#ShortPuts #CoveredCalls – Assigned early at 30.21 basis which I don’t mind. Can get the call sales done now.
Sold T MAR 15 2019 31.0 Calls @ .41
#LongCalls #CoveredCalls #LEAPS #ShortPuts – Been a slow couple weeks with the rally and being busy at work. Pretty much all hands on deck to keep things going with this crazy weather! Rolling some covered calls and ratio’d short calls against LEAPS and booking a couple winners for safety. Haven’t been adding anything new…just working with what I’ve got and trying to streamline things a little and be better about adding anything.
AMAT: Ratio’d and rolling just a week to stay prior to earnings.
Rolled AMAT FEB 1 2019 36.0 Calls to FEB 8 2019 36.0 Calls @ .10 credit
LABU: One contract DITM roll below basis…my least favorite position right now but can roll as long as needed.
Rolled LABU FEB 15 2019 35.0 Call JUN 21 2019 40.0 Call @ .01 credit
SMH: Ratio’d roll. Trying to stay as short term as possible.
Rolled SMH FEB 8 2019 91.0 Calls to FEB 22 2019 91.5 Calls @ .17 credit
SOXL: This was ITM not long ago so booking it. Sell again on next pullback.
Bought to Close SOXL FEB 15 2019 75.0 Put at .55 (sold for 3.50)
TNA: Big rally so rolling ratio’d and covered.
Rolled TNA FEB 8 2019 48.5 Calls to FEB 22 2019 49.0 Calls @ even (LEAPS position)
Rolled TNA FEB 1 2019 50.0 Calls to MAR 15 2019 52.0 Calls @ .20 credit (covered)
TQQQ: Added to LEAPS a few days ago so this is ratio’d now.
Rolled TQQQ FEB 8 2019 40.5 Calls to FEB 22 2019 41.0 Calls @ .06 credit
Rolled TQQQ FEB 15 2019 40.0 Call to MAR 15 2019 41.0 Call @ .20 credit (covered)
URI: Book it!
Bought to Close URI FEB 15 2019 105.0 Put @ .20 (sold for 2.30)
UVXY: Rolling short ratio’d puts down. Long LEAP puts working great. This works as a nice hedge on volatility spikes.
Rolled UVXY FEB 15 2019 70.0 Puts to MAR 15 2019 68.0 Puts @ .10 credit
XBI: Ratio’d roll.
Rolled XBI FEB 1 2019 78.0 Calls to FEB 22 2019 79.0 Calls @ .06 credit.
Obviously if I’d seen the Powell capitulation coming I’d not have sold any covered calls. Rolling working fine but capping upside (but giving a nice hedge also). These are all long term positions so working fine. Ratio’d short calls selling below LEAPS is a must. That way the rolls can be gradual since small to no upside risk.

#ShortPuts – This is a little bit of a gamble since there are conflicting reports of an earnings date. I think it’ll be the following week so selling this. This would add to a stock position going into earnings with great call premium available…

Willing to take stock if it falls that much after earnings this week.
#ShortPuts #Earnings – Had pretty good luck with this one in the past. Just selling a put out in Feb monthly so not technically an earnings play but should have some volatility crush in the monthlies. Wouldn’t mind owning a little…
Sold URI Feb 15 2019 105.0 Put @ 2.30
#PieTrades #ShortPuts Sold to Open $T April 31 puts for 1.60.
Replicating my Oct 24th-Jan 18th successful trade. This time it is Jan 22nd to April 18th.
Assignment would be fine on a high-div tock, becomes a PieTrade with covered calls.
#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts #LongPuts #LEAPS – Various adjustments…

#PieTrades #ShortPuts Well, was planning to let this expire or take assignment, but I forgot I had entered a GTC order weeks ago. So it just filled.
Bought to close $T Jan 18th 31 puts for .15. Sold for 1.37 on Oct 24th. Following @fuzzballl on this, but I’ll do the same thing again, sell ATM puts a couple months out, and if assigned take the stock (and dividend) and sell covered calls.
#ShortPuts #IRA – I’ll look to re-load on any weakness…
Bought to Close T Jan 18 2019 31 Puts @0.25 (sold for 1.30)

Bought to Close UPRO DEC 21 2018 30.0 Put @.10 (sold for 1.05)
#ShortPuts #IRA – With enough risk in Dec and Jan I’m looking out to Feb now. 21.5% annualized or a pretty good price to buy some stock if it gets there.
Sold TNA FEB 15 2019 50.0 Put @ 2.20
#ShortPuts #IRA – Just for risk reduction. Now hoping my 65 strike covered calls expire tomorrow. Threading the needle again. 🙂 🙂

#ShortPuts #IRA – I’ve been waiting a long time to get a shot at this for some longer term covered calls. Going aggressive to hopefully get some stock. Staying small…just one contract here to go with the Dec 140 put sold quite awhile ago. Always great premium in this ticker for the call sales.

#ShortPuts #IRA – This is one I’ve been debating about. Since last two earnings haven’t gone all that great I’ve decided to book it since it’s a slightly larger position than I normally do. Maybe they can disappoint again and I can re-sell.
Bought to Close T JAN 18 2019 30.0 Put @ .53 (sold for 1.59)
