- Looking at the noun basis on Wiktionary.com, it indicates that the plural is either bases or baseis. It looks like the rare baseis comes from the Greek, but the common bases just refers back to basis and that does not explain the plural etymology.

#LongPuts – Bought a bunch of these during the rally the other day. Mainly to help partially protect my SOXL position. Booking them here and I’ll use the gain to decrease the SOXL basis by another 12 dollars.

AAL update
In case anybody is interested…won’t affect me since I’m out on medical leave but…
Company offering pilots long term unpaid leave (voluntary furlough) or short term leave paid at half pay or if age 63 or 64 permanent leave to age 65 retirement at half pay per month.
Also parking a bunch of old airframes that were scheduled to go anyway. All hiring cancelled indefinitely. Let’s hope this is enough but it’s shaping up to be bigger than 9-11 as far as the hit goes. Crazy times in a crazy business…

#LongPuts – On second thought I’m only holding these long puts to protect in the event of a CH. 11 filing so booking profits and buying a bunch more cheapies that would get the position out at close to even if SLB disappears.

#ShortPuts – Rolled the rest of my short puts up and in right at the close yesterday. Completely out of all them now. I did have to buy stock pre-market to cover the DITM calls I had sold yesterday against the short puts. Basically traded all the annoying short puts that were tough to sell against for a half size covered call position.
Not seeing a reverse split coming anytime soon so should have many weeks to sell.

Yesterday on the spike:
Sold UVXY MAR 13 2020 22.0 Call @ 5.30
There is still a chance UVXY could rally and the 26.5 short puts don’t get exercised. To protect the calls I’ve only rolled in half my puts. I’ll roll the other half Friday at the close if needed to get stock.
UVXY
#ShortPuts – I don’t see the volatility going away any time soon. I rolled these out too soon so bringing them back in to either get lucky getting rid of them or taking stock and aggressively selling calls against it.

Whiz emergency Sunday brief
I know it’s a lot of bluster and some bullshit but he got this move right. If you want to skip that and go straight to his outlook start at 8:50 mark. Interesting take on what some worse case scenarios could be…

Original trade:
#BullPutSpreads #Earnings – Selling slightly in the money. If I get lucky and the stock goes up it’ll be a nice winner. On the other hand, no matter how far it drops I’ll own stock about 1.70 below my basis which can be more than made up in one week of call selling with the extreme premium on this thing.
Sold SPCE FEB 28 2020 41.0/36.0 Bull Put Spreads @ 3.30
So…closing the long puts for the gains and letting the shorts get exercised. Non taxable account so selling the covered calls early using spreads. Yesterday bought puts to protect the position from anything crazy. Selling aggressively to reduce basis as quickly as possible during this high volatility.
