UVXY Whaddya think about this?
Didn’t do it but seemed interesting for a cash secured account. Long term practically guaranteeing 30 percent annualized….
Sell Jan 2018 5/10 Bear call spreads @ 1.40.
Figure there’s got to be a split or two between now and then so probably could close early….

It’s good to be back home. Spent a week in New Mexico, took in some of the balloon fiesta and visited relatives. Unfortunately, I had very little market access all week. Fortunately, there wasn’t a lot to do. Since I knew I would not get home until after the market closed today, I entered an order over the weekend to replace my covered calls that expired on friday. Got a fill today right at the open. Guess I had my limit set too low.
STO Oct 14 $75 call @ $1.95
With the move that $SVXY made today, obviously that wasn’t a great fill. But this has been a nice little trade so I’ll take it. Who knows what will happen by friday.

#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.

I have an oversized short position, mostly covered with 16, 15 and 18.5 puts over the next 3 weeks. I am debating whether I should sell the last covered puts at 15 or 16 for this week. Maybe wait until tomorrow to see if the downtrend continues. The last few months have shown sharp reversals the following day after a strong move one day. Will history repeat?

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Sep23 – A good week for expiring options. I only had to roll a couple of $SVXY short calls up and out and my biggest position (SVXY 75.0 Calls sold @ 4.38 on a rollup) expired today.
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.
