NUGT covered calls

Completely forgot that I wanted to sell some calls earlier. Oh well, everyone can’t be Iceman. Maybe one day…STO 5 NUGT Sep23’16 25 CALLS @ 1.20 These are covered.

NUGT experiment

Rolled 18 strike inverted calls out to Sep monthly 18.5 for .15 credit. These are inverted against Oct monthly 26 puts at a 3 to 2 ratio (more calls than puts). Gives overall position right now of a slightly short delta. Small margin required and pretty stable on any big moves.

Goal is to get un-inverted at some point. Still preserving a few K of gains that initially were huge losses with ITM short calls back during the NUGT run from about 50 to 170.

Looks like I should have been a bit more aggressive this morning. Rolling over again now and premiums have cratered.

NUGT calls

Sold $NUGT Nov 18 35 calls @ 1.25. Because of all the volatility, if GDX gets back to its high, 3x of this would bring NUGT to around 32 (and that’s if it went straight up which of course it wouldn’t). So selling some calls near the all time high on the thesis that even with a big move back up in gold and the miners to their recent highs, the headwinds on triple-leveraged NUGT will keep it from getting there as well.

$NUGT

ROLLED $NUGT 9/8 24 put to 10/21 24 put for 1.87 credit.

NUGT adjust

After using weekly call premium to buy in some DITM puts I’ve got room to roll down and add a contract to get a better lowering of the strike. Taking advantage of the little pop today.

Rolled Sep 31 and 32 puts to Oct 26 puts at 2/3 ratio getting 1.50 credit. (bought 2 and sold 3). This increases my max loss if NUGT goes to zero tomorrow but I’m planning on buying those 2 extra ones back in at some point. I’ll slightly over write the calls for the next few weeks…

NUGT rolls

#ContangoETFs BTC Sept 2nd 21 put for 2.60, and Sept 16th 23 put for 5.00. These are ITM and starting to unwind them. I had 5 contracts on each (from the split), doing one at a time. Will look to #ReverseRoll or #StrangleRoll.

$NUGT

If $GDX falls more, the next strong tech support I see is a high volume node at about $24 – about 7% lower, which I guess would be 21% lower for $NUGT. Gold futures might find trendline support about 1.3% lower, if they break fib symmetry at about $1308.

I’m finding a cluster of fib symmetry on GDX just under today’s close, to about $25.11GDX 2016-08-30-TOS_CHARTS

I’ll look to sell NUGT calls if GDX can claw its way back up to $26.30 26.60.

Thanks to all who share your ideas on this!

NUGT

close many Sept 02 calls: 20C @ 0.35, sold for 2.00 this morning; 21C @ 0.40, sold for 1.75 yesterday; Sept 09 20C @ $1.00, sold for 4.41. After couple strong days down I expect a small rally and will sell again.

NUGT reverse rolls

Executed the following rolls (puts to calls) to get out of the way of this downward spiral.

NUGT…rolling and getting smaller

Rolled this week’s short calls down from 20 to 19 for 1.00 credit. Used proceeds to buy back 28, 31, 32 puts that were DITM. Still preserving premium on all the original rolls. So far so good…still concerned a good jobs number on Friday will cause a further drop.

NUGT

BTC 5 NUGT Sep02’16 26 CALL @ 0.10, sold for 0.40 on Friday. Think I’m gonna wait to sell calls again until after the jobs number on Friday… Maybe the number will be awful and NUGT will shoot for the stars!

NUGT…still reducing size

Using weekly call premium to buy back some DITM puts. By using weekly call sales to buy these back in I’m able to preserve all the premium received over the last few weeks on the put sales and rolls. Would love to see this thing grind around in this area for a month or so.

$NUGT STO Sept 02 $21 call for $1.75 earlier this morning. Trying to add $22 and $22.6 for additional premium. I have a long $36 call that I can sell a number of closer priced calls against. I plan to sell a small percentage today, then add various strikes each day until EOD Thursday when I expect to have a full (covered) position.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Aug26 – an interesting week and a volatile expiration day.

Despite the midweek drop in $NUGT my puts stayed just far enough out of the money to expire. $SVXY set a slightly higher YTD high on Friday, only to get crushed in the afternoon. I let more stock go in IRA accounts to raise even more cash.

$NUGT #ShortPuts – Bought to close NUGT Aug 26 2016 21.8 Puts (the old 109 Puts) @ 0.05 to avoid possible assignment

$NUGT

Sold this morning Sept 16th 18 Puts for 0.60 on a smarty pants idea.  Well I closed them out at 1.05 to insure a peaceful weekend.

NUGT escape attempt

#ContangoEYFs was hoping to get out of these at expiration but having to pay a bit for it. Originally sold for 1.20, effective price (pre-split).

BTC NUGT Aug 26th 22 puts for .25, .70, and possibly more for the rest off it keeps dropping.

Meantime, STO NUGT Sept 23rd 18 puts for 1.50.

