#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan6 – A…
#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan6 – A somewhat light week for options expirations. $SVXY and $NUGT had big upside moves, and $UVXY and $DUST both declined sharply before bouncing on Friday.
Luckily I had previously covered my UVXY 7 puts at a penny before this week’s pullback. I rolled in the money DUST puts down a few strike prices, but I did it on the opening and would have done better if I had waited out the day.

Yesterday, I followed Bobbie with a 37 strangle @2.65 for January 13 expiration. We need more volatility in gold next week.
New all-time high on the SPX
We are still above a new low on the VIX, but this should be the second day of VIX close below 11.73…. Bullish #VIXIndicator

$ILMN put spread
STO Jan 20 130/125 BuPS for 1.03
$ILMN has broken upward above the 50 day moving average. Certainly could pull back to it, but suspect 130 is safe in 2 weeks. Will manage at 50-60% profit if I’m correct.
REGN…oops
Earlier this week sold a Feb 3rd 335/412.5 strangle thinking that was the week before earnings. Looking a little closer, they seem to always announce late in the week during the first week of the month. Since that might be earnings I’m closing it for a .15 loss and replacing it with the week prior.
Sold REGN JAN 27 2017 322.5/395 Strangle @ 5.40 (5.25 with the loss on the “roll”)

So far, I have earned 12.50 in premium from selling weekly options since December 23, when I put the trade on. I also shorted the 500 puts in 2019 for a credit of 27.50 points but I am not counting that as a profit until it expires.

RH…buh bye
#Earnings – Not liking the way this is acting. Dan made a comment that he was in a RH store the other night and it was dead and the employees looked bored…LOL Since this is from an old earnings trade and not a long term position I’m interested in, I’m unloading the stock and letting the remaining short calls expire. Net loss of 90 cents per share on a small position. If this 30 level doesn’t hold, the mid 20’s could be in play.
