SVXY #shortcalls
Decision time approaching today – take assignment at 81 or realize loss of $11+. I think it will reverse slowly, once it settles at a bottom. The bubble has burst and a snap-back recovery, without tax reform, seems unlikely. Too many variables – I hope I’m not missing any?
#VXXGame Closed $SVXY Sept 15th 90 call for .40. This is the last call I had from the 100/180 strangles I sold for 18.95 back in March. I have one SVXY put remaining. That was sold as a roll, and I got out of most of it at decent prices. But I also rolled some into Sep 15th 77.5 puts, now underwater. #Rolling never ends!
#SPXcampaign #Rolling Sold to Open $SPX Aug 30th 2425/2400 put spreads for 6.00. This is a delayed roll from the Aug 2435/2410 put spreads stopped a few days ago. I’ll watch this one closely, or may ride it ITM.
Earlier, closed on GTC order: Sep 8th 2525/2550 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.55 on Aug 7th.

Taking Profits
Bought to close Aug 21st 2480/2505 call spreads for 2.20. Sold for 8.90 on Monday. This was an extra spread I threw on, and I decided to close it now in case we’ve seen the bottom. I have two spreads that were sold ITM and are now just OTM that I will watch as I don’t want them to fall back way-ITM again.
