#IRMA – Offline all day as I slowly make my way south. Took a little time for some sightseeing today. I’m not necessarily a big college football fan but got a thrill today. Stopped in to snap a photo and ran into an Alabama fan. In spite of everything being closed we still found a way! LOL what a strange feeling in an empty stadium that must seat over 100k!

$SVXY #ShortPuts #rollout Bought to close Sept 15th 80 Puts at 0.80 with $SVXY @ 81.86. Originally sold 8/24 for 11.36 off a roll. Taking Risk off.
#SPXcampaign I closed this yesterday afternoon and sold the roll this morning:
STOPPED: $SPX Oct 4th 2515/2540 call spreads for 3.60. Sold for 1.45 last Thursday.
#CondorRoll: Sold Oct 11th 2385/2410/2535/2560 condors for 3.75.
Also: In pre-market, sold Sept 13 2490/2465 put spreads for 2.45. Expires tomorrow.
#ShortStrangles BTC $REGN 530 call for .20. Sold in the 430/530 strangle for 7.40 on Aug 23rd. My mistake was not closing the put during the rally above 500. I’m not going to roll the call down with the stock so low. If it rallies in the next week or so, I may sell a new call.
#Earnings #Assignment #LongStock
Sold shares of $BBY for 56.50, and 56.75. Cost basis 56.44 from 57.5 put assignment on 9/1.
Covered Call premium not attractive enough to play with this one. I don’t trust the business either with Amazon devouring all retail in sight. Will sell out of remaining shares as it moves up or down from here.
#SPXcampaign Rough day yesterday, not just because the market went against me but also because TOS has decided to crap out on my PC, freezing my trading at various points yesterday. Now I’ve got it up on my Mac and it’s running smoothly.
Too many stops and rolls to count yesterday. I’m weathering this drawdown as the last one… getting pretty short the market and holding it until we get a pullback. New all-time highs this morning and VIX plunging… I will be truing some short term put spreads as well as the rolls.
Any questions please forward them. I should post an updated chart tonight, but too many trades to type in here.
