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

On Friday I pointed out my regret for not closing out my ITRI position when I had a chance to exit for a few bucks. That bit me a little harder this morning as ITRI fell deeper than Friday’s close. I didn’t wait very long this morning before trying to sell a covered call on [...] Read More

I had short options on four different stocks/ETFs that expired today. All were profitable and I plan to work with all of them again for either May or June expiration options. My only April option that wasn’t profitable was QCOM and it was assigned a couple of days ago and Read More

I’ve been trying to decide what to do with my VXX position for weeks, if not months. Finally this weekend I figured out a plan that limited my downside and left a good bit of upside potential. I started off by looking at the cost of just buying puts for protection and then saw that [...] Read More

I bought back my Itron, Inc. (ITRI) October 60 covered calls on Friday, but waited until today to have access to the December options to sell new calls. I think ITRI is on the come back and so this time I aimed higher with my strike. While ITRI was trading at .46 this morning I sold [...] Read More

I only have a few options expiring today with mixed results. The rest of my portfolio is weighted to November’s expiration. If nothing drastic happens in the next few trading days, I’ll start working towards building up my options for December’s expiration and Read More

Today’s option expiration finished somewhat differently than I thought it was going to as of a week ago. Here’s the breakdown of how it went down:
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

After the markets closed yesterday I spent some time checking my exposure and noticed that although I was technically fully invested (if every naked put I’m short is assigned), I had some good cushions on a few of my naked put positions which made me feel like I could extend Read More
