Both positions are free now and nicely profitable. I’ll wait and see if we get a pullback to sell some more.

#FuzzyLEAPs. Another shitty day of ITM; rolled the 777’s with a standard calendar; took awhile to fill but once it did, it quickly proved to be too early as premium now around .80. As for the 780, I missed the volatility right after the open where a swing roll would have been perfect and now stuck in a leg-out while we rally. I will wait for any pullback and likely roll to a higher strike.

NVDA (before earnings report)
Bank of America reaffirms a $350 target for Nvidia, citing potential catalysts from upcoming disclosures on off-balance-sheet commitments and free cash flow returns to shareholders.

Another one just for fun. Buying Oct and selling three times a week against it. NVDA has Mon, Wed and Fri expirations. Plenty of chances to roll down and/or sell more on a down move. No upside risk. If NVDA drops below 175 then I’d like to see it go on down to 50. 🙂 🙂

#FuzzyLEAPs Feel like I got caught with my pants down again, suffering multiple days ITM as I was unable to roll strikes down. And it was the second time in a row that the multiple day (or week) pullback came immediately after I rolled strikes much higher (in this case from 770 to 780). I’m trying to figure away to avoid this. What I will try next time is to NOT roll so high and leave at least one strike a decent distance below the XSP highs, rather than all strikes ATM. Since we first dropped on Aug 17th I have had very dismal luck in legging on the swings, with a net LOSS on daily rolls over the 7 trading days. There is not sufficient volatility to provide sharp down moves that make swing-rolls easy during Downside Warnings.

Jackson Hole
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I’m out in Wyoming and drove from Cody to Yellowstone to Jackson Hole. Just a little north of the town of Jackson Hole I saw this place that sounded familiar. Stopped and searched online and found this is their secret hideout. Had to go in and snoop around a little. 🙂 🙂 I think I spotted JP sitting out on the patio. Lots of old guys that looked like they were trying to blend in. Nice place too!! The big pow wow starts Thursday.

#FuzzyLEAPs A pretty anemic pullback this week; VIX has barely budged and the drops on SPX were pretty mild. I was too far ITM and couldn’t manage any decent rolls the entire week, managing to miss the pullbacks and leg out right before spikes higher. Today was the worst, but fortunately the small moves meant losses were minimal.
