Thomas,
That is what I believe too to keep it to themselves.

I don’t know. Gays and Lesbians are already allowed into the same bathroom and showers as their preferential sex so at least washroom, Transgendered should be too.
It is not like the open bathrooms found on some California beaches.I sto another 5 WBA May 78P for 1.20 so 1$ avg for my 10.
I know the reason, wanted to know if this is material – was it already included in the 1.1B shares O/S or will add to the 1.1 thereby adding 13.6% to the float. Surprised there isn’t more analysis of this out there.
Why? I see after market down a lot.
STO mon this afternoon and tried adm. Only mon filled.
BTO 500 shares of CNR for 77.90.
I followed y’all into DAL. They are buying planes so they must be bullish. Hope they hedged oil when under 30.
BTO 400 DAL for 42.50 (synthetic put if and when bounces) and STO 7 May 44P for 2.40.
I got 80 cents. Thanks Amy.
nice setup BB and other TA. Will look at similar trade tomorrow. You have to think oil is high.
I should have my first NFLX sp assigned tomorrow. My first forray into NFLX as love the product and big drop post earnings.
Amy, Followed you on this one for .80 same as you). THAT made it worth my while. Thanks for the heads up.
Amy
Like the trade, had stopped following WBA after last run up and now I see it is coming down to the level I like and earnings are out too. I will wait to lower BB of 78-80 and write puts again.
Currently in profit taking mode prior to May.
Nice trade .
I am excited too but will wait a bit. Got out of CNI and CNR 61.50 and low 80s 2 weeks ago. Looking for prices to drop more to get in. I made lots working there and investing afterwards.

In another group we were discussing airlines and since there are all kinds of risk there, this would be ideal for an ETF (to spread the risk). Are there any good airlines ETF other than the usual transports?
or from anyone else esp. Teddi.
ps. with oil at lofty levels, and if I did airlines, I saw this is good timing IMO.
Amy
From all these reverse condors, etc I think Teddi expect the same May as us. I am in a little UVXY, SPXS and SCO, all contra trades to the market. We should have a fun summer or at least May though the last May have been good for stocks.
If too many people expect something, then the reverse usually happens.
I do have puts for AAPL and bought stock in FB to do a synthetic put (worked great for a 28% return last year on FB earnings).
Good luck today and this week with all these quality companies reporting.
My 2 Canadian cents.
thanks Mark
Yes I have been experimenting with TOS but it can only do US$ so I would need to have multiple platforms. IB can do can retirement accounts as well as regular accounts. I also want to get away from obscene TD Canada commissions (I cannot get them to drop my option price of 1.25 to 1$ as I do 600 contracts per QTR and they need over 1000).
They charge me the same as someone who does 1 option per year.I did get them to cut the ticket price to 4.99 and assignment to 15$.
I am at TD and looking into it too. The interface is much more complicated than TD active trader (as it has more functionality such as multi leg tickets). The other thing is the time and effort and maybe not being able to trade while the transfer is being made. Teddi made a great suggestion to transfer money/cash as trade close until it is all gone to IB.
STO 10 UVXY Apr 22 20P for 2.61. In effect rolled to next week for 1.11cr. Also took .80 out of the trade as well.
Amy
I did my 1st VIX related transaction today as it seemed to good to pass up and it was: UVXY at 19.80 STO 10 Apr 20P for 1.50. This was before 10am and at 4.10 closed for .70 (800$ in 6 hrs).
I have enough of XOM, OXY and RIG puts with April expiry. The risk I feel is oil could go back down easily.
Feb 17 bought 500 UPS at 98.28, wrote the CC waiting for a rise 100CC for 2.10 and last weekend assigned 500 for 100$. Capgain 3.82 + .78 dividend = 4.60 (4.3%) for 3.5 weeks. Really worked well. Thanks Teddi.
I did similar on UPS, got the dividend and it got called away yesterday.
I am up to 3400 shares of SPXS as insurance and this market is frothy, May coming fast. I see little short puts to write (I have written PFE, SKX, SJ.TO this week and profit taking in FB, CN, IR, POW.TO and many puts)
