Hey guy’s, I’m going to…
Hey guy’s, I’m going to be travelling tomorrow so won’t have any access to the market. I’ll try to post my expiring options at some point over the weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone.

UAL trade update
#Earnings BTC UAL July 22nd 48 calls for .10. Now I have cleared away all risk and locked in about 1.35 profit. I will try to sell the long 45.5 puts remaining (one just filled for .13), and the long 50 calls if it rallies tomorrow.
$IOC
Here’s a blast from the past. InterOil to be bought by Exxon Mobile for more than 2.5Bn. N.P. Traded options on this thing for those who remember.

Anyone doing a SPX bonus…
Anyone doing a SPX bonus spread for tomorrow?
$NUGT
Sold Aug 5th 100 Put @ 2.28. Stepping cautiously with a single contract.
One question: In the category selection which is the best descriptor(s) to use for this. Thanks
Trimming NUGT

STO Jul 29 $100 put @ $1.20
Also sold a very small number of calls, not the best time to be doing that, but I’m a little heavy on puts so needed to add a few calls just in case. I was early with these.
STO Jul 29 $180 call @ 0.90
STO Aug 5 $200 call @ $1.20

SPX Opening range…a really narrow…
SPX Opening range…a really narrow 4 points, 2170.55 to 2174.50. Maybe a good day for golf, VooDoo donuts or retail therapy?!
$NUGT bought Jul 22 $145…
$NUGT bought Jul 22 $145 call for 0.70, sold 7/14 for 19.52, now to get the price of NUGT back up to 145.
UAL earnings
#Earnings #IronCondor
On $UAL condor I covered my short puts yesterday, so I’m now replacing the premium I spent on that by selling the long puts. One for .17 and one for .20 so far. Will hold the rest for awhile in case this thing really collapses. Looks like the call spreads will expire worthless, meaning max profit on the trade; maybe higher if these long puts get juicy.
MSFT
@jeffcp66. What are you going to do with your puts from the Strangle earlier this week? Just let ’em go, or try to roll in some fashion? I don’t really want to add more cost by trying to roll them. What do you think?
SPX puts expire & puts close
#SPXcampaign Last night, $SPX July 20th 2135/2110 put spreads expired. Sold for 1.50 last Friday.
In pre-market, bought to close $SPX July 29th 2075/2050 put spreads for .20. Sold for 2.90 on July 9th.
