#OptionsExpiration for Oct 20
Not many expirations this month–I’ve been much more aggressive taking positions off earlier with the market at these levels. I’ve been particularly focused on #VXXGame positions so I’m running out of them and itching to sell more. I won’t sing the same old song but What The World Needs Now Is Vol Sweet Vol….

Expiring:
$AMZN Oct 20 1020 calls
$CAT Oct 20 125 puts
$CMG Oct 20 275 puts
$IWM Oct 20 144 puts
$SNAP Oct 20 15 puts
$SVXY Oct 20 50 puts
$UVXY Oct 20 50 calls
$TEVA Oct 20 17.50 calls

Assignments:
$TEVA Oct 18.50 puts from an inverted strangle. I will reinitiate calls on this on Monday (provided the stock doesn’t tank in the am).

Have a great weekend.

TRTN

#OptionsExpiration
TRTN Oct 20 30 puts

#Assignment ?
“To be assigned, or not to be assigned” on TRTN Oct 20 40 put when stock closed at 39.95, cost basis 37.27? Probably find out tomorrow when settled, maybe…film at 11:00 😉

Have great weekends…

EDIT: Saturday, Oct 21, assigned 100 TRTN shares @ 39.95 on a 40 put…go figure?! Reached all time high of 40.50 Friday. Could be a run up to earnings on Nov 9 amc, TOS.

#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 #Weeklys #Aug25 – A few positions other than volatility trades this week –
$ANF $AZO $CMG $HP $M $TRIP with a couple of profitable assignments.
Of course volatility trades dominated the action as almost all Puts and Calls expired worthless in $SVXY and all the calls in $UVXY expired.

Believe it or not I did have a positive month end OPEX. I have to learn
that just because I am bullish does not mean the stock agrees with me.
Some of these stocks were downright disagreeable. I have to learn how
to place stops and be pleased that I am preserving some capital when a
trade goes against my premise. Sort of rant over. I feel better. Perhaps
that’s because I played golf this morning.

Thanks to everyone for all your assistance.
Have a great weekend and a magnificent eclipse.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Aug11 – It was all about volatility this week.
Finally went long ‘some’ $SVXY against my short Jan 2018 and Jan 2019 Call positions
Dumped a small odd lot of $UVXY at the equivalent of 40 on a call assignment.

$VIX and VIX futures were down today and the S&P was up. If we don’t have war breakout over the weekend, the market should be strong on Monday.

#OptionsExpiration #Earnings Decent start to earnings season, but a mistake with SRPT, where my position size was bigger than my normal risk level, so that loss significantly lowered the earnings profits for the week. I’m sticking with half the trade via assignment. Small losses with JNJ and UAL, but wins with FIZZ, NFLX, V, ISRG, MDSO, IBM, and PII.

— Assignments —
PANW 135 call, releasing my last batch of stock, now flat. Earnings trade entered Feb 28th, assigned stock, dipped as low as 107.31, then recovered to get me out. Made double the originally intended profit in 21 weeks (rather than the originally intended 1 week).

SRPT 39.5 calls, assigned short stock, cost basis 41.10 (half of position)

— Expiring with losses —
JNJ 130/132/133/135 condors, sold for 1.39 on Monday, loss .66
SRPT 28/31/36.5/39.5 condors, sold for .70, loss 2.30 (half of position)

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun30 – Wow,…

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun30 – Wow, what a week. It was supposed to be a light one until a 50% move in the VIX index from 10 to 15 on Thursday created some opprtunities in $SVXY and $UVXY.
With only 3.5 trading days available next week, I don’t expect many fireworks (except on the 4th of course).

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun2 – a decent week while waiting for volatility to wake up.
$SVXY and $UVXY positions rolling off have left few risk positions to deal with until the #Monthly expiration in 2 weeks.
$NUGT and $DUST positions expiring in #IRA accounts leave a lot of dry powder to be reinvested on the next big move in gold, whatever direction that might be.

SPX ITM roll

#SPXcampaign #ITMroll Rolling the call spread from the #IBroll I made on May 22nd.
Bought to close $SPX June 7th 2390/2415 call spreads for 17.90. This half sold for 12.15 on May 22.
Sold to Open $SPX June 14th 2395/2420 call spreads for 15.80.

To make up for the debit on the roll, I added another call spread, since I am too heavy in put spreads at the moment and it seems as if upside momentum is waning.
Sold to Open SPX June 16th (Friday PM) 2445/2470 call spreads for 2.35.

#SPXcampaign Sold some extra spreads. These each offset existing spreads in the same expiration to create iron condors:
Sold $SPX June 9th 2390/2365 put spreads for 2.25
Sold $SPX June 14th 2440/2465 call spreads for 2.90

#OptionsExpiration
Expiring today is the May 30th 2420/2395 put spread. With a close at 2414, the 2420 put will exercise for 6.00, which will debit from my account overnight. This spread was sold for 9.25 last Thursday, so approximately 3.25 profit.
