This one was so underwater most of this week, that I felt fortunate to get out at a (small) profit. Didn’t want to chance another spike tomorrow with this option expiring.
Bought to close $NUGT 4/15 75 calls @ 1.05. Sold for 1.20 on on 4/6.

$UVXY #ShortPuts #VXXGame – Bought to close UVXY Apr 15 2016 18.0 Puts @ 0.30. These expire tomorrow and are currently out of the money but I don’t trust the stock to stay here for another 24 hours.
Originally sold @ 0.47, so a bit of a gain.
And these were in the money just an hour ago.

NUGT #ShortCalls – got an early assignment on some NUGT April 47 calls. Since Ameritrade has no stock to borrow, I covered the short at 77.30.
To offset the pain a bit I sold the following after the short stock was gone –
Sold NUGT Apr 15 2016 88.0 Calls @ 0.30 – these expire tomorrow
Sold NUGT Apr 22 2016 100.0 Calls @ 1.10 – these expire next week

DAL earnings report
#Earnings Delta Airlines’ earnings are in, and the stock is up as expected. I will be looking for this to settle in at 49.00 at Friday’s close. I will be putting some close orders in after the open today to take profits if they become available before Friday. I’ll list those orders as a comment below this post.
