#coveredcalls
I have been following along time permitting but no trading. I’m slowly getting the place back to normal. The crawl space is drained and mostly dry. I replaced all the insulation. Last bit is a new vapor barrier. A bunch of niggling back burner chores that had accumulated for years have been ground through. (The wife no longer puts them under my pillow). My other distraction as a property master and set designer for a film will wrap up mid March. I hope to ease back in to trading soon after. To that rebirth this morning I sold NUGT Mar 15th 27 Calls when NUGT was at 23.55 against my underwater stock that I was assigned what seems like eons ago at 26.50. Catch you all later.
#Earnings #CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – A few more in this one…
Bought to Close NVDA FEB 15 2019 150.0 Put @ .01 (sold for 4.50)

Rolled NVDA FEB 15 2019 148.0 Call to MAR 08 2019 150.0 Call @ 1.50 credit (picking up 3.50 of upside)
#Earnings Sold to close $UAA Feb 15th 21 calls for .16. This was a sad one; bought the #LongStraddle for 2.50… the swings this week afforded opportunities to cut the loss to less than half, but my orders barely missed getting filled again and again. So although I did sell a few for 1.60, the stock ended the week right at my strike… not good for a long straddle!
#CoveredCalls #Assignment $PVTL stock called away via 18 and 19 calls. This was a September earnings trade, was assigned at 22.50 and through multiple rounds of covered calls I’m exiting at about break-even.
#DoubleCalendar Taking assignment of $NTAP stock, cost basis 64.79.
#IronCondor Closed $DECK short 145 calls for 1.30. Was able to exit some at .50 and .20, so overall this trade will be a small winner or a small loser across my accounts. Condor sold for .86 on Jan 31st.

$NFLX looked strong today. Stock at 359.97.
#CoveredCalls – Out the rest of the week so need to roll these today. Can’t get a pullback so doing best I can. This is definitely the downside of covered calls when profits are blocked. Can’t go up forever so at least some nice hedges for pullbacks. All covered calls…
SOXL: This one hurts with a basis of 72 covered at 95 and stock at 122. Uugh!
Rolled SOXL FEB 15 2019 95.0 Calls to MAR 15 2019 97.0 Calls @ .20 credit
TNA:
Too many to list. Most are ok and a couple DITM

Rolled TQQQ FEB 15 2019 40.0 Calls to APR 18 2019 42.0 Calls @ .10 debit
WYNN:

Rolled WYNN FEB 15 2019 120.0 Call to MAR 22 2019 124.0 Call @ .40 credit
#CoveredCalls – Meant to roll this sooner but forgot about it. Exercised early on a call for this Friday. Unfortunately I sold it in the hole figuring the market wouldn’t rally to ridiculous levels. Exercised at 45 with a basis of 63 so an 18 point loss.
To replace this position: (exercised on 1 but selling 2 to keep the new puts at reasonable levels)
Sold 2 TNA JUL 19 2019 65.0 Puts @ 9.50
If the stock continues up the entire position is a 50 cent winner. If it implodes I’ll have the shares at a 64.50 basis which seems reasonable given the circumstances.
#LongCalls #LEAPS #ShortPuts #CoveredCalls – A few odds and ends yesterday. A great week for NVDA and earnings coming next week.
NVDA:
Bought to Close NVDA FEB 08 2019 150.0 Call @ .05 (covered sold for 4.70)
Sold NVDA FEB 15 2019 148.0 Call @ 4.90 (covered)
Bought to Close NVDA FEB 08 2019 145.0 Put @ .05 (sold for 2.51) I’ll sell again before Thur earnings
STX: Rolling picking up another .75 of upside
Rolled STX FEB 08 2019 41.0 Calls to MAR 08 2019 41.5 Calls @ .25 credit
UVXY: Selling diagonals against free March 90 short calls. Not as risky as it looks with ITM short puts helping.
Sold UVXY FEB 22 2019 57.5 Calls @ 1.23
WTW: Selling new positions very carefully as whipsaw risk increases and stock is 74 percent off recent highs. Earnings still a couple weeks away. Sales seem small but are twice what I need so could still become a nice winner eventually.
Bought to Close WTW FEB 15 2019 35.5 Calls @ .05 (sold for .30)
Sold WTW MAR 1 2019 39.0 Calls @ .30

