BTC May 22 P 70 for .20. Took the 1/2 grand and ran.

[hache02]

I BTC Thursday to roll and couldn’t get my price luckily. I didn’t roll today, wait to see how it plays out Monday. I still have 2 leaps that nets 101$ but could be dead money or worse.

[hache02]

STO May 22 P 70 for 1.20. I figure it gap-ed down too much.

[hache02]

I think if someone can buy AOL (yikes), then why not TWTR.

[hache02]

This would be great in Canadian RSP where we cannot do CSP. Also I get charged 43$ for assignment at TD Canada, good point schepp25.

[hache02]

I am applying the same technique but on GOOG. I find GOOG cheaper or less risky for me. I write the weekly when it approaches 520. Pays my property taxes like AAPL did 2 years ago.

[hache02]

nice, 1%, about 3 weeks, a typical Teddi trade.

[hache02]

STO June 40 TWTR for 2.20. This completes my 5 puts/500 shares strategy. I never expected this fiasco and so I will keep my shares purchased for 51$.

DD up big on new of ISS recommends voting for activist Peltz for DuPont board.

Teddi, what is your take on the spike I believe on this headline?

Take profit, let it run, synthetic put in retirement acct to match my ladder puts I have already for May 1 and May 8th?

thanks

[hache02]

I know, must be that effect plus short covering. I am patient. This price is insane.

[hache02]

I have profit to 78.33 ish so still good

[hache02]

Villager, Sorry I missed your question and funnily, I am trying to STC the shares as I got assigned. I also have the 10 May 41 for .93. If I can get .30, I will BTC to puts as well.

I have tried this Synthetic put on FB

FB 81.71 and CC for the 78C April 24 for 6.85 = 84.85 weekly. 9 puts
FB 81.10 and same CC for 6.85 = 84.85 weekly (I have 2 RRSP acct) 2 puts

thanks Teddi, Randy and Bill for the idea/strategy notes.

finished my roll at 75 getting another 3.60 for a roll to 75 of 3.275 net credit per. (May 15th)

[hache02]

My theory is that more and more have smartphones and can more easily trade on vacation/trips and so the May effect is no longer as strong and people have other ways to make money than just buying stocks. Last 2 years May has been great.

[hache02]

Bought another set of FB shares for 81.10 so my net is 81.71. I was thinking of going with DITM CC for Friday expiration OR just selling shares for a 2500$ profit before earnings. Any thoughts, Teddi, Amy or any other?

[hache02]

Bought FB at 82.20 as 1st part of your CC strategy.
Maybe try same with GOOG

[hache02]

Yes I have target prices and when it drops close to it (95), I go out to where I can get 1$ or so. I sold assigned shares at 101$ so if assigned, a good price vs STC price. Replaced YUM puts I closed the same day, same space.

[hache02]

I like your techniques and apply somewhat to stocks I like. thanks a lot

[hache02]

BTC SKX April 70C for 1.65 profit per contract and STO May 75C for 2.95 (roll higher).

[hache02]

STO May 1st 95 (MCD) for 1.06

[hache02]

Are these still calls?

[hache02]

For me, I am 20% cash now plus bought the SDOW and SPSX last week. I guess I will keep nibbling as good stocks keep coming up, chart wise. thanks for your opinion.

[hache02]

thanks Teddi, I just thought the advantage of the S&P Ultra is with more components, therefore less volatility, less risk due to less black swan effect (averaged out to more components) for example.
