Several chances to get out at small profit or breakeven. The rage of profitability really decreases quickly as we approach expiration. I need to take money and run and quit waiting for the long shot of a jackpot.

BA
#ShortPuts – Losing my enthusiasm for this one. If 320 doesn’t hold there’s not much under it to stop it. Taking a small gain and waiting for earnings now.

FB
FB is breaking out to a new high and earnings are on Jan. 29 so, I bought a 220/240 bull call spread for 7.65 and a March 20 expiration. To help pay for the spread I sold the 205 put at 3.34,

Appears to be in a nice volatility squeeze without increase in volume. Looks like it could pop to the upside, but hasn’t yet.
Any ideas on how to play this, or just watch? Thoughts appreciated?

PNC closed
#Earnings #Assignment On Tuesday I bought $PNC Jan17/Jan24 160 #DoubleCalendar for .50.
Stock dropped too much so trade was a loser. Assigned last night on the puts at 160.00.
Today, sold long puts for 6.60 and stock for 153.53. So I managed to squeeze .13 out of closing the trade.
