NTES
#ShortPuts #IRA – Biggest loser on my watchlist today. Selling a little more aggressively than usual but still at the expected move and at the 50ma and down in congestion. Most importantly, this is the week prior to earnings. 30 days out and just prior is one of my favorite sales. Get good decay and still have the earnings volatility to roll (or sell) into.
Sold 1 NTES MAY 10 2019 250.0 Put @ 3.80
18.8% annulized…

#ShortPuts #CoveredCalls – I’m short a DITM covered call out in June so turning it into a covered strangle with a put sale. Hoping this takes some heat. Filled immediately so maybe could’ve done better.

NVDA
#ShortPuts – Best ticker of the year so far and hate to not be involved. I rarely sell puts on rising stocks but taking a shot anyway. Selling near the expected move and close to the rising 50ma for a basis if I get the stock. Two weeks prior to earnings also. This is also the level it could fall back to in Dan’s old phase 2 of a squeeze breakout. Wow…I’ve almost convinced myself that I hope the stock falls! 🙂 🙂

STX
#CoveredCalls – Completely forgot about the dividend risk of DITM covered calls. Was holding STX this week for the divvy that went ex today. Friday’s 41.5 calls exercised overnight so missed the divvy. Should’ve rolled them out a couple more weeks.
On the bright side stock basis of 39.65 so not all bad…
