NOTES:
This was a difficult trade.
On 9/30/2022, the premium for the $98 put reached a high of $4.76, so I had a "paper loss" of $367 that day.
On 10/13/2022, GOOGL dropped to $94.38, so my $98 short put was almost $4.00 in-the-money (bad).
After all these challenges, I decided the best thing to do was to break even on the trade.
