OptionsExpiration
I’m not going to be around for the rest of the day so I’m posting these just a tad early. Given that this is a monthly expiration, I have a very short list. Just not many opportunities post election to enter positions. I’m focusing on making good entries. Some of you will have a huge list, good job.

Closing NUGT calls
#ShortCalls Closed this position to avoid assignment today. This was a rollout from deep deep deep in the money calls and had to be rolled several times (the last time when NUGT was around 33!) Obviously glad to be out of this one for an ultimate profit and glad to be out of the other out of the money short NUGT calls that will be expiring today.
Bought to close $NUGT Jan 20 9.00 calls @ 1.36. Sold for 24.30 as a rollout on 8/3/16.

$NUGT #CoveredCalls #IRA – normally I would let this week’s worthless option roll off and attempt to sell next week’s on Monday. But with NUGT running hard toward the close I’ve decided to roll instead.
I’m spending a little to buy back worthless calls but who knows what Monday will bring.
Bought to close NUGT JAN 20 2017 12.0 Calls @ 0.01
Sold NUGT JAN 27 2017 12.0 Calls @ 0.23

This link lists commissions and fees, however my accounts are awaiting funding so I can’t give an actual spread total yet. https://tastyworks.com/commissions-and-fees.
Hope this link works???

Thoughts anyone on this strangle MCD Jan 27 116/129 for .34 cr??? MCD has earnings on 1/23.
SWKS earnings
Sold SWKS JAN 20 2017 87.0 Puts @ .37
This is an attempt to offset the .55 loss on the iron flies. Sold 1 for 1 so still at least a .18 loss. Darn platform locked up and had to jump over to the regular website to reset all the standing orders and missed slightly higher premium. Still, I’ll take this earnings week every week!
SPX calls sold

$UVXY #ShortCalls #VXXGame – sold these yesterday afternoon but couldn’t report them since I was travelling.
Sold 1 UVXY Mar 17 2017 60.0 Call @ 2.60
Sold 1 UVXY Jun 16 2017 60.0 Call @ 6.60.
These are extraordinary premiums given that the stock would have to double to put them in the money.
$CVS #CoveredCalls – early assignment…
$CVS #CoveredCalls – early assignment last night on CVS JAN 20 2017 82.5 Calls.
Acquired the stock on a put assignment at 80 last year.
I had intended on rolling the call up a bit, but this is fine. Closer to cash.
