ILMN puts

Sold $ILMN Dec 16 110 (delta 10) puts @ 1.25.

$SVXY

Taking some risk off prior to FOMC release. Bought to close Oct 21st 60 Puts @ .35. Originally sold for 1.30.

REGN roll

Pretty aggressive (crazy? 🙂 ) here….rolling un-threatened call down into congestion for additional premium.

Rolled next week’s 410 call down to 380 @ 5.20 credit. This is against a 380 put…

Current position is 380 straddle @ 15.10. Have to see where she goes next week and adjust accordingly.

WYNN…still selling

Sold WYNN OCT 21 2016 100.0 Calls @ 1.30

Still selling weeklies against in the money puts. Similar to a covered call trade. Plan is to roll the puts out and down next week and keep selling the calls.

Position is now Oct monthly 108/100 inverted strangle @ 13.77 credit received.

Let’s say WYNN doesn’t get back to 108 for a year. Selling weeklies @ 1.25 a week for a year would bring breakeven down to about 30 bucks. The power of the weekly! Not bad for margin of 1300 per strangle….

ILMN

STO ILMN 21Oct16 130/135 BuPS @ 1.15

Good morning

I see support on the SPX at 2120 so I am waiting to see if we bounce from there or go through that level. Right now I am agnostic about the market

SPX call spreads closed

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Nov 4th 2235/2260 call spreads for .20. Sold last week for 1.40.

AMZN I know some of…

AMZN
I know some of us have been counting on some sort of meaningful correction. I’d like to point out that as soon as I closed an AMZN call spread, AMZN stopped going up, the market had a nice down day yesterday, it’s looking like another today. Yes-I can move markets!
