Helps the margin but keeps gray hairs away as well.

Couldn’t get filled, darn it, on the put side, but closed after 1 day 830/840 call spread, made an easy no stress .52. Thanks Jeff
MDLZ–borrowed an idea from TastyTrade
Sold $MDLZ Jan 20 38/44 strangles for 1.05. Earnings not expected until after opex.
GLD
#ShortCalls I’ll keep a close eye on this week’s 112.5’s while getting a jump on next week’s batch.
Sold GLD DEC 16 2016 112.0 Calls @ .88
$SVXY #ShortCalls – I’ve changed…
$SVXY #ShortCalls – I’ve changed my mind about holding most of my Dec calls to expiration as SVXY tops 90 dollars.
The remaining time premium to be earned in the December contract is very small and waiting to roll at a potentially higher stock price next week would make the trade even harder to do.
Bought to close SVXY Dec 16 2016 80 Calls / Sold SVXY Jun 16 2017 100.0 Calls @ 1.58 Credit.
This is partly for margin reasons since I’m typically at least 2 for 1 overwritten on my long stock. I’m rolling anything with a strike price below 85 out to next year with a big jump in strike price.
EWW
#Strangles #ShortPuts Started out selling strangles on this thing and rolling down puts and selling more calls. Now that it seems like it’s wanting to form a base here I’m turning all bullish. Instead of selling any calls I’m adding to the current puts to get it to a full position.
Sold EWW DEC 16 2016 45.0 Puts @ 1.00

REGN early assignment
#Assignment #EarlyAssignment #shortputs
Assigned 100 shares of REGN from Dec 9th 415 short put. Was planning to roll by Friday but someone got greedy. I may hold the stock or roll it back to a short put or short strangle.

Didn’t think it would happen but was filled 15 seconds before the close yesterday. I drive a couple older cars and know how much I spend at Autozone so went aggressively bullish. Got lucky!

SVXY calls sold
#VXXGame #ShortCalls This has worked beautifully over the past year. I don’t play SVXY as much as I used to, but when we are at new highs and the rally slows down, selling juicy premium in calls is golden.
STO SVXY Jan 20th 95 call for 4.35
STO SVXY Mar 17th 100 call for 7.00
SPX puts sold
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open Jan 6th 2090/2065 put spreads for 1.40, with SPX at 2204.

$SVXY #ShortCalls – with the stock at 88.50 and at a new high, and having sucked most of the time premium off of my December Calls, I’m rolling some big positions out and significantly up.
