$X #ShortPuts – Bought to close X Apr 15 2016 7.0 Puts @ 0.01. These can’t drop any lower and this releases some margin.

Originally sold last November @ 1.35

$NFLX #ShortPuts – Bought to close NFLX Jan 20 2017 85.71 Puts @ 9.75 .

These don’t expire for 298 more days but I’m reducing my downside exposure across the board on ultra long term puts in volatile stocks. I think we have a big downdraft sometime this spring.

Originally sold last August at 11.30 and 12.50. At the time I was short a bunch of NFLX calls which are all gone.

$GMCR #ShortPuts – Once the takeover offer for GMCR was announced I shorted a bunch of Puts for Both Jan 2017 and Jan 2018 for whatever I could get for them. I knew that whenever the merger was about to close, the options would collapse before being delisted.

I covered some of them today to get rid of the margin requirement.

Bought to close GMCR Jan 19 2018 75.0 Puts @ 0.02 – Sold for 1.50 and again at 2.00
Bought to close GMCR Jan 19 2018 70.0 Puts @ 0.02 – Sold for 1.00 and again at 1.50

These were sold in December and technically have 693 Days to Expiration. But should be delisted way before that.
