Not that it’s a surprise to anyone, but this is not a good options expiration Friday for my account. All of my naked puts finished in the money and all of my covered calls finished out of the money. These are the 11 options I was short going into the day. CSX – 1 August [...] Read More

I’ve mentioned a couple of times recently that I was considering QCOM as one of my next trades. I finally got around to it today. While QCOM was trading at .27 I sold one QCOM August .50 naked put for .80 and received 9.64 after commissions. I only sold one Read More

VXX, two August 24 Puts – I’ll be assigned 200 shares of VXX on Monday morning. Instead of trying to roll Read More

What started just a couple of weeks ago as an easy ride into expiration turned around on me very quickly, especially in the last few days before today’s relief. I’m still not sure what to think with where the markets are heading over the next week/month and so I started Read More

I’m finally back to my desk physically and probably 40% mentally. My vertebrae surgery was a success (or so we think so far), but I had complications the following week and had to go back into the hospital for two extra nights due to some serious swallowing problems. Without Read More
