$SVXY #CoveredCalls #Rollup #OptionLadder –…
$SVXY #CoveredCalls #Rollup #OptionLadder – As I said earlier today SVXY is back to it’s old ways, rallying on expiration day.
Once again, I split up a major short call position, due this week, into three parts to spread the risk across multiple expiration dates. This creates a future #OptionLadder and allows the stock to run in the future. Nice Credits on all the rolls and I had sold the strike 53 Calls I am covering @ 2.16 on a previous roll.
Bought to close SVXY May 06 2016 53.0 Calls @ 0.65 – 1/3 of this position
