#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #May19 – an interesting week with rumor/politics causing a big drop that was almost erased by Friday. Volatility was all over the board, with the VIX rising almost 50% before settling back.

Maybe more fireworks next week, but this week’s swoon set me up with new positions in the weeklys options ($SVXY and $UVXY) through the end of June.

Only 1 small assignment for this week.
