Teddi KnightKeymaster
The drop in FedEx Stock definitely helped my Trade Ahead Of Earnings.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterA lot I suppose will depend on Trump’s infrastructure bill. Nonetheless with premiums large enough, this should be an easy roll-down. It’s a great company and well-managed. They did an absolutely marvellous job of surviving the credit crisis. In that bear market I was assigned 3000 shares as I sold deep in the money naked puts hoping to make money on the way back up. Nucor has been around for decades. I expect it to outlive me for sure. LOL.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterYes, absolutely a sweet trade in my opinion especially when you examine the chart pattern for Intel that is in the Home On The Range Strategy in my article from lunch today. https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/become-a-better-investor-dont-be-an-absent-landlord-home-on-the-range-and-stocks-for-zero/
If Intel fell below $34 it would be moving back to an old range making selling the lower puts quite worthwhile in my opinion. I think I will have to sell some tomorrow! I talked myself into it. LOL.Teddi KnightKeymasterHi Art
On Mar 2 I sold the Mar 31 expiry for 20 puts. I closed it on Mar 21. That ended that trade. There are no trades left for Mar 31. My comment was off a bit. I changed it to reflect that I am talking about the opportunities to start closing April trades next week so I can then open up still further trades. Thanks for spotting that. Hopefully my new paragraph makes more sense.Teddi KnightKeymasterJust keep on bringing in income with the stock stuck sideways. Nice trade and good timing.
Teddi KnightKeymasterNow you are thinking outside the box. Either way with the stock in turmoil here, the trade could end with you earning income from both sides. If not then one side will definitely win out. Beauty trade in my opinion.
Teddi KnightKeymasterAlso don’t forget since you are holding the $39 put strike for June, you probably want the stock to recover to $39. So in a bounce back in the stock over the next couple of weeks, watch for the chance to sell the June $39 call strike to earn more income.
Teddi KnightKeymasterYou could add to your trade and sell some far out of the money naked puts for June such as $31 or $32 put strike. If assigned, it will bring your cost basis still lower and if the stock moves back up it may leave your position out of the money. Just a few ideas.
See this article from this morning https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/become-a-better-investor-dont-be-an-absent-landlord-home-on-the-range-and-stocks-for-zero/Teddi KnightKeymasterIt comes down to your goal and your outlook for the stock. This article which I wrote this morning might assist you to perhaps think outside the box. I used your comments in my article. https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/become-a-better-investor-dont-be-an-absent-landlord-home-on-the-range-and-stocks-for-zero/

Teddi KnightKeymasterIntel is coming back down again. I will be selling the $34.50 put strike or $34 by the looks of it.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterI will be joining AMY shortly but not at $58. I am in at $56 for April 21 expiry. https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/morning-trade-alerts-and-ideas-for-mar-23-2017/
Teddi KnightKeymasterLooks like an interesting trade especially with earnings out on April 20. Here is a trade I entered which expires April 13. I sold the $63 put strike. https://www.fullyinformed.com/copy-of-microsoft-stock-msft-trade-alert-for-feb-17-2017/

Teddi KnightKeymasterIf you are concerned about being assigned that means you need to be lower. Roll-down and further out in time would be my suggestion. Review Sam’s questions and a few answers here. https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/investor-questions-knowing-when-to-roll-down-or-get-out-of-a-short-put-trade-intel-stock/

Teddi KnightKeymasterCould be a bit too tight on the put strike but if you have the capital then it is easy to defend. Enjoy your vacation.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterI rolled my $65 puts down to $62.50 for April 21 expiry so I hope you are correct Mark. LOL. https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/tomorrows-trade-portfolio-mar-2017-summary/ You can see the roll-down under March 17 in the trade table.

Teddi KnightKeymasterMLPs are Master Limited Partnerships which I would think should work but I have not traded them and have no interest in trading them. But the strategies work with ETFs so they might work although ETFs are much broader in the scope of stocks in an ETF which makes them more easy to trade with my various strategies.
Teddi KnightKeymasterHI Mark. This was not a Tomorrow’s Trade. It was in my USA Portfolio. The last article on the trade was here: https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/trade-alerts-as-intel-intc-spend-15-3-billion-for-mobileye-march-13-2017/ last week.
Teddi KnightKeymasterA great idea Tom. I ran the idea by the programmers. They are thinking of establishing an investor profile where you would store stocks you are following, or trades you are in. The alerts could be sent there and then the investor can either check their account or the programmers were thinking about text messages to cell phones which is a lot better than an email.
Right now they are working on adding probability of assignment to option trades and a repair strategy to advise when an investor might want to consider closing a trade early or at what point. For example, a stock pulls back and an investor wonders “should I close now and take just 40% of the profit or should I wait”.
The software then looks at the trade, the strike (call or put) that was sold and whether to close early and the odds of the trade failing.
Ultimately they want to have an investor spreadsheet style layout in an investor’s account which is populated by the trades that are held. Then a warning can be signaled on the account advising which trades might be in trouble or could be closed early to get capital back working again.
It’s been a lot of work but it is certainly fun! I cannot believe how often I am using the new Put Options Selling Tool Analysis. Just about every trade I have done I am checking out the analysis.
Thanks again for your idea. They are definitely something that could be added.
Take care

Teddi KnightKeymasterHi Art. I hope my other article helps you with margin. As well, please note that with the latest trades today, I only needed to buy 15 long puts as I had 15 long puts left over from yesterday to assist in secure the spreads.
As well Art, you will notice that the margin amounts will keep changing depending on how much capital is committed. Today the margin rate is lower as more trades were committed. this left behind still enough capital for a few more trades either Friday or probably next week. I am hoping the stock dips a bit more to push up the put premiums.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterMore of these are being added all the time. So thanks for the praise. It makes the work worthwhile and it is a lot of work. LOL.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterHi Art;
Margin fluctuates with the trades being placed and is based on the cash available as well as the trades themselves. I hope this article answers your questions. https://www.fullyinformed.com/members/facebook-stock-fb-million-dollar-challenge-update-and-questions-mar-16-2017/Teddi KnightKeymasterThe stock is pulling back today and may have a bit more room to fall. I have more naked puts ready to sell to add to my trades from March 15. Put this one on the watch list for Friday or Monday
Teddi KnightKeymasterThanks for your comments. There is more to come for the website but so far it seems to be working out well. Thanks again.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterMore is being added shortly so thank you for your comments. If anyone has further ideas what they would like to see be sure to let me know. You can post it to this forum.
TeddiTeddi KnightKeymasterI won’t be doing this trade until Friday as I want to be sure on my covered calls. A lot can happen in 2 days.
