VXX1 Puts
Old pre-split contracts.
Sold my last lot of VXX1 Jan 21 2022 5.0 Puts at $0.67. Bought this lot on 03/16/21 at $0.16 and I wrote against them until September 2021 when the last logical write could be done.
I also have long 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 VXX1 puts for January 2022 but since they are effectively in the money, I’m more likely to exercise those as a way of dumping a good portion of my long VXX stock before year end.
At least that is the current plan.
#VXXContango

I’ve been rolling this position weekly (laterally and for credits each time) for a couple of months after I got too aggressive on Silver.
Sold this last week at $0.89 on a roll.
BITO
Tastytrade just addressed something I’ve been wondering about on this one. Since it’s made up of over 90 percent of bitcoin futures there will be some contango drag on it. They’re estimating a little over 1 percent per month or about 15 percent per year. Hard to tell how bad that’s gonna be over time…

PINS any ideas?
#CoveredCalls – Long stock covered this week at 54 and 55 strikes. With the PayPal buyout rumor (possibly as high as 70 per share) I’m wondering…
Can I roll my short calls out to something like Jan 2024 70 strike to take advantage of the buyout?
What happens to out of the money short calls when the buyout happens?
Do I get hit for buying them back for whatever they’re worth on the last day of trading?
Do they just go away and then the stock gets bought?
I’m willing to hold the stock a lot longer if it means another 10-15 points of upside. Any ideas?

BITO
Following the record volume for an ETF’s opening day yesterday for the first Bitcoin (futures) ETF, today could be even more ‘exciting’ as options on the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) start trading on the NYSE Arca Options and NYSE American Options exchanges. BITO is trading at yesterday’s highs in the pre-market…
The fund made history, not just for being the first Bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund to trade in the U.S., but also for recording the highest ever “natural” day one trading volume.
A total of 24.313 million shares were traded on Tuesday and the fund ended the day with about $1 billion in trading volume, according to Bloomberg’s ETF Strategist Eric Balchunas.
