#ShortPuts #IRA – One of my favorite tickers so adding here. Seems to be stabilizing above it’s 50ma but still near the bottom of it’s recent implosion. Based on the April expected move 137 is a possibility so selling near that area. 15.2% annualized if it goes to expiration…
Sold NVDA APR 18 2019 140.0 Put @ 3.30
A TRADE: Seems I’m a 2 trick pony today. HIIQ & SLDB
HIIQ STO 3/15/19 PUT @5.10
#Earnings Bought to Open $HLF Feb22/Mar01 57.5 #DoubleCalendar for .45. (Got it for .42 in a TOS account)
#SPX1dte Premium just too low to sell, so I chose long today.
Bought to Open $SPX Feb 20th 2735/2750-2815/2820 condors for .50. (IV 9.56%, SPX 2786)
15-wide on put side and only 5-wide on call side. Not too far OTM so any reasonable move toward these should give me at least a small profit… but not expecting much!
HIIQ Broke a double top at 42.0 today on the Point & Figure chart, a buy signal.
HIIQ BTO STOCK @32.95 Adding in small increments. Redundant. ;>)
SLDB BTO STOCK @8.30 An add. Have some from lower.
WTW keeps going down. Is it going to recover? 😉
HIIQ STO 3/15/19 41.0 PUTS @3.50
HIIQ STO 3/15/19 42.0 PUTS @4.10
HIIQ BTO STOCK @42.65 Chased a little.
HIIQ BTC 3/15/19 44.0 CALLS @3.70, STO this morning, a mistake, not in my plan. Will be out of HIIQ before expiration next week.
