TNA 26.5 Puts (sold for 1.19)
#ShortPuts – Unloading a lot of risk a couple weeks early. Rode the SPY 290.0 all the way down and all the way back up with no adjustments so very happy to be out of that one.
Bought to Close SPY JUN 19 2020 280.0 Put @ .31 (sold for 2.50)

#ShortPuts #Earnings #OneNightStand – Good enough…
Bought to Close DOCU JUN 19 2020 125.0 Put @ .90 (sold for 2.60)
#ShortPuts – Tried a little different strateegery on this one. Had some covered calls that got run over that were below my basis. A couple weeks ago I let the stock get called away for a loss and immediately started selling aggressive puts. This was easier and quicker to recover than trying to roll DITM calls.
Staying aggressive…daring Mr. Market to come after these.
Sold TNA JUN 19 2020 30.0 Puts @ 1.41 (replacing today’s expiration)

Sold DOCU JUN 19 2020 125.0 Put @ 2.60
#ShortPuts – Just about the only stock on my list that’s lower today. Stop set on my June 315 so going out a couple weeks beyond that but well before earnings. Selling at the 50ma and the expected move. Also have a covered call ITM so wouldn’t mind some weakness…
Sold NVDA JUL 02 2020 315.0 Put @ 5.50
#BullPutSpreads – In a nice squeeze and looks strong. MGM breaking out and LVS and PENN strong. But…for risk reduction selling a spread in case of an implosion. At least I’ll get it at a nice basis no matter how low it goes on a pullback.

#ShortPuts #Earnings – Hesitated posting this because it could be crazy. I’ve got a DITM covered call in this thing that’s going to need a pullback to help with the roll. What’s a great way to get a pullback? Add a (sort of) long position… 🙂 Closed a bunch of SPY this week so have some spare buying power but this does get me overweight in this ticker.
Going out to May monthly selling twice the expected move and down where my covered call got run over…