#CoveredCalls – I did a trade! Woohoo! Have to say I don’t hate the pullback. Helps out some of the ITM positions.
Rolled TQQQ FEB 15 2019 44.0 Call to MAR 1 2019 45.0 Call @ .21 credit
Adding 1.21 of upside while still keeping a little more downside help.
#CoveredCalls – My other one is ITM and requiring lengthy rolls. Trying to stay out of the way on this one. Hopefully they’ll be adding strikes eventually. Pretty poor selection right now.
Rolled LABU FEB 15 2019 49.0 Call to MAR 08 2019 52.0 Call @ .25 credit
#Earnings #DoubleCalendar #LongStock #CoveredCalls #Dividends
Lat week’s double cal didn’t work but I stuck with the trade, selling the long put and taking assignment, cost basis of 47.34.
Today I lightened the load, selling slightly less than half of the stock for 49.00.
I’m converting the rest into a #PieTrade, so I sold to Open $INTC March 15th 50 covered calls for 1.01.
#CoveredCalls – Looked safe a couple days ago but not now. Rolling out a week and up 5 points. Earnings the following week so very nice premium coming up. Have to do this now since I’ve gotta leave before the close.
Rolled NVDA FEB 01 2019 145.0 Call to FEB 08 2019 150.0 Call @ .30 credit
Short a 145.0 Put next week also. Setting up for the roll into earnings if needed.
#ShortPuts #CoveredCalls – Assigned early at 30.21 basis which I don’t mind. Can get the call sales done now.
Sold T MAR 15 2019 31.0 Calls @ .41
#LongCalls #CoveredCalls #LEAPS #ShortPuts – Been a slow couple weeks with the rally and being busy at work. Pretty much all hands on deck to keep things going with this crazy weather! Rolling some covered calls and ratio’d short calls against LEAPS and booking a couple winners for safety. Haven’t been adding anything new…just working with what I’ve got and trying to streamline things a little and be better about adding anything.
AMAT: Ratio’d and rolling just a week to stay prior to earnings.
Rolled AMAT FEB 1 2019 36.0 Calls to FEB 8 2019 36.0 Calls @ .10 credit
LABU: One contract DITM roll below basis…my least favorite position right now but can roll as long as needed.
Rolled LABU FEB 15 2019 35.0 Call JUN 21 2019 40.0 Call @ .01 credit
SMH: Ratio’d roll. Trying to stay as short term as possible.
Rolled SMH FEB 8 2019 91.0 Calls to FEB 22 2019 91.5 Calls @ .17 credit
SOXL: This was ITM not long ago so booking it. Sell again on next pullback.
Bought to Close SOXL FEB 15 2019 75.0 Put at .55 (sold for 3.50)
TNA: Big rally so rolling ratio’d and covered.
Rolled TNA FEB 8 2019 48.5 Calls to FEB 22 2019 49.0 Calls @ even (LEAPS position)
Rolled TNA FEB 1 2019 50.0 Calls to MAR 15 2019 52.0 Calls @ .20 credit (covered)
TQQQ: Added to LEAPS a few days ago so this is ratio’d now.
Rolled TQQQ FEB 8 2019 40.5 Calls to FEB 22 2019 41.0 Calls @ .06 credit
Rolled TQQQ FEB 15 2019 40.0 Call to MAR 15 2019 41.0 Call @ .20 credit (covered)
URI: Book it!
Bought to Close URI FEB 15 2019 105.0 Put @ .20 (sold for 2.30)
UVXY: Rolling short ratio’d puts down. Long LEAP puts working great. This works as a nice hedge on volatility spikes.
Rolled UVXY FEB 15 2019 70.0 Puts to MAR 15 2019 68.0 Puts @ .10 credit
XBI: Ratio’d roll.
Rolled XBI FEB 1 2019 78.0 Calls to FEB 22 2019 79.0 Calls @ .06 credit.
Obviously if I’d seen the Powell capitulation coming I’d not have sold any covered calls. Rolling working fine but capping upside (but giving a nice hedge also). These are all long term positions so working fine. Ratio’d short calls selling below LEAPS is a must. That way the rolls can be gradual since small to no upside risk.
