$SVXY #CoveredCalls #VXXGame – since I added a bunch of long stock last week and am still short 44.5 and 45 Puts for this week, and next, I added the following positions:
Sold SVXY Jul 1 2016 52.0 Calls @ 0.15 with the stock at 47.39 – these expire Friday
Sold SVXY Jul 1 2016 52.5 Calls @ 0.15 with the stock at 48.00 – these expire Friday
Sold SVXY Jul 8 2016 53.5 Calls @ 0.55 with the stock at 47.91 – these expire next Friday in a short trading week

To tag onto Iceman’s chart yesterday. Today $UVXY already dropped below where it was at the close last Thursday. $SVXY on the other hand is still more than $10 below where it was at.
$SVXY
STO July 8 $52.5 calls @ $0.65
Next week is a short week, likely very light volume and I think the market and $SVXY are going to run into some resistance. Easy to roll if needed. Would rather be rolling $SVXY calls than puts right now.

$SVXY #CoveredCalls #VXXGame – yesterday…
$SVXY #CoveredCalls #VXXGame – yesterday I covered about 20% of my overly large short Sep 60.0 Call position on SVXY at 0.95 and at 0.90.
Today I changed my mind and decided to re-establish the position. It occurred to me that I just added to my long stock position Friday via Put assignments, and might do so again this week if SVXY goes back down below 44.50.
Sold SVXY SEP 16 2016 60.0 Calls @ 1.55 / 1.60 / 1.65.
Not bad for a 24 hour turnaround.

$SPY $UVXY $SPX I’m taking the opportunity to take profits today by closing the long call side of 3 SPY spreads, dated July 8 and July 15, 208,214,215 strikes, closed the call side of a July 8 2155/2170 call spread, and closed a UVXY 11 put sold June 20 for 1.56 and a July 8, 30 call sold Friday for 1.18. I paid 42 for both today coincidentally. I looked at what was left in these trades, duration and margin. This method, closing early, has been working for me in 2016.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun24 – I was positioned pretty well for Brexit. I re-acquired some SVXY stock, but just a few weeks ago I sold out of a couple of large blocks above 60. So I’m not too upset. I’ve already sold August Calls against all the new stock.
A pretty good week for NUGT strangles too.
