How do you know if your in the money short call might be at risk during an ex-dividend event? Here’s a quick and easy way. Just look at the value of the corresponding put:
Any option that has an extrinsic value of less than the amount of the dividend might be a candidate for early exercise. So if a trader is short an ITM call and the strike’s corresponding put is trading for less than the upcoming dividend, they’re more likely to be assigned.

Schwab?
TDA had been bought out and at some point in the next few months I’ll be transferred. I was just wondering about their cash sweep account for unused cash sitting in the option trading accounts. I was at Fidelity before TDA and they used something called FDRXX which is currently yielding 4.18%.
TDA has nothing for the cash sweep so I was considering moving back to Fidelity. If Schwab has something similar to FDRXX I would definitely stay since TOS is far superior to Fidelity Active Trader Pro.
All I can find on the Schwab website is a thing called SWGXX with a similar yield to the Fidelity product.
Any Schwab guys out there?

Breaking News!!
No, I’m not pregnant. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Been waiting awhile for a chance to do this. This big runup has presented the perfect opportunity. Been an interesting 13 months but I’ve managed to stay 100 percent in the market the entire time. With this rally and all accounts sitting at lifetime highs I’m closing all non SPY positions and from this point forward will only be trading SPY. Looking at my history during the last couple years I’ve managed to do pretty good with it in all kinds of markets. Can’t beat the liquidity and expirations available. A little bit of a divvy kicker to boot and ZERO single stock risk.
It was a mixed bag over the last year but more and bigger winners than losers so can’t complain. Here’s a summary of every ticker for the last 13 months.
(Very) Big Winners:

I can’t say that I won’t take advantage of opportunities if I see them but it would have to be something like XBI at 60 or TLT at 90. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Still holding TLT and some XBI at this point while gradually unwinding them. Everything else is gone except some current SPY positions I elected to keep.

Date: December 28, 2022
Subject: VanEck Russia ETF – Anticipated Liquidation/Anticipated Adjustment
Option Symbol: RSX
Date: ???
Background: On September 20, 2022, the Board of VanEck ETF Trust (“Board”) approved the Plan of
Liquidation and Termination of Series (“Plan”) for the VanEck Russia ETF (RSX). On December 28, 2022
(“Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.
As stated in the Plan filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit C to the
Application for an Order Pursuant to 22(e)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and dated
December 28, 2022, VanEck ETF Trust intends to convert all of the portfolio securities of RSX not already
converted to cash or cash equivalents into cash or cash equivalents. RSX intends to distribute all of its
remaining assets (after discharge of its liabilities and expenses) in one or more liquidating distributions
(“Liquidating Distributions”) on a pro rata basis to RSX ETF holders between the Effective Date and the
Termination Date. As described in the Plan, the Termination Date is December 31, 2023, subject to
amendment.
It is expected that the CBOE BZX Exchange will delist RSX shares on or about January 12, 2023, when
RSX is expected to make its initial Liquidating Distribution.
The Liquidating Distributions will likely be in the form of cash but may be in the form of other property as
described in the Plan.
Contract Adjustment
The option symbol RSX will not change.
Date: Anticipated to be on or about January 12, 2023
New Deliverable
Per Contract: 100 x the value of the Liquidating Distribution amount(s), if any, received by
RSX ETF holders as described in the Plan.
The Liquidating Distribution(s) may be distributed in the form of cash or other property.
Delayed Settlement
RSX options will be subject to delayed settlement, effective December 28, 2022, until the value of the
Liquidating Distribution(s) is determined. Existing broker-to-broker obligations in RSX options will remain
subject to broker-to-broker settlement.

#BearPutSpreads – Since I’m still net long overall throwing a futures hedge out there to help a little on any further downside. I would probably close these early if we recover above the 50 day for a few days.

SPY: Rolled some, took assignment on some. Also with the big pullback I was able to get a lot of my short calls back at a profit and then re-sell them closer in time. Unfortunately I had to roll them earlier in the week due to dividend risk.
