#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Oct28 – A very good week. Post earnings plays in $CMG and $NFLX, plus a pre-earnings play in $BMY were all profitable, as well as all the Volatility shorts and even the 3x Gold miner options.
I will be in a far west time zone next week and will not be able to monitor the markets for part of the week so I have opened only volatility trades for next week.
