#earnings #inversion #closing EA
Feb. 5, I sold an 80/100 earnings strangle. Through rolling and going inverted, and rolling some more, I closed a May 3, 90/105 inverted strangle today and made $10.55 after trading costs. EA went way down, then way up, classic whip saw. If I would have done nothing, I may have been OK, but I’m taking the $10 and going to happy hour to plan trading the next earnings on May 7.

#closing WYNN
In August I was assigned on a 155/165 put spread. Through all sorts of wrangling and dividends I was able to get the basis down to 136. Closed out today, making a little over $200. The takeover announcement, earnings coming up and being in the black led me to close the position.

#hedge LULU
In addition to the May strangle I sold today, I have had an April 18, 130/135 short ratio put spread (2 short 130s, 1 long 135) trade put on March 1. LULU has been up and down, trade hasn’t been profitable. I bought a March 29, 120/130 put spread for 1.33. If LULU drops big I have some insurance, will be OK on a big rise, the short 130s will cover the hedge.

In December I was assigned shares on 3 different trades from post earnings put spreads as AAPL went from 220 down to 145 from late October to the December market sell off, my timing being impeccable. Fortunately they were put spreads and the long puts provided significant support. I sold the last of the shares after selling covered calls, actually making a little on each set of shares. Whew
