$SVXY #CoveredCalls #VXXGame #Rollup – More rolls for this week’s #ITM positions.

Bought to close SVXY June 10 2016 60.0 Calls / Sold to Open SVXY Jul 15 2016 64.0 Calls at a 0.70 Credit
Bought to close SVXY June 10 2016 62.0 Calls / Sold to Open SVXY Jul 01 2016 66.0 Calls at a 0.40 Credit

I only have this week’s strike 65 calls left to cover but I may take assignment if the stock ends up above 65 on Friday.

NUGT ITM rolls

I was assigned early on these so I’m buying them in and sold calls to replace the assigned contracts. I sold the options first, before buying the stock back (when NUGT was 109), and then got a bit of a lucky break as NUGT started to weaken. I waited as the stock went down and got out at 106.78. But I’ll take whatever good news I can get when rolling ITM losses like this.

Assigned on June 45 and 48 calls.
Bought the stock to cover at 106.78.

To recapture from assignment of 45 call: 61.78 (106.78-45.00)
Sold $NUGT Aug 19 45 call @ 65.00
Credit: 3.22

To recapture from assignment of 48 calls: 58.75 (106.78-48.00)
Sold $NUGT Sep 16 48 calls @ 63.70

$NUGT #ShortCalls #Rollup – I…

$NUGT #ShortCalls #Rollup – I had been holding out hope that these positions would work out but this morning’s move put a stake in the heart of that idea. So I rolled up and out.

Bought to close NUGT Jun 17 2016 72.0 Calls / Sold NUGT Jan 20 2017 120.0 Calls @ a 0.15 Credit
Bought to close NUGT Jun 17 2016 94.0 Calls / Sold NUGT Sep 16 2016 145.0 Calls @ a 0.15 Credit

I added significantly to the strike prices without spending any cash. It’s just going to cost me time (I hope)

Maybe it’s time to buy the VIX

Zzzzzzzz…

First post of the day? Wow, this is a boring market. I’m pretty short the market with a bunch of call spreads. Nothing much to do but wait for some pullback or roll things higher and farther.

Adding CMG put

Sold $CMG Jul 15 390 put @ 4.50. Adding to July position at a lower strike.
