#ShortPuts #IRA – Biggest loser on my watchlist today. Selling a little more aggressively than usual but still at the expected move and at the 50ma and down in congestion. Most importantly, this is the week prior to earnings. 30 days out and just prior is one of my favorite sales. Get good decay and still have the earnings volatility to roll (or sell) into.

NVDA
#ShortPuts #IRA – One of my favorite tickers so adding here. Seems to be stabilizing above it’s 50ma but still near the bottom of it’s recent implosion. Based on the April expected move 137 is a possibility so selling near that area. 15.2% annualized if it goes to expiration…

CELG-TNA GLD-TQQQ UAA-SOXL bringing dead money alive
#CoveredCalls #IRA – Fuzzy, what the heck are you talking about? Good question!
In an IRA I’ve been carrying positions in CELG, GLD, and UAA that seems like it’s been forever. They’re all underwater with very little call premium available to sell. With this pullback I’m selling the dogs and putting an equal amount of cash into some tickers that do have nice premium and that have been beat down pretty hard.
I won’t bore you with the details but I’m hoping these are long term positions that I can sell against for many months. Nothing fancy with weeklies…just doing the monthlies as more of a set it and forget it. I’ll roll the losses of the dead money stocks into the cost basis of the new positions and go from there. I feel I’ll make a lot more progress with these than sitting and waiting on the dogs to come back.
Here’s the covered call sales of the new positions:
Sold TNA NOV 16 2018 65.0 Calls @ 2.00
Sold TQQQ NOV 16 2018 58.0 Calls @ 1.60
Sold SOXL NOV 16 2018 100.0 Calls @ 5.10
UVXY
#LongPuts #IRA – Playing it in two different accounts. One more conservative since it’s an IRA that doesn’t allow naked call selling. Might sprinkle a few call spreads in but mostly just selling the puts. The other account allows naked call selling so I’ll be selling the puts more aggressively against those.
Sold UVXY NOV 16 2018 51.0 Puts @ 2.31

NVDA TNA
#ShortPuts #IRA – Definitely want TNA for the long term. Not sure it’s going to stay low enough for any put exercises so going shorter term and more aggressively. With NVDA, I’d take a shot at over 50 percent off it’s high.

#ShortPuts #IRA – This is one I’ve been debating about. Since last two earnings haven’t gone all that great I’ve decided to book it since it’s a slightly larger position than I normally do. Maybe they can disappoint again and I can re-sell.

I’ve got about 50 filled orders today on hedge rolls. If anyone is tracking details on a particular position, let me know.
My go-to strategy on these #Undies is to roll hedges to ATM for significant premium collection BUT reduce contracts sold. On BA I started with a 7×5 and rolled it to a 7×3 now. I realized I can collect a lot of premium doing that, but still have a risk graph that is friendly to an upside reversal.
That’s all I’m going to post due to vast quantity of orders today.
