#coveredcalls #fallingknife SIG
Tradewise new “covered call advisory” is buying 100 shares of SIG, 39.35 now and selling the April 35 call for about .50. SIG is down 17%, over $8 so far today after earnings. It was up around 76 before the previous big earnings drop. I don’t understand this one.

On Dec. 14 I sold a Jan. EXAS 48 put, was assigned, sold a 50 call and had it called away over the weekend. I went to sell a 50 put and the volume for Feb. 2, 50 puts is 12,088. Nothing is even remotely close to this in volume or option interest. Earnings are Feb. 19. Cause for alarm maybe?

#Coveredcalls
Yesterday it was looking like I was going to be able to roll these up and out for a nice credit, the move higher today now has them far enough ITM that it’s tough to do without going out in time. So rolled out 2 weeks and we’ll see if we get any sort of weakness that will allow the next roll to be out and up for a credit.

#coveredcalls $SVXY
Buy to close Jan 26 $134 calls for 0.38, sold Jan 18 for $2.67
#CoveredCalls -This was a reverse roll of a strangle where the call side got blown out and then turned into covered stock. Finally back to a decent profit. Debating on holding it through earnings but finally decided to unload it and set up a new earnings play on the ticker tomorrow.
Sold to Close ISRG JAN 26 2018 420.0 Call Covered Stock @ 415.50 (bought for 410.45)
#CoveredCalls #CoveredCallCampaign
Closed $FB Jan 26th 180 put for .12. Sold on last week’s dip for 3.55. After getting crushed on my last covered call, I made up most of the loss by selling this put on the news-driven drop. Now I will wait until earnings on the 31st and sell strangles.
#pietrades #coveredcalls #shortputs EXAS
Dec. 14 I sold a Jan. 19, 48 put for 1.70. Looked good until Friday afternoon, was assigned. Sold a Jan. 26, 48 call for 1.30, cost basis of 45.. If I wouldn’t have spent the morning in a dental chair I would have done a little better on the call.
#coveredcalls $SVXY
BTC Jan 19 $120 call for $12.65, got greedy earlier today when price touched $11. Still made 0.50 per contract. I am allowing the second tranche of 120 calls to be exercised on stock bought for $135.4. I sold this tranche for $15.20, so net slight loss on exercised portion. Overall trades were slightly profitable.
IRA also had covered call $134 covered call. I previously rolled out Jan 19 $134 out 1 week for $2 credit. Net cost per share $130.25. Next week may be challenging as we appear headed lower short-term.
#CoveredCalls – Earnings next week so rolling out but not up. I’d rather have the downside cushion. Love the premium in an earnings week. Wish they were all like this…

This was a busted #ShortStrangles that I turned into a #CoveredCalls position. After selling for quite a few weeks I’m using this bounce to book it for a .10 loss. Happy to be out and freeing up some room for earnings season.
Sold to Close SWKS Covered Stock @ 99.23 (bought for 99.33)
#ShortStrangles #CoveredCalls – There was a method to my madness…LOL Turning inverted strangle into a covered stock position.
Current position is 435/415 Inverted Strangle @ 19.35 credit.
Rolling the 415 call out a week to 420 for a small .35 debit and taking the stock at a 416 basis. Should work nicely with earnings the following week and bigly premium available.
#CoveredCalls #CoveredCallCampaign #earnings
Got whipsawed on this one… first time in the year since I started this, so not bad.
Sold $FB Jan 26th 182.5 call for 1.30 on Jan 2nd.
Closed it for 5.50 on Wednesday.
Today, we get the dip I wish I’d waited for. But now looking at a run up into earnings, so I sold Jan 26th 180 put for 3.55.
Earnings are Jan 31st. I will look into strangles on the day before.
#ShortPuts STO 2 Apr 20 35 puts @ 1.60 manage to 50% watch earnings about Mar 15.
#CoveredCalls BTC Jan 19 40 cc @ 1.10, STO Jan 2 @ 1.00 it’s an $18 loss, shares broke above 40, cost basis 40.965, now trading @ 40.30. With .45 div still ahead, but need to watch upward ticks on CC, IV51.60.
Might be my smallest expiration in years
$C $72 puts
$RCL $124 #coveredcalls

#CoveredCalls – Rolling up and out. TOS estimates earnings in the week I rolled into so IV was up a little. I think it will be the week after so might get a second shot at the earnings roll.

Slightly underwater on the stock so looking at rolling into synthetic at double size similar to EWW earlier. Much much lower cash outlay and much much less downside risk on the synthetic.

Following Tradewise, bought 100 shares and sold a Jan. 18, 2019 50 call, stock is at 48, down a little over 2 after earnings. Their method seems to be to get in after a drop and just prior to dividends, and roll many times.
