TQQQ 3 for 1 split….and others

#StockSplits – Have to say I missed this. Kinda surprised when I got back in and saw some strange numbers in my account. Quite a few funds forward and reverse splitting. I was wanting a few more contracts in TQQQ and looks like I got them! 🙂

Downside Warning Canceled

#VIXIndicator I did a double-take when I looked at my screen. Wouldn’t have thought a day opening as negative as we did would finally get us across the threshold, but looks like the official close on VIX is 12.58. That’s the first close this low since January 26th.

If we close below 12.61 for two more consecutive days… tomorrow and Friday, that will be an Upside Warning.

May 23 Rolls #PieTrades #CoveredBackRatio
LMT x 2: Closed Jade Lizards for this week capturing $820 in profit, about 40% of max, but close to max on the graph position. Flat LMT right now. The campaign to get a stock assignment for 300 shares (for div) brought in $2820 in 3 weeks. Abandoning pursuit of div at this point.
BABA x2: Rolled calls from May 25 to June 1 collecting $303 on the roll. #CoveredBackRatio Cost Basis $195.88
NVDA: Rolled calls from May 25 to June 1 collecting $686 on the roll. $257.5 assignment now has a basis of $244.57
MA: Rolled calls from May 25 to June 1 collecting $136 on the roll. #CoveredBackRatio Cost Basis: $188.81
SHAK: New Covered BackRatio Dec 52.5c x 4, -57.5c x 2, short June 1 58.5, Starting cost basis: $57.17

Last Sunday night I added up all the sold premium for May 25 expiration. TT says plan on keeping 25% of sold premium. Sunday night I had a total of $11,613. As of today $6,542 of that has been booked. Still to manage this week: AMZN, BA, CRM, IBM, NFLX.

#shortputs #coveredcallcampaign #assignment CRUS

I was assigned CRUS through the exercise of a short 45 put. This started as a put spread that went bad, sold the long and rolled the short to June 15, giving me a basis of 40.15, not bad if CRUS stabilizes, on to selling calls. CELG discussion below noted.

#Fuzzballl

#SyntheticStock

I am holding #SyntheticStock position in $CELG. 105/105/100 for July. Last night I was assigned the 105 Puts.
I was still in the process of covering max loss by selling Calls and would have achieved this if the roof had not fallen in!

Would appreciate your thought’s on the the best way to handle this.
