Afternoon all Hope your day is going well. #ShortPuts I was able to pop in between distractions and sold to open July 21st 110 Puts @ 2.35 with $SVXY @ 147.13. This was a few minutes after the low of the day. I feel very lucky. Hope it lasts.

#SVXY
Morning all Question on the pending split of $SVXY on July 17th. How will this effect the options in force after the split. Will the strike remain the same and the number of shares be reduced to 50, or will the strike be cut in half with the number of shares remaining at 100. Thanks for your time and I apologize if this is a lame question.

#ShortPuts $AAOI My alert went off when this breached 60 on the open. So I decided to close this out instead of sitting on my hands today hoping for favorable price later. Closed the last June 16th 60 contract @ 1.20. Originally sold at 1.65. Buys lunch.

$SPX #spxcampaign All right, I…
$SPX #spxcampaign All right, I have probably done something incredibly stupid but call me chicken. It seems to me that the S&P is just moving up and being short a call spread was not really where I needed to be. So I bought to close the short leg of my June 30th 2480/2500 BeCS @ 4.40, a 2.95 loss. This leaves the long side free to run. I originally bought the long leg at 0.85 so any further up side will help and if it all goes to pot the additional loss will be small.
$MOMO #ShortPuts Sold to open…
$MOMO #ShortPuts Sold to open June 35 Puts @ 0.70 when $MOMO was at 38.04. Jumped this one a bit too soon this morning. The plan is to take assignment if the stock is stable around 35 or roll out and down if the stock has headed for the 200dma.
