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 – August 2019
The only option I had in my account that will expire today was one QQQ August $187 covered call. Knowing that it will expire worthless this afternoon (giving me a reduction of my average cost per share of $2.27), I sold a new covered call on my QQQ shares this morning. While QQQ was trading…
Sold QQQ September Naked Put
I delayed replacing my expired MSFT position from May and then I blinked and we’re at the end of July all of the sudden. Yesterday afternoon, I entered a limit order for a new QQQ naked put and wasn’t sure I wanted to add another 100 shares on top of the 100 I already have,…
QQQ Naked Put Assigned
I logged into my account this morning to see my QQQ June $191 naked put was assigned. QQQ was trading at $190.14 when I sold this put option at the end of April. At the end of trading yesterday, QQQ finished at $176.07. I’m sitting on a paper loss right now, but at least I…
Sold June QQQ Naked Put
I’ve been slow to replace my AAPL naked put that expired a week ago. Part of that delay in action was due to my expectation of some weakness hitting stocks and the other part was just due to time constraints from work and life in general. I got caught up today, mostly, and finally got…
Options Expiration – January 2018
I only had two options left to expire today, one IWM January $148 naked put and one QQQ January $153 naked put. Both are far out of the money and will expire worthless. I’ll have a realized gain of $340.32 on the IWM put and $286.32 on the QQQ put. IWM was trading at $148.59…
Options Expiration – November 2017
I’m slammed for time today, so just a very brief update to offer for now. I had one QQQ November $149 naked put expire worthless today and replaced. While QQQ was trading at $154.28, I sold one QQQ January $153 naked put for $2.87 and received $286.32 after paying $0.68 in commission. I had one…
Options Expiration – October 2017
The only two October naked put options I had remaining expired worthless today. IWM finished the week at $149.99, well above my October $137 strike. QQQ finished the week at $148.74, also far above my October $142 strike. I should’ve rolled these earlier, but wasn’t bullish enough to pull the trigger. Now I need to…
Sold November IWM and QQQ Naked Puts
My three options set to expire in October are all out of the money (two are far out of the money and one is close to the money) and I really should’ve traded these two earlier to roll them higher, but I haven’t put the focus needed on my own account much lately. That brought…
