Maybe I should write a poem or song about theta decay. Even with a few positions making a mild move against them today still making money.
I like theta decay I like it a lot
Even when things don’t work out as planned, can still be hot
Some things go up, some go down
Even when wrong can still be around
I will enjoy the ride by selling you options but if you bought them from me you will not
How’s that I thought a Haiku or limerick would probably be the easiest
TGT low probability low risk
#Earnings – Sold 50/52/54 skewed iron fly @ 1.62
Risk 38 to make 162. Two dollars wide on a 2.66 expected move. Obviously I’m looking for all of that move to the downside…

#ShortStrangles – Breaking out to a new leg higher after a short earnings consolidation. Rolling up again…
Rolled ISRG MAY 19 2017 850.0 Put to MAY 19 2017 865.0 Put @ 4.70 Credit
Now short this week’s 865.0 put @ 14.65 selling against a June 855.0 call. With no pullback the plan is to take a little of the put premium and pay to roll up the call and sell another put next week.

#ShortStrangles – Making a pretty aggressive roll here. Feels like it might wanna gravitate towards 500 by expiration…
Rolled CMG MAY 19 2017 487.5 Put to MAY 19 2017 500.0 Put @ 6.00 Credit
Now short this week’s 500 put @ 16.10 selling against a June 450.0 call. With no pullback the plan is to take a little of the put premium and pay to roll up the call and sell another put next week.

All retail will be thru $AMZN in the future…… right?
From ZeroHedge a month ago – Fitch’s Loans of Concern list, which is a compilation of issuers with a significant risk of default within the next 12 months. And, just to make the tracking of future defaults easier, Fitch also provided the list of eight other retailers with term loan debt totaling nearly $6 billion, which are also on its concern list, and are most likely to be in default in the not too distant future. They are as follows:
Sears Holdings Corp (roughly $2.5 billion);
99 Cents Only Stores LLC;
Charming Charlie LLC;
Gymboree Corp.;
Nine West Holdings Inc.;
NYDJ Apparel LLC;
rue21, Inc.; and
True Religion Apparel Inc.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is this close to being the world’s richest man.
