#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – My one bad position. Assigned stock at 315.00 after it tanked last quarter. Sold covered calls aggressively reducing basis to 287. Finally got caught in the never ending up market. Letting the stock go this week (maybe) at 240 and will resume the recovery with put selling to eventually get the 47 points back.

Please let me know if another hashtag would be more appropriate.
BTC SQ jade liz for .74 (17 Jan 62/66/67)
Was STO on Dec 23 for 1.43
This mornings upgrade will likely push it above the 66C
#CoveredCalls – This one had been weak and looking weaker so was selling the covered calls pretty aggressively. Then out of the blue caught an upgrade this morning. Rolling now to get the calls back to breakeven on the stock. This roll should be a couple weeks before next earnings so re-evaluate then.
Rolled SQ JAN 10 2020 62.5 Calls to JAN 24 2020 63.5 Calls @ even

#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – Not finding much to do this week. I’ll probably let my REGN stock get called away next week slightly under my basis. Switching over to a few put sales for repair. Similar to TNA, LABU, and WYNN positions recently repaired.
Sold REGN JAN 10 2020 355.0 Put @ 2.75
#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – A slight adjustment and trade repair. With some EWW covered calls DITM and terrible rollability I’ll let the stock get called away next week for a .42 per share loss. Replacing that position with EWZ which has better premium and easier to roll. Selling the EWZ puts down at the 50 and 200 moving averages…

Sitting about breakeven on my stock/covered call and since these are fairly easy to roll in these expensive stocks I’m rolling the call down to the bottom of the expected move for max downside protection.
Stock rallies I’ll try to roll up and out. Stock tanks make some decent money with nice basis reduction…
