 16, 2026 at 7, 8 and 10 strikes.  They cost me from $1.66 to $4.66 per 100 share contract.   Really just a lotto ticket since NOK was about $5 a share at the beginning of October, 2025.    Nokia popped to $6 when they reported earnings on 10/23.  Then on 10/28 NVDA (Nvidia) announced they were investing $1 Billion in NOK.

I ended up selling the 100 share option contracts from $40 to $160 , a gain from 830% to 7390%.  In only 1-2 months since buying them.

Am I brilliant? .No, just pure luck.  

I'm hoping luck will strike twice and that NVDA will make an investment in BB (Blackberry) since I also have BB call options.   😎

In any event, I am quitting buying options on individual stocks the rest of 2025.   I don't want to lose the gains I made on Wednesday, especially after the hit several stocks, such as META and MSFT took on yesterday.
