June 25, sold a July 19, 29/37 strangle, adjusted it 3 times ending up in an Oct. 18, inverted 37/41 strangle as it climbed from around 32 to around 50. I closed it today, making $33.63.
Yesterday I sold a jade lizard in MU, the demise of which made the above possible. There is plenty of time to turn it around if it stabilizes.

#closing ROKU
1 down, 1 to go. August 7, sold a 60/140 strangle with ROKU around 100, it peaked around 173. Three adjustments resulted in a 140 straddle. I was able to exit with a $12.00 gain.
I still have another ROKU position that started as a 50/80 earnings strangle from May which isn’t looking very good lately.

August 1, sold a 230/270/272.50 jade lizard with a long 210 put for protection, making it an iron condor. ANET dropped about 60 points over the next 2 weeks. I let the short call spread expire, rolled the put spread and sold another call spread. ANET is finally slightly over 240 today, closed the position for a gain.

Bought 105/120/121 #jadelizard 1.00, sold yesterday for 2.20.
I was considering a 100/140 strangle yesterday. There wasn’t much liquidity at those strikes and it would now take awhile to close with the big up move. Jade Lizard wins this one.
Thanks to fuzzball for starting me thinking about using these for earnings.

In August I was assigned on a 155/165 put spread. Through all sorts of wrangling and dividends I was able to get the basis down to 136. Closed out today, making a little over $200. The takeover announcement, earnings coming up and being in the black led me to close the position.

#closing #assignment WYNN
I was assigned this week on WYNN, after selling a Jan. 18, 113 call and selling the long put my cost basis was 115.
WYNN has pushed above 115, I closed the position to avoid assignment costs, didn’t want to roll with earnings next week, have another 100 shares assigned at a higher cost basis, WYNN is a big mover, out with a loss of just under $200.

#closing #assignment AAPL
Dec. 11, I was assigned 100 shares from a 185/187.50 put spread that was to expire tomorrow. I sold the long put and sold a March 14, 170 call for 2.06. AAPL is a little over 170 so I closed the covered call. I have made $45 after all is said and done from a put spread I had written off as a loser. I closed today because I have a 180/190 expiring Dec. 21. That one will take a little longer to get back to even.
Both put spreads were post earnings trades.

July 3, Tradewise initiated a covered call in LUV. I closed it on my own today, making about $240 with premium and dividends. Their timing was right, but this could have been a really nice winner without the calls as it ran up 10 points or so last summer. I’m being cautious and getting some cash.
