United Steel (X) trade adjustment
UPDATE: June 23, 2017 X is moving up (although I still believe that in the next ER they will miss badly again) but decided to roll my calls higher. In my previous trade (see below) I sold 18 strike puts to roll the calls up. Those puts were bought back for 0.05 debit today Continue reading →

UPDATE: June 20, 2017 (TRADE CLOSED) I didn’t expect to get early assigned on this but it just happened. At least, I do not have to wait until expiration to get assigned. Today, I bought back 100 shares of AGNC @ 22.50 a share. This closes this trade cycle. I do not plan Continue reading →

May 2017 is over and it is time to report how we did with our options trading. My plan for April 2017 was to make $1,966.19 dollars of income. This month we weren’t able to reach the goal as we received only $1,475.59 dollars of option income. Overall, May 2017 showed us a stagnation in Continue reading →
ESV – a trade which gives me a headache
Last year I opened a put trade against Ensco plc (ESV) stock. Back then, it looked like a no brainer trade. The trade provided a good premium and it seemed I would be out quickly. Since then the trade went south and I have a hard time to get out. Originally, I sold 11 strike Continue reading →
