#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun24 – I…

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jun24 – I was positioned pretty well for Brexit. I re-acquired some SVXY stock, but just a few weeks ago I sold out of a couple of large blocks above 60. So I’m not too upset. I’ve already sold August Calls against all the new stock.

A pretty good week for NUGT strangles too.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan29 – another successfuly week selling premium. The most fun was the #EarningsCompression trades on $AMZN.

Also got to profitably exit some stock ($APA and $WYNN) recently acquired via Put assignment. I’d rather be long more cash and less stock during this bear market.

#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Dec04 – Pretty good week for selling premium. The pain in DUST is more than offset by my gain in NUGT. I don’t expect DUST will stay down too long.
I have a full plate of positions for next Friday already, thanks to the volatility yesterday.
