Jan 22 #PieTrades LMT is…

Jan 22 #PieTrades
LMT is one of my all time favorite tickers. I feel like I’ve been a grimy street urchin staring in the the window of a sweet shop as I missed the last LMT swing, and also w/ earnings next week, been covering my eyes on it. But, today gave a great opp for my first Pie Trades! Sold this week 327 puts for .90 x 8.

Boatloads of #Fuzzy trades
1. Closed all the “twisted fuzzy” trades for small gains/losses (less than $100 per)
2 Opened new unhedged fuzzies on SPY, Feb 282/282/279 for 1.93 (only 4-lots)
3. I’ve mentioned the “Gorilla Trades” service before. Pretty great service. Their picks are very often best played with shares vs. options (monthlies, thin). But I’m tired of getting left behind on the myriad of explosive moves in their portfolio. So I’m using unhedged fuzzies, small lot, to create a shotgun approach in building a Gorilla portfolio. On Friday I put on a 3-lot unhedged fuzzy on Gorilla pick INGN, it was closed today for 357% gain. Additional openings today: BAH, MYGN, IP.
4. Unhedged fuzzy on MSFT from Friday was closed for 40% gain, then placed again immediately after seeing #UOA on it. I now have Apr 90/90/85 for 2.45 x 10.

NFLX Booming AH

Looks like our trades for NFLX earnings might be fine.
Lets hope gravity does not exhibit its charm anytime soon.

NFLX earnings

#Earnings Added a Jan 26th 205 put for 1.19 before the bell. Was waiting for a bit more pullback but it went the wrong way. So I have two strangles…

#SyntheticStock – Booking this one also. Caught it right at the squeeze and we’re in day 9 now so gotta be close to a rest (or maybe phase 2 ? ) Just crossed into negative deltas so outta here. I’ll get back in on a pullback or sell something for earnings.

Sold to Close Jan 2019 175/175/170 synthetic
