#earnings #callbutterfly WDC

Sold (technically bought) a Feb. 15 39/40/40/42 call butterfly for .35. This is profitable if WDC goes down. WDC hasn’t been kind to #fallingknife traders as it was a little over 100 almost a year ago, now about 40. I have 100 assigned shares at a cost basis of 68, and have a short April 55 put that has been rolled a couple times. The call butterfly will ease the pain a little if it goes down.
Thanks for the info Jeff.

MS calendar loses

#Earnings #Double Calendar Sold to close remaining parts of $MS Jan18/Jan25 45 double calendar for .131. Bought for .33 on Wednesday, plus paid .03 to close short calls yesterday.

So one small loss and a breakeven on this strategy so far. Oddly enough, the better play for neutral option strategies this week was NFLX. It’s upside world.

#earnings Z Way back on…

#earnings Z
Way back on Oct. 1, sold a Nov. 35/50 earnings strangle. Z had a record move down. I rolled the put to December and sold a 35 call to make a straddle. Z went back up and I ended up with an ITM 35 call that was rolled to today. It will expire and I will make .80, that is 80 cents after commissions. Time for a Little Debbie at the gas station.

NFLX earnings

#Earnings – Stock is weak so taking a small winner instead of a small loser. Now it’s free to rally back!

Bought to Close NFLX JAN 18 2019 340/350/360 Iron Fly @ 7.45 (sold for 9.10)

NFLX

#Earnings #IronFlies – Just taking a crazy shot here. Hoping all the news is out there now. 350 is also a nice even number (but so is 300 and 400 🙂 ). Selling an iron fly well inside the expected move risking 90 to make 910…

Bought LULU strangle for .26, sold yesterday for 1.29.

FIVE closed

#Earnings Bought to close $FIVE 100 puts for .55. The Dec 7th 100/98 put spreads were sold for .65 on Tuesday. Two days in a row we rose to over 106 in the morning, and then collapse to 100 or lower. Didn’t think it would happen twice so I didn’t close earlier. If we get another dump like yesterday, I can sell the 98 longs for fat profit.
