AMZN

The big thing I’ll be watching today is AMZN, since I have an ITM naked put on it. Last Friday watching it pin 1600 was a beautiful thing. There is adequate OI on the 1600 line today to support a move back up there again. If I’m going to keep playing AMZN it’s got to be done more safely, with one of our stock replacement structures. If I do take assignment, I’ve designed a “#SharkFinHedge ” that has a max loss of about 1/3 of my next call sale to provide about another $10 downside along w/ the new call sale for next week. Here’s what the hedge looks like: May 25 1565/1555/1550 broken wing put butterfly for about $2.00 debit. Keeping these tight with DTE means they move more quickly with underlying price movement. I also will sell calls near the close in advance of assignment. Stay tuned!

Good morning

I only have 1 expiration today which is an AMZN 1310/1360 bull put spread. I have been covering my put exposure when they get down to 5 or 10 cents. GOOGL could be interesting today because 60 minutes is going after them. I will look at that after the opening and perhaps another bull put spread. Other than that, I think interest rates are important and they are going higher IMHO. So other than my Fuzzy trades I have nothing to do. I will be going to the GYM after 10AM. Have a nice day.
