#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan6 – A…

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan6 – A somewhat light week for options expirations. $SVXY and $NUGT had big upside moves, and $UVXY and $DUST both declined sharply before bouncing on Friday.

Luckily I had previously covered my UVXY 7 puts at a penny before this week’s pullback. I rolled in the money DUST puts down a few strike prices, but I did it on the opening and would have done better if I had waited out the day.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Dec30 – Getting…

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Dec30 – Getting closer to cash on this last expiration cycle of 2016. With this expiration I’m selling ALL of my long SVXY position and replacing it with short SVXY Puts. I’ve been in this stock position from the mid-50s and the gain is long term.
We haven’t seen a correction since the election and I’m fairly confident we will see one pretty soon. But I’ve been wrong before.

Happy new year to everyone in the forums.

#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.

Hope everyone had a great holiday. I got to spend last week with my family, most of whom I only get to see once a year, so I stayed away from the market all week and just spent time with them. It was great.

Also during the week I had a GTC order get filled. STO $SVXY Dec 9 $67.50 puts @ $0.65

Starting to run low on open positions again, need a pull back so I can reload. Maybe in the lead up to the Fed meeting we’ll see a pullback as people lock in gains just in case the Fed say’s something or they do something with the dot plot that isn’t expected.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Nov11 – probably the biggest weekly expiration I have ever had.

Since I picked up additional $SVXY at 65 last week, I was very aggressive selling SVXY calls from 76 to 81. They all expired.

$NFLX covered puts got assigned taking me out of the stock I shorted at 123 after earnings. #FallingKnife trades in $AGN AMGN $BMY (all health care related) and $UA worked as well.

$NUGT caught up with my short put speculations but the stock is volatile and covered calls will be easy to sell.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Oct28 – A very good week. Post earnings plays in $CMG and $NFLX, plus a pre-earnings play in $BMY were all profitable, as well as all the Volatility shorts and even the 3x Gold miner options.

I will be in a far west time zone next week and will not be able to monitor the markets for part of the week so I have opened only volatility trades for next week.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Oct07 – another profitable week except for some $NUGT puts I had to roll at the last minute.
I’m choosing to let some of my $SVXY stock go partly because it’s still my biggest long position and partly because of the high premium received when selling the calls. The premium now becomes part of my long term capital gain on the stock.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Sep30 – If the market had stayed weak for one more day it would have been more profitable, but the $DB news panic only lasted 24 hours. The VIX collapsed on Friday (again).

No assignments this week as I rolled the few #ITM positions up and out.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Sep23 – A good week for expiring options. I only had to roll a couple of $SVXY short calls up and out and my biggest position (SVXY 75.0 Calls sold @ 4.38 on a rollup) expired today.

I continue to agressively over-write $UVXY calls against some long stock but fear that the stock losses will overtake the weekly options gains eventually.
