Just FYI, now that Schwab…

Just FYI, now that Schwab is gradually destroying TOS I have had 4 phone calls this morning saying I need to close my SPX positions by 2 pm or they will do it for me.

Whatever happened to cash settled. I actually want them to expire because they are winning trades and I want all the time value.

Bummer but be aware!

SNOW

Early assignment from an earnings iron fly lottery ticket. Goal is to get out at even now.

Rolled 114 covered call down to 110 @ 1.75 credit for this Friday. Basis 110.10 now. Close enough I’d probably let it go there.

fuzzballl 9:36 am on Wednesday, August 28, 2024

SPX update

Haven’t really mentioned it in awhile. Still have all 5 positions and short puts currently sitting at Oct monthly 5570 strike. Since they are just out of the money and nearing the sweet spot for theta the 5 positions are overall running 388 per day theta. That will decrease as we get closer to expiration.

Really no hurry to roll these in and up yet since overall they are net 92 long deltas. If the market rallies or time passes where they get to neutral or negative deltas then I might consider the roll. For now really happy with the overall setup. Bigly profitable YTD so just watching time pass for now.
