WDC 7/28 puts 90 at 1, 0.97, 0.92, and 0.91. (each drop was the time it took to change between accounts) That is some fierce time decay!
The WDC trades are earnings play but will probably roll back into ladders next week and if they go ITM easy to roll this one down a point or 2 each week. Strong support at 86 if it breaches so could also convert to covered calls.
For those interested you can get better return this week on WDC with ITM covered calls. At lunch the 90 CC was trading for 88.21 so good return if called out. I was in a hurry so just hit the put button but could get better return with ITM cc and so skewing to upside despite the drop this morning.

Boeing Company (The) (NYSE:BA) : Right After Earnings, The Intelligent Options Trade
Date Published: 2017-07-20
LEDE
This is a simple option trade that starts two-days after Boeing Company (The) (NYSE:BA) earnings and lasts for the one month to follow, that has been a winner for 3 straight years.
Boeing Company (The) (NYSE:BA) Earnings
While the mainstream media likes to focus on the actual earnings move for a stock, that’s the distraction when it comes to the option market.
For Boeing Company (The), irrespective of whether the earnings move was up or down, if we waited two-days after the stock move, and then sold a one-month out of the money put spread, the results were simply staggering. We use two-days to allow the stock to fully reach equilibrium post earnings.
We can examine this intelligent approach, objectively, with a custom option back-test. Here is our earnings set-up:
Rules
- Open short put spread 2-days after earnings
- Close short put spread 29 days later
- Use the 30-day options
RETURNS
If we sold this 30/10 delta out-of-the-money put spread in Boeing Company (The) (NYSE:BA) over the last three-years but only held it after earnings we get these results:
Intelligent Short Put Spread
- Monthly Options
- Back-test length: three-years
- Open 2-days After Earnings
- Close 29-days Later
- Holding Period: 28-Days per Earnings
Winning Trades:
10
Losing Trades:
2
Post-Earnings Short Put Spread Return:
103.8%
Annualized Return:
113%
We see a 103.8% return, testing this over the last 12 earnings dates in Boeing Company (The). That’s a total of just 336 days (28 days for each earnings date, over 12 earnings dates).
We can also see that this strategy hasn’t been a winner all the time, rather it has won 10 times and lost 2 times, for a 83% win-rate.

I have what may be a dumb question for TOS which is what I use. If you are looking at the trend of a stock, using 1 month & 10 month ema(s), is 10-month equivalent (same) to the 200-day ema?

After a week on vacation,…
After a week on vacation, had some trades that needed to be cleared out.
Because of trading I look forward to Mondays. At least I didn’t have any trading withdrawal symptoms while on vacation.
Your posts kept me updated on the market, thanks.
BTC SWKS July 28 95 puts at 0.05, originally sold for 1.25
BTC XBI July 28 76.5 puts at 0.12, originally sold for 1.02
Also the August 4, August 11, and August 18 XBI 76, 73, and 72 puts for 0.19, 0.17, and 0.21 and had all been sold for over 1.00. Did this mostly to free up some margin so I could go big on the WDC trade as somewhat of an earnings play, report on July 27.
Sold to open the July 28 WDC 90.5 puts at 1.04. I probably will not set up another ladder, the premiums seem to be high enough to sell weekly’s for a while. Once the premiums drop would reestablish a ladder.
Also sold to open XBI September 1, 77 puts at 1.10.
Because the market was up last week and I had a lot of theta decay I made more money on vacation that I would have made at work, that is always fun!
Looking at some other names that still have good premium despite the low volatility and will post those later in the week.

#Earnings $GOOGL has not been a big mover in the last few years, save for one large move up in July 2015. Looking at the last 12 quarters, the stats are: Biggest UP move: 16.3%, Biggest DOWN move: -5.4%, Average move: 4.3%.
If you remove the one 16% outlier, it changes to: Biggest UP move: 5.6%, Biggest DOWN move: -5.4%, Average move: 3.0%. You would have to go back to Jan 2012 for a move DOWN over 6%.
So, selling puts is safer than calls, and the range for either has been fairly tight, save for July 2015.

#VIXIndicator
Friday’s close of 9.36 was the lowest since Dec 1993; the second lowest close in VIX history.
Before this summer, the VIX had closed below 10 only 9 times. And it had never happened outside the months of November, December, and January.
Friday’s intraday low of 9.30 is the 4th lowest reading ever; the lowest since, again, Dec 1993.

Have a restful wonderful weekend.
Options Expiration 7/21/17
#OptionsExpiration #Earnings Decent start to earnings season, but a mistake with SRPT, where my position size was bigger than my normal risk level, so that loss significantly lowered the earnings profits for the week. I’m sticking with half the trade via assignment. Small losses with JNJ and UAL, but wins with FIZZ, NFLX, V, ISRG, MDSO, IBM, and PII.
— Expiring w/Max profit —
DRIP 28 calls
DUST 42 calls
ISRG 900/875 put spreads
NFLX 155/152.5 put spreads
NFLX 160/157.5 put spreads
PANW 130 put
PII 80/85/100/105 condors
— Assignments —
PANW 135 call, releasing my last batch of stock, now flat. Earnings trade entered Feb 28th, assigned stock, dipped as low as 107.31, then recovered to get me out. Made double the originally intended profit in 21 weeks (rather than the originally intended 1 week).
SRPT 39.5 calls, assigned short stock, cost basis 41.10 (half of position)
— Expiring with losses —
JNJ 130/132/133/135 condors, sold for 1.39 on Monday, loss .66
SRPT 28/31/36.5/39.5 condors, sold for .70, loss 2.30 (half of position)
UAL 78/80/82 call butterfly, loss of .40
Have a nice weekend

Visa and SRPT earnings
#Earnings Sold to Close remaining $V July 21st #BrokenWingButterfly. Bought for 1.68, closed for 3.52 avg, so 1.84 profit.
Sold to close half of my SRPT July 21st 39.5 long calls for 3.90. This will assign me short shares at 41.10 cost basis. Taking max loss on the other half of the 36.5/39.5 call spread, as I don’t want to strain my margin by taking too large a short stock position.
$NBR #ShortPuts – Bought to…
$NBR #ShortPuts – Bought to close NBR Jul 21 2017 Puts @ 0.33 to avoid assignment tonight.
Originally sold at 0.57.
New all time highs in SVXY
#VXXGame Closed my other SVXY July 21st 85 call for 5.65. Wish I’d dumped them both this morning. This thing is flying and VIX approaching new decades-low as SPX is fairly stagnant.

$GWW #ShortPuts #FallingKnife – Bought to close 1 GWW Jul 21 2017 165.0 Put @ 0.35 to avoid assignment tonight.
Originally sold on 04/19/2017 at 1.40 so I still cleared a point profit.
