ANF closed

#Earnings Sold to close $ANF Nov 29th 16/16.5 strangles for .926. Bought yesterday for 1.99.

Didn’t get the move so worked aggressively to unload at the open when volatility still high, rather than wait to see if the stock will move enough to become profitable.

The move came in BBY, which is where I didn’t want it.

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.

PTON / SPLK

OX $PTON 11/22 27p #Shortputs
STO $PTON 11/29 27.5p @.35 #Shortputs Replacing above. Looking to add to long stock

OX $SPLK 11/22 105/115 #BuPS STO 11/21 @1.05 – Thanks for info/idea @Jeff and @Fuzzball #Earnings

SPLK Earnings

#Earnings #JadeLizards – Another big up move on a Lizard. No harm no foul. Little dip right at the open got me out of the call spread for 1.75. Already up to 2.00 now.

Bought to Close SPLK NOV 22 2019 115.0/127.0/129.0 Jade Lizards @ 1.78 (sold for 2.16)

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.

SPLK Earnings

#ShortPuts #Earnings – I’ll take a shot just outside the expected move down below the 200ma and 50ma near recent lows.

Sold SPLK NOV 22 2019 115.0 Puts @ 1.25
