#LongPuts #LEAPS #ShortCalls – Now that we’re easing back into contango I’m going to lower the number of short calls I have at risk at any given time so gradually closing those for nice profits. I’ll continue selling one (or two) every week at the top of my put ladder. Short 10 puts against one short call would give me protection for about 30-40 points of upside depending on the week of the call sale. I would welcome the opportunity to roll the short call and let the puts expire…

#ShortPuts #LongPuts #ShortCalls – Yes I am still in this. Short DITM puts out in Jan 2020. In the meantime trading around it. On the last spike bought a double size batch of disaster puts where the overall position would actually make more if the stock went to zero. With the stock making a big beautiful double bottom today I’m taking some nice gains on the long puts.
Sold to Close 10 AAOI JAN 17 2020 22.5 Puts @ 5.35 (bought for 2.35)
Taking some of those profits and buying shorter term disaster puts to get through next earnings and a possible confirmation of today’s bounce. I’ll decide what to do with these after earnings. Hopefully the stock will bounce and I can close these new ones for the residual value and maybe reload on the next top.
Bought to Open 10 AAOI JAN 18 2019 20.0 Puts @ 1.35
Pocketing the 1.65 gain for now which equates to a 3.30 basis improvement on the DITM puts.
Whew!
