$DUST #ShortPuts – Sold DUST…

$DUST #ShortPuts – Sold DUST Jan 20 2017 35.0 Puts @ 0.50 with the stock at 55.35.
This account is long NUGT stock so we are hoping that NUGT goes up if DUST drops by 20 points.

SPX puts sold

#SPXcampaign I just sold this as additional premium, rolled from previously stopped call spreads. It’s an aggressive strike that I will have to stop if downside pressure continues much after today.

Sold to Open $SPX Jan 6th 2230/2205 put spreads for 3.90, with SPX at 2250.

SPX ITM roll

#SPXcampaign #ITMrolling
Earlier, Bought to close $SPX Jan 4th 2265/2290 call spreads for 6.80. Sold for 7.45 last Thursday.
Rolled: Sold to Open $SPX Jan 17th 2280/2305 call spreads for 7.00

$UVXY #ShortCalls – Sold UVXY…

$UVXY #ShortCalls – Sold UVXY Jan 13 2017 10.5 Calls @ 0.31.

Strike price a half point higher than my last sale

FXI

BTO February 17, 36 puts. I would like to sell puts but there is not much premium on the puts. I think that Trump wants to raise tariffs on goods from China to level the playing field and that will not be good for the FXI. It is a small position so I may add to it if I am correct.

$UVXY #CoveredCalls – Sold UVXY Jan 13 2017 10.0 Calls @ 0.31.

If UVXY does make a 27% run to 10, SVXY will have dropped under 85. That will help me more than any UVXY move would hurt me.

$SPY iron butterfly consideration…
Looking at $SPY iron butterfly for Friday expiration. Looks rather rangebound around this 225 or 226 area.
Looking at 223/225/227 for 1.30 credit…risking 0.70
Also, considering 224/226/228 for 1.23 credit…risking 0.77
Any thoughts or concerns here. $SPY currently at 225.54.
