Bought to close $DRIP Oct 20 41 calls @ .05
Sold for 1.50 on 8/21.
I’m still short 35 calls in October. Looking to take those off for .05 into the strength in oil.

UVXY
#LongPutDiagonals – She’s tanking and I’m rolling. The next one will be to 2019 if needed.
Rolled UVXY OCT 20 2017 26.0 Puts to JAN 19 2018 20.0 Puts @ .13 credit
Also:
With these short puts providing some upside protection for a possible volatility spike (yea right… 🙂 ) I’m rolling up the 2019 disaster calls for a credit. Slightly increases max loss if UVXY spikes to 60 and stays there until 2019 🙂
Rolled UVXY JAN 18 2019 40.0 Calls to JAN 18 2019 55.0 Calls @ 1.15 credit. This in effect lowers the cost of the initial trade entry.
So what’s the big picture? I eventually will have to roll these front month short puts to 2019…probably around a 10 strike. They’ve brought in a total of 3.00 so far…
Synthetically short at 30 so using 10 as a target that’s 20 points of gains. Trade entry was 16.30 debit so max gain is looking like 20.00 – 16.30 + 3.00 + residual value of disaster calls when I decide to close the trade. So possibly a 10 point winner if I’m lucky. Not what I had hoped but still a position that had a low enough risk that it allowed me in at a decent size. I think Jeff is right…just buy the puts and wait with the occasional scalp of a front month…or just synthetic short with a very loose disaster call (based on account size and appetite for risk) and not even sell any front month.
Overall it’ll be a good trade. Happy with the experiment. It’s just hard to fight the never ending lack of volatility.
BBY earnings closed
#Earnings #LongStock
Sold my final 100 shares of $BBY for 57.74 as my one-dollar trailing stop was hit.
Original trade: Sold Sep 1st 57.5 puts on 8/28 for 1.06.
Assigned stock on Sep 1st
Waited for recovery and sold stock between 56.50 and 58.50.
Max profit on original trade: $738.50
Final profit in the end: $684.50
AZO earnings
#Earnings #ShortStrangles
Sold to Open $AZO Sep 22nd 505/630 strangles for 3.20. Biggest UP move: 5.8%, Biggest DOWN move: -11.8%, Average move: 2.7%. My trade filled at 569.00 as AZO dropped from its intraday high. Probably possible to get above 3.50 now.
AZO moved down -11.8% on the day after earning last quarter, but then bounced and hovered for a few weeks before dropping much lower. I was able to escape the trade with full profit before the bigger drop. That was before AZO added weeklys.
My strikes are -11.2% and +10.7% OTM. Position size is small.

$VIX $SVXY – so I’m undecided how much of my overly large SVXY stock position to let get called away. I could roll most of this week’s calls up and out a week or two, or I could just let the stock go.
The $VIX index hit 10.0 this morning so we could be close to a VIX bottom here. Or Not!
Add to that the fact the SVXY has stayed in a 0.60 – 0.70 range since 10:30 this morning.
I guess I’ll need to make the decision soon 🙂

Closing TSCO
Booking profits on this position that had spent quite a bit of time over the summer deep in the money. Now able to take it off for 80% of the max profit over a month early so I’m taking the opportunity.

WYNN adjustment
Started out a year ago as a #ShortStrangles position but has turned into a nicely performing #PerpetualRollingStrangles position.
Currently running along inverted. 145/125 inverted @ 12.15 credit. Ideally in these inverted positions you’d like total premium received to be greater than the width of the inversion for it to be profitable. I’m not quite there yet so rolling to decrease the inversion. Out two weeks and squeezed it in by two points. Really wanted the 145 puts to expire today but not quite there.

$EFX #News – While not…
$EFX #News – While not entirely surprising given the demands from politicians, The Hill reports that The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday announced that it had launched an investigation into the Equifax breach that left sensitive information for 143 million Americans exposed to hackers.
“The FTC typically does not comment on ongoing investigations,” FTC spokesman Peter Kaplan said in an email.
“However, in light of the intense public interest and the potential impact of this matter, I can confirm that FTC staff is investigating the Equifax data breach.”
It is extremely rare for the agency to publicly confirm an investigation.
As The Hill notes, Congress has also been scrutinizing the credit reporting agency. Multiple committees have announced hearings on the breach and on Wednesday the House Commerce Committee invited Equifax CEO Richard Smith to testify before on the company’s handling of the crisis.
Remember what happened when JPMorgan had to go before congress because of the London Whale losses. It was a golden opportunity to sell puts to motivated buyers. We should see a lot of negative news flow on $EFX this fall, but I smell opportunity if you stay far enough out of the money and trade small.
