#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jul22 – only the continuing rally in SVXY and the decline in UVXY kept this from being a week when every short position expired.

If we can get a close above 65, I see the possibility of 85 to 90 as long as the FED is stable until the end of the year. FD, I have been wrong before.

$SVXY #CoveredCalls #Rollup #IRA – this would have been easier if SVXY had stayed near the opening price all day
Bought to close SVXY Jul 22 2016 56.0 Calls/Sold SVXY Aug 12 2016 58.5 Calls for a 0.25 Credit.
Bought to close SVXY Jul 22 2016 59.5 Calls/Sold SVXY Jul 29 2016 61.0 Calls for a 0.57 Credit.
SVXY
STO December 80 calls @2.85
SPY rolled a 209.5/213 call…
SPY rolled a 209.5/213 call spread to Aug. 5 for a debit of .34, someday the market will go down a few days in a row, someday
NUGT strangle
Sold $NUGT Aug 5 100/170 strangles @ 5.86. 70 points wide with NUGT at 135.60.
$SVXY #CoveredCalls – Sold SVXY…
$SVXY #CoveredCalls – Sold SVXY Sep 2 2016 65.0 Calls @ 3.00. My first trade in this new weekly contract.
The effective assignment price would be above the high for the year on the stock.
SPX call roll
#SPXcampaign #Rolling Was hoping to slip out of this spread next week, but the continued rally makes it too dangerous.
Bought to close $SPX July 29th 2165/2190 call spreads for 12.00. Sold as part of a condor-roll for 6.05 on June 30th.
Sold to Open $SPX Aug 26th 2175/2200 call spreads for 12.10.
AMZN closed July 29 650/640…
AMZN closed July 29 650/640 put spread for 60%, look forward to wild wild earnings
MSFT earnings trade
#Earnings Sold to close $MSFT July 22nd 56 call for .41. This was final long call. Overall, the 51/56 long strangle (bought for .62 on Tuesday) was a small loss. I sold back the calls at varying prices, averaging .50. As usual, it is better to sell into earnings than buy!
SWKS puts
Initiated a small put ladder on today’s move down:
Sold $SWKS Aug 19 57.50 puts @ .70
Sold $SWKS Nov 18 50.00 puts @ 1.40
$UVXY #CoveredCalls – Sold UVXY…
$UVXY #CoveredCalls – Sold UVXY AUG 19 2016 18.0 Calls @ 0.19 with the stock at 6.41

..and more calls sold
#SPXcampaign Sold these before the other two, but forgot to post:
Sold to Open $SPX Aug 3rd 2190/2215 call spreads for 3.10.
SPX spreads sold in 401K
#SPXcampaign Since the 401K accounts I manage are Reg T margin, any put spread in a given expiry can be offset by a call spread margin free. Since I have the July 27th 2130/2105 put spreads, I sold the following:
Sold to Open $SPX July 27th 2185/2210 call spreads for 1.70, with SPX at 2166.
I feel we’re hitting at resistance and any move higher will be slower. I also did NOT sell these in my main Portfolio Margin account, as margin is not calculated in the same way.
SPX calls sold
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Aug 18th 2225/2250 call spreads for 1.55, with SPX at 2166.

$SVXY #CoveredCalls #Rollup #IRA = starting my rolls for ITM Calls
Bought to close SVXY Jul 22 2016 56.5 Calls/Sold SVXY Aug 5 2016 59.0 Calls for a 0.50 Credit.
I added two weeks to my holding period but bumped the strike price up 2 1/2 points.
Good morning
Happy expiration.
