TRTN Oct 20 30 puts
#Assignment ?
“To be assigned, or not to be assigned” on TRTN Oct 20 40 put when stock closed at 39.95, cost basis 37.27? Probably find out tomorrow when settled, maybe…film at 11:00 😉
Have great weekends…
EDIT: Saturday, Oct 21, assigned 100 TRTN shares @ 39.95 on a 40 put…go figure?! Reached all time high of 40.50 Friday. Could be a run up to earnings on Nov 9 amc, TOS.

#Earnings #Assignment #LongStock
Sold more shares today at 57.50 and 58.50, assigned at 56.44 basis. Now that the full position is nicely profitable I put my remaining shares on trail stops of .50 and 1.00.
#Earnings #Assignment #LongStock
Sold shares of $BBY for 56.50, and 56.75. Cost basis 56.44 from 57.5 put assignment on 9/1.
Covered Call premium not attractive enough to play with this one. I don’t trust the business either with Amazon devouring all retail in sight. Will sell out of remaining shares as it moves up or down from here.
#Earnings #Assignment #LongStock
Sold to close one-fourth of my $PLCE stock position at 108.50. Assigned on Aug 11th with 108.00 cost basis. Holding the rest with #CoveredCalls already established.

Forgot to close my long 3.50 calls on Friday so I was assigned 1,000 shares. I put .05 trailing stop on to enjoy any gain on the day, or close it out before it goes below 3.50. Cost basis is 3.70.

#Assignment #EarlyAssignment #shortputs
Assigned 100 shares of REGN from Dec 9th 415 short put. Was planning to roll by Friday but someone got greedy. I may hold the stock or roll it back to a short put or short strangle.
#Earnings #Assignment I was assigned $LOW stock last night from my 79.5/81.5/83.5 iron butterfly…. kind of unusual to be assigned from short puts that are part of a spread, but it happened to about 3/4’s of my position. Today I sold the long puts for 2.92, so combined with the 1.48 at which I sold the IBF, my cost basis on the stock is 77.10. A reasonable position. I may sell the remainder of the longs and take the rest of the stock on Friday.

#OptionsExpiration Rough week with DATA earnings trade going south. This will be a tougher one to manage than FB or VLO as the company is newer and has an uncertain future.
Expiring with 100% of max profit:
$CMI 81.5 puts

$UVXY 23, 27 puts

#Assignment
$DATA 62 puts, long stock assigned, cost basis 60.80
$VLO 63 & 65 puts, covering most of my short stock position, cost basis over 70.00
Expiring Worthless:
$SPX 1675/1650 put debit spread – bought a couple weeks ago, but the down moves did not come soon enough, so never got a profit to take.
