#CoveredCalls #Dividends – I’m not sure how SPY reacts to dividends and how likely a call position DITM is of getting exercised early. Was going to let this get called away at a tiny profit but I’ll hang onto it for the weekend to make sure I get the divvy.
Rolled SPY JUN 19 2020 263.0 Calls to JUN 22 2020 265.0 Calls @ 2.02 debit
Paying .02 to insure what is hopefully about a 1.40 divvy.
#ShortPuts – Still have covered calls ITM so trying to talk it down a little more. 108 strike looks safe this week so adding. Earnings not until early August but still decent premium and easy fills.

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 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.
