SNOW Earnings

#ShortPuts #Earnings – I’ve got one account that’s nearly all cash so going pretty aggressive here. Looking out to the monthly expiration and selling below the 50ma and with breakeven at the expected move. First earnings announcement for SNOW so who knows where it goes…

Sold SNOW DEC 18 2020 250.0 Put @ 6.00

EDIT: Since this is it’s first ever announcement buying a disaster put for this week…

Bought SNOW DEC 4 2020 225.0 Put @ .50

TSLA

#ShortPuts – I normally wouldn’t get quite this aggressive but next week’s look pretty safe so taking advantage of the drop today and selling right at the expected move.

Sold TSLA DEC 24 2020 460.0 Put @ 9.80

TSLA (Diagonal Jade Lizard?)

#JadeLizards – Not sure what this is really called. Selling a call spread two weeks out and a put one week out. No upside risk and possibly allowing an extra put sale the second week. Slightly bullish overall…

Sold TSLA DEC 11 2020 475.0 Put @ 3.40
Sold TSLA DEC 18 2020 590.0/595.0 Bear Call Spread @ 1.67

NVDA

#ShortPuts – This was originally a pretty conservative sale. Rolling up for a little more credit as it tries to break above the 50ma. Still outside the expected move.

Rolled NVDA DEC 18 2020 450.0 Put to DEC 18 2020 490 Put @ 2.60 credit (5.80 total now)

ZM

#ShortStrangles – Just to hopefully take advantage of the big selloff a little more rolling a put in and up to get to expiration sooner. New sale is at the expected move and offset by the earlier call sale.

Rolled ZM DEC 31 2020 325.0 Put to DEC 18 2020 360.0 Put @ 1.40 credit (5.60 total now)

Bought to Close BIIB NOV 27 2020 260.0 Call @ .24 (sold for 2.35)

NFLX

#ShortPuts – Stay at home stocks selling off a little again today. How low can they go? Once again selling outside the expected move and well below the 200ma. Also about 3 weeks prior to earnings so very rollable if needed…

Sold NFLX DEC 31 2020 425.0 Put @ 4.20

#ShortPuts – Selling at the expected move, near recent lows and below the 200ma…

Sold TDOC DEC 24 2020 170.0 Put @ 2.96

TSLA

#ShortPuts – In a different account than today’s earlier sale…strictly a play on entering the S&P so way more directional than I usually go. Stops set on very profitable Dec 4th 400.0 and Dec 11th 325.0 strikes sold earlier so adding this on today’s slight weakness.

Sold TSLA DEC 18 2020 450.0 Put @ 18.55

BYND Earnings

#JadeLizards #Earnings – Looks like we’re not getting rid of cows quite yet… 🙂

Rolled call spread side of the Lizard down from 144/147 to 120/124 for 1.09 credit against a 125 put. Total credit now 4.14 so still no upside risk. Dead zone in this position is from 124.14 to 125.00 I’d be happy for it to get back to those levels.

BIIB

#ShortPuts #CoveredCalls – Got lucky with a 290 put expiration on Friday since the stock never opened. In a different account I’ll be assigned at about 271 so covering that now on this little bounce. Will continue mixing in put sales as well. The actual announcement on the drug isn’t until March so might have decent premium until then.

Sold BIIB NOV 27 2020 260.0 Call @ 2.35

Also taking the morning scalp…

NVDA

#ShortStrangles – Learned my lesson on BIIB. Playing my other short strangle cautiously since this thing looks to be getting some momentum here.

Was short the 512.5/535 @ 16.10

Bought back short call @ 12.20 and letting the put for next week ride with 3.90 of premium still available. Earnings on the 18th.

BIIB

#ShortStrangles – Wild move with the announcment of the new drug. Have to admit I didn’t know that was in the pipeline. Was short 220 puts against a 315 call (2 puts x 1 call). Closing the short call for safety and letting the short puts ride. Will look for new put sales to make up the difference.

Bought to Close BIIB NOV 6 2020 315.0 Call @ 24.25 (12.30 premium received so loss of 11.95)
