I own 200 shares of NVDA and I’m worried it could drop next month. Should I hold, sell some, or protect my investment?

Because your concern is only the next month, I would keep the 200 shares and hedge rather than sell outright.

Hold

Keep all the upside, but only if you can tolerate a 15–25% drawdown.

Sell some

Trim 50–100 shares if this has grown beyond roughly 15–20% of your portfolio.

Protect

A protective put limits downside. A collar can help pay for it, but caps your upside.

Share your cost basis, account type, and downside limit, and I can suggest a current strike and estimate the cost.

At $206.84, protect the position rather than sell it outright: buy 2 contracts, NVDA Aug. 21 $200 puts, to cover all 200 shares.

Position / hedge	Current reference	Action
NVDA shares	200 × $206.84 = $41,368	Hold
Protective puts	2 × Aug. 21 $200 puts	Buy
Indicative quoted ask	$5.95/share	~$1,190 total
Protection floor at expiry	~$194.05/share	Roughly 6.2% net downside

Why this trade: price is above its 20-day average but below its 50-day average. RSI is neutral at 51.1, while MACD and volume are constructive. Risk remains elevated at 35.8% annualized volatility and a 20.2% maximum drawdown.

Is it free?

OpenCandle is free and MIT licensed, with no OpenCandle account or subscription. You pay your AI model provider for usage. Core market data does not require paid data APIs.
