#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Oct20 – A…

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Oct20 – A fairly big expiration as a whole bunch of Puts are expiring. The biggest are $GWW $MYL that have been weak for a long time but are acting better now. Some covered Calls expiring too.

Adding to some existing long stock positions at lower prices but I may be waiting for a while for them to recover. Will continue to sell covered calls on any rallies.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Sep15 – A…

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Sep15 – A BIG ONE! – lots and lots of old #FallingKnife and #VXXGame positions falling off today.
Some #CoveredCalls getting assigned with profits, some #ShortPuts getting me long some new stocks. After all is said and done, I’m much closer to an all cash position as we head into October and another large expiration in 5 weeks.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Jun16 – A big expiration this month. I’ve been carrying some of these positions since early in the year.
Wide strangles in $DUST, covered calls in $NUGT, and lots and lots of #Volatility shorts are rolling off.

Only 1 assignment this week, and a light week next week.

#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.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Mar17 – it was almost all volatility plays again this week.
$GDX and $NUGT bounced this week on a strong move in GOLD after the Fed announcement, but not enough to take me out of my recently acquired stock positions.
Some nice big gains on some $DUST Puts helped too.
The relentless move up in $SVXY is killing me since I’m net short a lot of long term calls and I’m not making enough on the Puts to offset the climb.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Feb17 – A pretty good week as almost everthing worked. $SVXY pulled back allowing more puts to be sold, $UVXY rallied so a new set of Weekly Calls could be sold, and $DUST came off the floor allowing some Puts to expire.

A couple of big covered call positions were assigned and closed out profitably, raising more cash for the coming months.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Dec16 – monthly expirations are always big ones.
Plenty of #FallingKnife Put sales expired. $NUGT and $DUST mostly cooperated.
A Huge number pf Volatility trades rolled off ($SVXY Puts and $UVXY Calls).
Only one small put assignment in a decent stock and a large sale of SVXY generated a lot of cash and a big year end profit.

Only 2 more weekly cycles in this tax year.

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #May20 – A big one today.
NUGT and SVXY did just what they had to make this a very profitable week.
Plenty of covered calls rolled off this week too. Writing new ones next week should bring in a bit of cash.

#OptionsExpiration #Jan15 #Monthlys – Substantial numbers of short Options expired, especially in BOIL, KOLD, DUST, NUGT, SVXY, and most especially in UVXY.

Of course, with Oil and the general market at yearly lows, a lot of short puts on individual stocks were assigned. A lot of covered calls are going to be sold on the next big rally.
