#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun23 – Only…

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun23 – Only short volatility trades this week. And the well is about to run dry on those.

We need a sharp pullback in the market so I can re-load. No assignments this week.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Jun16 – A big expiration this month. I’ve been carrying some of these positions since early in the year.
Wide strangles in $DUST, covered calls in $NUGT, and lots and lots of #Volatility shorts are rolling off.

Only 1 assignment this week, and a light week next week.
