YELP “double calendar”

#Earnings #DoubleCalendar in quotes because I placed them near the expected moves rather than ATM. So maybe call it #EMDC. YELP tends to move, but rather not risk the $4+ to buy a Straddle.

Bought $YELP Feb14/Feb21 39 #CallCalendar for .17
Bought $YELP Feb14/Feb21 31 #PutCalendar for .133

You may be able to get these a bit cheaper. I bid below mid-price and was filled instantly on both.

#Earnings . Bought to close $TAP Feb 14th 58 calls for .10. This will clear the way for a bigger profit if stock recovers. #DoubleCalendar bought yesterday for .17 and .20

PPG closed

#Earnings Sold to close $PPG Jan17/Jan24 131 #DoubleCalendar for .12. Bought Wednesday for .50.

Several chances to get out at small profit or breakeven. The rage of profitability really decreases quickly as we approach expiration. I need to take money and run and quit waiting for the long shot of a jackpot.

PNC closed

#Earnings #Assignment On Tuesday I bought $PNC Jan17/Jan24 160 #DoubleCalendar for .50.

Stock dropped too much so trade was a loser. Assigned last night on the puts at 160.00.
Today, sold long puts for 6.60 and stock for 153.53. So I managed to squeeze .13 out of closing the trade.

#Earnings Bought to Open $ADSK Nov29/Dec06 170 #DoubleCalendar for .65. Had the order on for a couple hours… just filled on one. As has been the case with these trades, they can fill slowly as we near the bell.

Lower probability as ADSK has moved on earnings a fair amount. But most recent quarters has below average moves.

HD closed

#Earnings Sold $HD stock for 220.50.

Trades can work even when they initially fail… if you can carry the stock and hold it through dips. Not advised during a correction but it worked in this environment.

Calendar bust

#Earnings Been striking out on recent #DoubleCalendar trades…

Paid .01 to close put calendar on $INTU, bought yesterday for 1.35. This one is a disappointment as it is more expensive than most of these trades, and these higher priced stocks rarely result in a full loss. The morning looked promising but it spent the whole day sinking. It does, however, have a better chance than most of producing some return on the long 272.5 long call lottery ticket next week.

$HD, sold the long puts yesterday, expecting some bounce, but it fell further. So holding the stock for next week.

HD assignment

#Earnings I was assigned $HD shares at 237.50 last night. Today, I sold the Nov 29th long 237.5 puts for 18.20. Plan to sell the stock on next move higher… hopefully for about 220.00 which would make the trade almost break-even.

Original trade: $HD Nov22/Nov29 237.5 #DoubleCalendar for .82 on Monday.

Looks like the INTU trade has a better chance of working.

The time to close this was at the open…. it unfortunately dropped most of the day, but then came back enough to give us a small profit.

HON closed

#Earnings Sold to close $HON Oct18/Oct25 165 #DoubleCalendar for .96. Bought yesterday for .86, so I basically covered commissions. Now it has pulled back and better profit is available. But that’s three calendars in one day… one breakeven, one 50% winner, one double+.

#Earnings Bought to open $NFLX Oct18/Oct25 285 #DoubleCalendar for 1.37. This stock has typically been too volatile after earnings to be appropriate for this strategy. But two things: NFLX post-earnings moves have quieted in the last couple years, and the Dub-Cals perform well with higher priced stocks.
