Closed Sept. 15 CRM 90/85 put spread for .44 sold yesterday for 1.02, thanks Jeff. I’d hang on for more, but the stock is barely up today around 93.50.
LOW, Sept. 15, closed the 80/85 call side of an IC for .06, sold for .66 yesterday, the 65/70 put side is close to even with the stock seemingly solidifying around 72.50.

#ShortStrangles – New position selling well before next earnings. Strangling near the 200ma and above all time high.
Sold TSLA SEP 29 2017 300.0/400.0 Strangle @ 4.20
#ShortCalls – January positions look pretty safe so let’s take a small shot in Dec and give it something to shoot for. Gonna take a lot of work and repair to get back to all time highs and to exceed the trend line that’s stood the test of time as a guide to my call selling. Still some nice premium in these but going with a starter for now…
Sold 1 SVXY DEC 15 2017 100.0 Call @ 2.60
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Sept 22nd 2330/2305 put spreads for 1.50, with SPX at 2445.
Anyone know a good ETF with weeklies and decent volume? XTN no options and IYT no weeklies. Anything else?
Taking Iceman’s trade from yesterday. Risky, since the stock is a lot closer to the strike today but any kind of move up in the next 2 days will deflate the premium quickly. If I’m wrong, I’ll roll out.
Sold $CMG Aug 25 295 puts @ 1.20.
On vacation but at home and market is giving some opportunities.
Rolled WDC this week cc at 84 and 85 to 9/8 for 0.25 credit rolling up to 85 and the others were rolled to 84 at 0.90-0.97. Cost basis now under strike, will probably let assignment happen in 2 weeks if we are still above and then restart put ladder.
Will update the VXX synthetic on Friday, so far so good……….
#ShortStrangles – Back into an old favorite…filled at the open but could do better now.
Sold REGN SEP 29 2017 430.0/530.0 Strangle @ 7.00
#Earnings Bought to close $CRM Aug 25th 90 puts for .10. Sold yesterday in the 90/85 put spread for 1.00. I will keep the longs as lottery tickets.
$UVXY #ShortCalls – mid week sales for this week’s expiration with the stock at 33.08.
Sold UVXY AUG 25 2017 46.5 Calls @ 0.25
Sold UVXY AUG 25 2017 47.0 Calls @ 0.24
Strikes are above the stock peak on 8/11 of 45.73
This could be an interesting day.
