$UVXY
#VXXGame
Nibbled a little
STO Feb 17 $60 calls @ $1.00
SPX puts closed
#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Jan 19th 2240/2215 put spreads for .40. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 3.25 on Jan 11th. Letting the 2300/2325 call side expire. Because this settles tomorrow morning, could not risk an overnight gap, especially with the weakness we’re now seeing.
/ES pivot points
Hey fibwizard…did you catch this move? Big bounce off lower pivot…
SVXY…taking another one for the team :)
This should do it:
Sold SVXY FEB 17 2017 110.0/105.0 Bull put spreads @ 2.25
Closing MYL
Bought to close $MYL Jan 20 38 puts for 1.20. Taking the opportunity for a small profit (sold for 1.35 in August) with the stock still in the money at 36.84 a day before expiration.
PG earnings
#Earnings #IronButterfly Not a big mover on earnings, so playing for calm.
STO $PG Jan 20th 82.5/84.5/86.5 iron butterfly for 1.28. Risking .72 to make 1.28.
Fuzzball trade, TQQQ
BTO 2019 35 calls @ 39.86
STO 2019 35 puts @4.86
STO Jan. 27, 71.5 calls @1.20
I will write weekly calls out to 2019 and can always exercise my 35 calls if called away. however, I intend to roll the weekly call options or let them expire if they are out of the money.
Closing SWKS
$SWKS Taking this one off before earnings tonight. No sense holding for .03.
Bought to close $SWKS Jan 20 65 puts @ .03. Sold for 1.10 on 12/1.
SWKS earnings
Taking a small shot on a less than expected move…
Sold Jan 20th 76/79/82 iron flies @ 2.45 risk 55 to make 245 on an expected move of 3.95
Plans to manage:
1. Close for nice winner 🙂
2. Take stock or roll if she tanks
3. Sell higher puts to bring in around .55 if she screams higher.
Rolling $REGN
Continue to sell calls on $REGN that was put to me

$NFLX earnings IC — out :)
Got out of my IC from yesterday. Sold for 1.22, got out for 0.25 as I have to leave my desk for the day and can’t watch it if it bounces up now.
Glad to take the money and run.
GS…right back in
#BullPutSpreads – Selling just slightly ITM. If the 50ma doesn’t hold, and no matter how far it drops, I’ll be able to get in just 2.55 below the current stock price. If she bounces, it’s a nice winner. How can this go wrong with 4 former GS guys in the Trump cabinet…LOL
