The final monthly options expiration of the year was an easy one for me. I only had two options scheduled for today’s expiration, a covered call on FEZ and a naked put on MDY. Since today is the ex-dividend date for FEZ, my in the money FEZ December $38 covered call was assigned overnight. I…

Options Expiration – September 2019
I had a busier options expiration Friday yesterday than I’ve had in a long time. I had four options make it all the way to expiration and all four went in my favor. Two gave me a full profit and two gave me a partial profit. I’ve been rolling a lot of my options before…
Options Expiration – June 2019
I usually have more planned for June expiration, but was able to spread out the few option positions I have this summer. The only June contract I had in place today was on MDY and it was in the money slightly, but still gave me a profit. MDY was trading at $355.75 when I sold…
Options Expiration – April 2019
I had two options expire today. One was an MDY April $350 naked put and the other was an AAPL April $175 covered call. The AAPL covered call finished deep in the money. I should’ve dealt with it a few weeks ago, but just didn’t keep my focus on my own account as much as…
Sold April MDY Naked Put
I’ve been ridiculously gun shy about making new trades lately for fear of losing money again. Also, I’ve been busy, but I probably could’ve made time to trade more in my own account if I wasn’t being so nervous about what could happen. My rationale is based on how far we’ve come over the past…
Options Expiration – December 2017
Today is the last monthly options expiration day of the year and I had three options expire worthless, giving me a full profit on each of them. My ADI December $80 naked put gave me a realized gain of $266.70. My AAPL December $155 naked put gave me a realized gain of $516.89. I sold…
Rolled MDY Naked Put from September to December
Before I get to today’s trades, let me know how many of you watched the iPhone 8 and iPhone X announcements today and if you think the sales will be as strong as expected. I’m still short an AAPL October $160 put and plan to let it run for a few more weeks, if not…
DIS and MDY Naked Puts
Coming into this coming Friday’s option expiration, I have two MDY June $290 naked puts left to expire. Being more than $9 out of the money, I opted to leave them in place and let them expire worthless. While I’m still nervous about what’s to come for the markets, I opted to sell one at…
Options Expiration – December 2016
Today was the ex-dividend date for MDY and someone decided to assign my shares a day early so they could take advantage of the dividend. After closing at $104.69 yesterday, my one MDY December $290 covered call was assigned and I sold my 100 shares of MDY for $290.00 while I took a full profit…
