#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Oct07 – another profitable week except for some $NUGT puts I had to roll at the last minute.
I’m choosing to let some of my $SVXY stock go partly because it’s still my biggest long position and partly because of the high premium received when selling the calls. The premium now becomes part of my long term capital gain on the stock.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Sep30 – If the market had stayed weak for one more day it would have been more profitable, but the $DB news panic only lasted 24 hours. The VIX collapsed on Friday (again).
No assignments this week as I rolled the few #ITM positions up and out.

I continue to agressively over-write $UVXY calls against some long stock but fear that the stock losses will overtake the weekly options gains eventually.
