#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jul29 – two…

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jul29 – two runaway freight trains, $SVXY and $NUGT, made this week hard to manage. I had to roll some more SVXY calls and even though I made a ton of money in NUGT puts, the run in the stock caused me margin issues.

I let a bit of AAPL and SVXY (IRA acct) get called away and let my last UVXY put position get assigned. Can Volatility stay this low forever? (Of course it can)
