SPX spitting into the wind
#SPXcampaign Trying one call spread sale at this precipitous height at which we find ourselves:
Sold $SPX July 31st 2475/2500 call spreads for 5.70. Will not let this run if next week keeps barreling upward.
As whenever this happens, sizable drawdown this week, and now I lean very short the market. Tuesday was an account high for me on SPX strategy, and then it all fell apart! But I am now used to going into the hole before surging back during the next pullback.
$SVXY calls
Sold $SVXY Jan 18 2019 330 call for 9.40. Following Iceman.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average…
The Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to set fresh highs, but not every stock is participating.
Here are the top seven year-to-date losers on the index. From the plunge in oil (Chevron) to concerns on management (General Electric), each laggard has dealt with notable challenges this year unlike most others in the Dow.
Goldman Sachs (GS) : -4.2%
Intel (INTC) : -4.8%
IBM (IBM) : -7%
Exxon Mobil (XOM) : -10.2%
Chevron (CVX) : -11.4%
General Electric (GE) : -15%
Verizon (VZ) : -18.1%
SPX R3 was at 2461….
SPX R3 was at 2461. R3 resistance 99.9% would push SPX down but SPX passed it. Will soon see if it continues up or push SPX down.

APRN #ShortPuts
My daughter, a working mom of three, four if you include son-in-law husband, is an avid consumer of Blue Apron. She wanted to buy APRN IOP on opening, classic emotional stock buy reaction to a liked product, to which, I said there are too many unknown variables now, wait for earnings. As an update for her today, I suggested the Jan 18, short 5 put, @ .80 with OI of over 8k, IV 105%…she doesn’t know options…no trading today for her! P.S. son-in-law is a pretty good guy!!!
Keeping this one on the watchlist. http://tinyurl.com/ycc3xha9
No ex today, going out to attack the morning glory weeds before they consume the ole dog!
Have a great weekend…
SPX long calls sold
#SPXcampaign Closed half of long calls bought yesterday in #RiskReversal
Sold to Close $SPX July 21st 2465/2485 call spreads for 4.75. Bought yesterday for 2.65, when I also sold the July 21st 2435/2410 put spreads for 2.95. I’m letting the put spread devalue more before closing. I will hold the second half of the longs for possible continued move higher on Monday.

#LongCallDiagonals – Rolled front month EWZ Jul 14 35 call to EWZ Aug 11 35.5 call for $0.01 debit. New call is still ITM but gained $0.50 in proceeds per contract if I am assigned. Didn’t know what else to do other than close the position. Maybe it will pull back some day.

AAOI earnings
#Earnings #ShortPuts – This thing caught an upgrade today and looks like a possible short squeeze. IV through the roof for earnings also. Gonna go ahead and take an earnings shot at the 50ma. Selling now in case she continues up but can still add on a pullback. Thanks @Bobbie and everyone else that’s been watching this one…

SVXY adjustment
#ReverseRoll #ShortStrangles – I may let some stock go next week via the covered call route. Adjusting my August strangle to possibly get long again but also limiting risk.
Originally sold 80/180 strangle for 3.55 but starting to wonder about the 180 call so pulling the @Jeff reverse roll.
Rolled SVXY AUG 18 2017 180.0 Call to AUG 18 2017 185.0/175.0 Bull Put spread @ 2.20 credit.
Total premium received is now 5.75 on the 10 wide spread. Keeps going up it’s all good. If she tanks no matter how low it goes I’ll be in the stock at a basis 4.25 above where it’s trading at the time…lower the better if an implosion happens! Now…do I resell the call side? 🙂

#ShortPuts – Surprised this filled with the mark at 45 cents…
Bought to Close REGN JUL 28 2017 425.0 Put @ .10 (sold for 2.00)
Earnings the following week on 8/3. Might wait until then to sell another one or possibly get aggressive the week prior then roll into earnings if needed.
WYNN
#ShortStrangles – Can’t catch a break on Fridays on this thing. Rolling again….these are sold against DITM short calls so the drop is a good thing long term. Was trying to whack it pretty hard in the short term too though. Grrr…
BTW…just a coupe days ago Dr. J said he’s long and strong on this. Probably won’t get mentioned today since he seems to never be on the wrong side of a trade…LMAO!

$DUST #ShortPuts #Rolldown – taking a big gain on an old position to avoid assignment tonight and lowering the strike price with the stock at 31.30.
Bought to close DUST Jul 14 2017 33.0 Puts @ 1.58 – this is less than the intrinsic value of the put
Sold DUST Aug 4 2017 31.0 Puts @ 2.03 – these are OTM but not by much, so all time value.