NUGT….whew!

Can’t believe how lucky I’m getting here. Right at the close yesterday sold a boatload (an NS term…LOL) of 22 strike calls for today @ 1.05. Only in my wildest dreams would I think that 22 would be anywhere close after the “Uncle Janet piehole situation”. Apparently J-hole is a no go but the market is still concerned keeping gold confused. I’m looking to roll staying aggressive with the 22 strike to protect my Sep ITM puts. Building a nice cash cushion here to decide what to do with the puts at Sep expiration.

$NUGT

STO Sept 2 $27 calls @ $0.35

Looking for some additional short term entries. I think there is a lot of resistance to chew through between $22 and $27. Will roll up if needed. Not sure yet if I will pair these off with short puts or not. If $NUGT starts to firm up, I might, otherwise I’m sticking with short calls. I don’t know if $NUGT has a further big short term drop coming as it already has had a sizable one. I just don’t know what the catalyst is for a move much higher. Wednesdays sell off was on very high volume. Thursday’s bounce was on barely average volume and today looks to be another big red high volume candle. So people were selling into strength. If gold drops below $1320’ish, then I think we are looking at another leg lower in the miners.

$NUGT

I missed the whole move while I was in meetings. STC $NUGT $23.5/$25.5 call spreads @ $0.55 (Bought for $0.65 yesterday). This would have been nicely profitable for a while it looks like. But as was my plan, I’m out. Took a shot and only cost me $0.10.

$NUGT

I traded out of my short Aug 26 $28 puts to Sep 09 $20/28 call spread 0.60 db and 1.5:1 size reduction (in IRA), and Sep 16 $20/33 call spread 1:1 size for 0.45 db. I expect NUGT to continue decline eliminating/reducing my giant losses. to be continued…..

NUGT inversion update

Sorry about another update…LOL Skip to the next post if you’re sick of these. 🙂 🙂

OK…here we go. Have to admit I wasn’t expecting a 40 percent drop in a week (although I knew it was possible) but here we are. The price fell through my entire inverted and regular strangles obviously putting the puts deep underwater. Due to the upcoming “Uncle Janet piehole situation” I was reluctant to roll down any calls to help with the long deltas so the calls are basically all gone now. I’ll wait for tomorrow and hope for a bounce to sell calls but in the mean time I bought some GDX puts in case the “J-Hole is a go”…LOL

Also today to help a little with the deltas and to simplify things I rolled all the puts out and slightly down so they are all in the same month. (Sep monthly for now). Paid a little debit but that can come out of this week’s call profits.

So currently: (all split adjusted)

Sep 28 puts @ 2.20
Sep 31 puts @ 3.70
Sep 32 puts @ 6.65

Obviously DITM but breakeven is a little lower. My goal now is to keep the premium received so far while getting these puts to a more reasonable level. So what to do? I’ll keep selling the weekly premium but what should I do with it?

1. Pocket it and keep rolling the puts each month? That’s risky the way this thing can tank.

2. Use the premium to roll the puts down each week? Seems reasonable especially if I take them out to October.

3. Use the premium to buy back some puts to reduce size? A possibility for sure.

4. Use one week’s worth of premium and buy some put spreads for protection? Maybe…

5. Close it all for a manageable loss? That would be a lot of work down the drain…LOL

Whaddya guys think? Lesson learned so far is to be careful with the depth of your inversion…although NUGT could just as easily have been at 200 yesterday instead of 100 so it’s toss up there. Sure has been an interesting experiment…so far!

$NUGT

I’m watching $NUGT very closely today, we’ve gotten a bit of a bounce and that is pulling some premium out of my short puts. I’d like to see a more enthusiastic bounce, but without some help from Gold, that’s not going to happen. I only had a small number of puts left. At this point, I’ve made back more than 1/2 of what I lost yesterday. I can close out all of my remaining short puts for about a $2K loss and just get out of the way until after we see what happens tomorrow. Then will re-enter trades as opportunities arise. A $2K loss sucks but I can make that back, just don’t want it to turn into a $5K loss.

As I type this, it looks like Gold is loosing some momentum so I’m going to close out my puts soon.

NUGT straddle

Was sitting on a 160/160 straddle for this Friday. Sure looks like the market is pricing in a Sep. rate hike. Who woulda thought that a quarter point could devastate the miners…LOL. I would normally be rolling calls down but with Janet showing up Friday I’m gonna wait. If no Sep. hike will we see a bounce?

Bought to Close NUGT AUG 26 2016 160.0 Call @ .20 (part of 160 straddle @ 18.15)

Bounce or not, I’ll eventually roll the call out a couple weeks and down as far as I can for even…then sell whatever call(s) that will bring in 8-10 dollars. For now it’s looking like the new position will be somewhere around Sep 9th 155/130 inverted @ 27.00

The experiment continues…occasional little drawdowns but cash balance consistently increasing…
