AAL
#BullPutSpreads – Some guys in our union forum were debating the pros and cons about our outlook for next year. Have to say I’m on the fence. Lots of labor contract negotiations going on but fleet renewal will be winding down so maybe some debt reduction possible with the cash flow now. I suggested a low risk way to get long so since I suggested it I had to do it myself.
Going with an ITM bull put spread out a few months. Here’s my post from that forum:
=============================================================
I’m as bearish as the next guy on airlines but I’m taking a small shot with low risk…
Sold 5 AAL MAY 15 2020 35.0/30.0 Bull Put Spreads @ 3.75
What now?
1. Stock rallies above 35 by expiration full profit of $1875
2. Stock implodes then I’ll own 500 shares at a basis of 1.25 above wherever the stock ends up (in this case lower the better)
3. Stock goes to zero I’ll lose $625
4. Anything above 31.25 at expiration makes money or a near term rally makes money also
ULTA
#BullPutSpreads – Short a Jan 240 covered call so selling the other side now.

#BullPutSpreads #Earnings – Since the market is never going down again I’m going slightly bullish in AAPL earnings. Selling a slightly in the money put spread. If it tanks still getting in at a good basis…

#BullPutSpreads – This is a Whiz trade that he put on when AMZN was trading slightly above 1800. I didn’t get filled that day but when AMZN dipped well below 1800 I sold the same strikes but ITM. He called the bounce and he sure was right this time. I’ve been experimenting with some of his trades with one lots just to get used to the style. I may ramp up the volume a little eventually.

AMZN and NVDA are not working well today for my #bullputspreads. I am always having difficulties with spreads vs. naked puts.
How do you manage your spreads, do you let them run, because of capped loss, or do you close them at 1-2 times the premium received?
I have

GOOGL earnings
#Earnings #BullPutSpreads GOOGL looking bullish but I’d prefer to stay OTM in case its one day performance pulls back a bit. Going with a spread rather than naked since I don’t want to take assignment of such an expensive stock, and the margin requirement provides far better return percentage.
Sold to Open $GOOGL Jan 27th 815/805 put spreads for 1.40. Biggest UP move: 16.3%, Biggest DOWN move: -5.4%, Average move: 4.5%. This trade is 4.6% OTM.
LUV earnings
#Earnings #BullPutSpreads Taking a bullish trade on LUV with an 11:9 risk reward. All airlines have been going strong. LUV’s last two reports were down, but all airlines were struggling last year, with their bullish trends starting around October.

#BullPutSpreads – I’ll take a shot…been wanting to get long another bank as a possible long term covered call position so going aggressive. Whiz is still bullish on the banks out over the next year or two so I guess I’ll take a small position.
Sold JPM JAN 13 2017 90.0/85.0 Bull put spreads @ 3.20
Worse case scenario is I end up with stock about 1.80 below where it’s trading. If we open up down 20 tomorrow I’ll book the long put profit and take the stock with the short put. Big blowout to the upside and it’s a quick winner.

#BullPutSpreads – Just in case “The Donald” does something unexpected as far as health care goes I’m taking this one off. Fairly decent size position that’s worked quickly, I’ll book it for nearly 70 percent of max profit.
Bought to Close THC FEB 17 2017 16.0/13.0 Bull put spreads @ .45 (sold ITM for 1.36)
