Unfortunately, time isn't on our side.

We've seen shares pop higher the last few sessions, but each time sellers are whacking it back down.

I still think it will happen, but we need to salvage what we have and move on to a better setup.

Here's what I'm doing…

Sell-to-close the AAPL Dec. 31, 2021, $182.50 call

At last glance, the contract is trading at $0.17.
