I might have gotten a little trigger happy today. My limit orders weren’t hitting, so I reduced a few of them and two hit 30-40 minutes later. CELG – I sold one April 55 naked put (LQHPK) and received $239.25 after commissions. DIS – I sold three April 32.50 naked puts (DISPZ) and received $302.75…

Sold SFLY Uncovered Calls
I’m still betting against SFLY. It found support not far below its current price, but I think the upside is very limited. I lowered my targeted strike and today while SFLY was trading at 16.27 I sold three April 17.50 calls (QFYDW) on it and received $257.75 after commissions. Those three calls are the total volume…
Foster Wheeler (FWLT) Naked Puts
FWLT is one of those stocks I like to keep coming back to. It’s volatile enough to give good premiums and profitable enough that I don’t see a complete wipeout in their future. They missed earnings today which made the stock drop more than 10% at open. I saw the headline and was happy I hadn’t…
No Index Chart
I didn’t get around to charting an index this weekend. We were pretty busy – Mother-in-law came over Friday night, Funeral on Saturday and I replaced my Dad’s computer on Sunday. Apparently, computers over 10 years old suck and don’t like to have data transfered without freezing up at least a dozen times. In the…
Dumped my AAPL Naked Put
I was planning to wait it out, but decided to get out of AAPL this afternoon with a ~$30 profit. I sold one naked put a couple of weeks ago. I was up $300 as of this morning on paper, but held and saw AAPL’s price fall throughout the day. I gave in when I saw an…
Monsanto Naked Puts
Monsanto (MON) is another of my favorites for selling options on. I think it has a good long term chance of moving higher and it’s volatile which pushes the premiums higher. While MON was trading at $117.09 I sold one April 100 naked put (MONPC) and received $299.25 after commissions. It went above 120 briefly…
Easing Back In With DSX Naked Puts
DSX is so volatile that I figured it would drop again some, but the premium for the April 25 was so high already that I didn’t want to miss out if it stabalized or even just went up a little more. The bid/ask was around .85 yesterday and I put my order in to sell…
Post Option Expiration Trades
After my February covered calls and naked puts were called away and assigned I had the need to recover some and open new positions. NVDA – Those who are tired of my rambling on about NVDA will be happy to know I should be done with it for a little while. I opened the day…
Diversification of My Portfolio
I updated my diversification table on my Current Portfolio page and below. I’m far too heavy in Tech since options expiration. What kept me balanced before expiration is no longer part of my account and now I have half of my plays in Tech and it’s worse than that considering the dollar amount for each….
