$NFLX
$NFLX Stopped out of my Feb 12th 95/100 BuPS when it hit 2.00, some where around the bounce at 102.10. Just not sure if I want to risk getting back in. Maybe hunker back down in the foxhole and have another tin of biscuits.
$SPX
Closed the Jan 29th 2020/2030 bear call spread @ 0.05 when a good till cancel order filled. Originally sold for 0.80 on 1/14
$SPX
$SPX Closed my Feb 2nd 1625/1885 BuPS @2.10, a 0.85 loss. Time to sit on my hands again. I considered rolling down and out but no bottom yet and I will not be around for Feb so just going to the sidelines here.
$SPX
$SPX I put in a Feb 8th 1625/1585 BuPS for 1.35 just after the low but wasn’t filled. I adjusted the premium up to 1.25 but the bounce was already in. Alas, a few minutes late on both entries. I was filled though after the close at 1.25. So I guess I wasn’t the only one late to the party . Have a great evening all.
$SPX
$SPX Sold a 2030/2050 BeCS for 0.75. Stepping lightly. $SPX was at 1898. Will roll it up if it doubles in premium.

$SPX
Sold to open Jan 29th 2020/2030 BeCS @ 0.80 A small toe in the water position. My thinking is there will be a lot of resistance over the next two weeks to push this well above the 20dma.
$SPX
Just popping in to say I ain’t dead. I’ve been sitting on my hands watching, studying and learning. Being very cautious with a cash position. Best of luck to all. Jon

Popping in to wish everyone a Happy New Year! and put on a covered call. Sold Jan 15 55 Covered Call, @ 1.05. Replacing what expires today. As usual I was a tad early and sold right before the pop. May all your trades be profitable in the coming year.
$SVXY
Popped in to see how the world was shaping up. Decided to close my Dec 31st 48 Puts for 0.25. Originally sold Dec 16 for 1.40 and a bit of heat from GG for being early. I was early so I’m glad it has worked out well. Have a great New Year if I don’t pop back in later this week.

$SVXY
$SVXY BTC Today’s 45 Put @ .30 to avoid potential assignment risk this afternoon as I will be away the last part of the day. STO @ 2.00 on 11/13.
$JBLU
BTC Dec 25 Puts @ 0.95. I decided to not hang around until next week hoping for a bounce with the lowered forward guidance. Originally sold @ 0.60 so a small loss.
$AMZN
$AMZN STO Jan 600/610 BuPS @ 1.15. Muffed the submission a bit and didn’t get the better fill.
$SVXY
$SVXY STO an initial position Dec 31st 45 Put @ 0.95.

$SVXY 45 Put.
Have a great weekend all.
$SVXY
$SVXY STO Dec 24th 50 Put @ 1.50 earlier this morning. May have been a bit quick on the send button.
$SPX
Stopped out of my Dec 11th 2150/2160 BeCS @ .10. Originally sold for 0.70 on 11/23. Stepping lightly until the big FOMC event.
SPX BeCS
Morning all. BTC my Dec 4th 2140/2150 BeCS @ .05 on a GTC order. Didn’t think to cancel it this morning. Oh well. ToS needs the comissions
$SVXY
Earlier this morning STO Dec 11th 50 Put @ 1.35. I will add lower and or further out strikes as appropriate. Otherwise I’m spending time out in the barn working on a small table. If I don’t pop back in between now and next week Have a Wonderful Safe and Thankful Holiday. Jon
$SPX Campaign
BTC Nov 30th 1930/1940 BuPS @ 0.05 on GTC order. Out a bit early and takes the risk off for the remaining nickel.
#SPXCampaign
$SPX STO Dec 11th 2150/2160 BeCS @ 0.70. Filled at the open while I was editing to a better value. My thinking is that the market is at short term resistance near the all time high and though there might be some year end performance chasing, there will also be profit taking. Other opinions welcome.
$SVXY
Morning all. Rolled my Nov 20th 53 Covered Call out and up to Dec 18th 57 Covered call for 0.70 credit. Will most likely allow this to be called away there if it is ITM.
BTC Dec 4th 70 Calls @ 0.05 this morning. Two weeks early and no commissions.
STO Dec 4th 2140/2150 BeCS @ 0.45 when the S&P was trading at 2059. Another cautious trade. 2140 Delta @ .06.
$SPX STO Nov 31st 1930/1940 BuPS @ 0.40. cautious starter position. This was filled this morning when the S$P was trading @ 2054
