$NUGT #ShortPuts – Bought to close NUGT JAN 13 2017 7.0 Puts @ 0.01. It won’t trade any lower in these IRA accounts. Covering since movements in NUGT tend to be sharp and unpredictable.

It’s convenient that these are now trading in penny increments.

$DUST #ShortPuts – I already have positions in these, and since I WILL BE HOLDING until late on the expiration day before rolling or closing them out, I added 1 more contract to each position.
DUST did break below 45 at the close.
Sold 1 DUST Dec 30 2016 45.0 Put @ 1.60 – risky !!
Sold 1 DUST Jan 6 2017 40.0 Put @ 1.65
