BTO Sept. 4 SPY PUTS $208 @ 1.28
Didn’t do Teddi’s quantity though:)
First timer on SPY puts, but I think it’s time to learn, so I went small as a first try.

In other words if the SDOW gets to $19.46 I will add another 500 shares
Since I sold my SDOW last week, I am buying 500 shares at $19.45. Just a starter; probably should just hold it and not trade it….

Hi teddi,
Any suggestions now I have been assigned 1000 DD at 61.5
Hi Teddi, I also have the same sept. trade on the vix @ $2.20, as of today Aug. 16, am down the 20% mark but from your comment above it looks like staying longer before rolling out is the wiser choice, am I correct in assuming this.
Thank you
Cliff
Interestingly, Interactive Brokers sends a dividend triggered option exercise advisory, and in this case the short options MSFT 18sSEP 45 Call are projected as likely to be not assigned early.
I will monitor their communications to see if this changes or if the options are assigned.
Teddi,
I sold my VIX calls @ $2.70. It was a nice .70 profit, and because I went to Sept., any bounce would turn them into losers due to time decay. Next time I will go out a bit farther!

Teddi,
What about selling the MSFT 21Aug15 46.5C, instead of the Sep 45C?
Thanks for your quick response. Going below 85 strike does not yield anything meaningful even if you go out to Sept Month expiration. My personal belief is that Oil should rebound and stabilize around 50. Tough to see this stock go below 80. Even with 82.50 strike there is hardly any premium to be earned. Looks like no trade, unless we buy the stock hold until dividend and then sell CC for a while.
Thanks Teddi. I have learnt something new from your post. CVX also has dividend on 08/17. Any suggestions? Looks risky due to oil situation. I might want to own a few for dividend (not sure if they will continue to pay).
Teddi, what is the advantage of manually adjusting stop losses as the share price climbs vs just setting up say a $.25 trailing stop loss?

“July 24: Sell to open 5 naked puts for August 28 expiry at the $73 put strike for .99 cents. This is a roll-down from my $80 put strike from July 22. I spent $820.00 to close the August 7 expiry $80 puts. The 5 August 28 expiry $73 puts earned $495.00 leaving $325 for me to recover. I will add more puts shortly to recover the rest of the cost to close the $80 puts.”
Are you still in this trade, and do you think $73 is still a decent target?
