NTNX
#SyntheticCoveredCall I love NTNX. I love their story. I love their technology. I loved them at IPO. I loved them at $45. I loved them at $14 (yes I held and hedged all the way down). The stock is nice for swing trading. Options are monthlies only (hoping for weeklies soon!). They have earnings on Thursday. Selling an in-the-money put is pretty identical to a #CoveredCalls (without having to buy stock). I would like to get about 15 short puts lined up before earnings, the thought being that stock assignment would give me a 1/2 size position, leaving room for more put selling after the report.
STO tranche #1: Dec 35 puts x 5 at 2.80 Will look to add 10 more over the next 2 days.
STMP
#CoveredCalls – Was still holding stock from an old earnings trade and had it covered with ITM calls for max downside protection. Chart looks like crap so I’m #ReverseRolling covered stock into a strangle. I don’t want to possibly get stuck with another falling stock and selling calls forever. Goal was to get out even once the earnings trade busted.
So:
Sold to Close covered stock @ 167.15 (that was a loss of 3.90)
To make up the loss and get back to a slight profit including commissions:
Sold STMP DEC 29 2017 160.0/195.0 Strangle @ 4.30

Earnings & Stock positions this week
#Earnings #LongStock #Rolling #CoveredCalls
$RH #ShortStrangles Dumped my final Dec 1st short 95 call for 8.50, and 80 puts for .10. Then the stock annoyingly dropped, after I’d closed the whole batch for high prices. I gotta ways to go to make up for it. I’m keeping new sales at the Dec 1st expiration, before earnings:
Sold 100 put for 3.50, adding to position
Sold 95 put for 2.65, adding to position
Sold 105 call for 2.95
$FB BTC Dec 1st 187.5 call for .12. Sold for 1.25 on 11/3. I’ll sell a new one on next rally.
$LITE Sold a fourth of my stock for 58.20. Cost basis 60.50. Looks to be recovering so will wait on the rest, with stops in place.
$STMP Assigned another 100 shares last night, disrupting my Dec 1st 200/180 put spread. Will sell the long put today. This leaves me with one remaining put spread and 200 shares.
$HCA This stock was sold for 75.29.by my broker on Friday afternoon due to margin concerns (futzing with SPX spreads). Not thrilled about this, but it has been an annoying one. An 80 covered call also expired Friday, so I’m now flat. Cost basis was 84.00 so that was a crappy loss.

#CoveredCalls – Was long stock covered by next week’s 301.67 calls. Was entering an order to close the entire position at 301.50…willing to give up 17 cents to free up the cash a week early and to not have to hold over earnings. Forgot to adjust the darn price and was filled at 300.88. Ended up costing myself 62 cents but with a basis of 299.13 it’s still a winner.
Had this position on for a long time since a previous earnings play where the call side got demolished on a gap and run. Happy to be out and satisfied with the long grinding comeback!
