Starting to try a cash flow method on a low priced stock. NOK has earnings soon, so IV is pumped up here. $6 put was trading for $.15 when I sold them, ~2.5% premium for $600 in stock over the course of 25 days. If I am assigned, I'll look to sell calls immediately again, hoping to get the stock called away and start the process over. If I am stuck holding the ...

So I Saw Yet Another $1000 Dollar System For Sale. This Marketer Actually Had A Decent System…But Left A Lot Of Key…And I Mean Important Information Out. Likely To Get People To Pay For His Weekly Picks. ***I’m Tired Of These Marketers Hyping Up A System…Charging A Premium…And Taking Money From People Who After Taking The Course Don’t Even Realize How Much ...

Cash flow play here. Sold $INTC $34 put for $.56, 1.46 return on capital over the next 25 days. I'll look to rinse and repeat until assigned and then sell calls again. Breakeven is $34 - .56, or $33.44.

This one is for a longer term approach. MSFT currently has a 2.10% divvy, according to FINVIZ. Selling the $70 put in September yielded $0.77 in credit, which is almost 1/2 of the yearly dividend that MFST gives out to start with. I will take this stock if the put expires in the money, giving me a basis of $69.23, which is about 5.5% below current price. If put ...

Cash flow play here. Sold $KR $22.5 put for $.32, 1.4% return on capital over the next 25 days. I'll look to rinse and repeat until assigned and then sell calls again.

Placed an Iron Condor synthetic strangle on IWM with a 10 point sell side spread to collect .70 cents in premium. Will be looking to take the trade off at 50% max profit as soon as possible. In the event that the premium comes in faster, withing the first 10 days of the trade I will be looking to take trade off at 30-40% Max profit then redeploy.

T stock has earnings July 25 after the bell and the current implied volatility is inflated. Can current stock owners profit from selling premium before earnings? What if the investor is willing to acquire more shares if the stock falls to the put strike and willing to sell shares held if the stock price rises to the call strike? Last price of of 36.52 Implied ...

vix is to low right now, nasdaq 5% in a month.

FOR THE LAST WEEK WFM HAS BEEN TRADING ABOVE THE $42 ALL CASH OFFER FOR WHOLE FOODS. I AM TAKING THE VIEW THAT WHEN A STOCK IS CONSISTENTLY ABOVE THE OFFER PRICE (ESPECIALLY IN AN ALL CASH BID) THAT THERE ARE OTHERS INTERESTED IN THE COMPANY. THE STORY HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF ATTENTION AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPANIES WHO COULD USE THIS (NOW THAT IT HAS ...

After last earnings Costco had a 14% down move. If we take into consideration last year, we have a CVPOC at around $150 Price, and in the shorter term the VPOC is around $167 (2017). That means that those prices are the ones that have traded the most and considered fair for the stock. With an IV Rank at 67 we can sell some premium, so given the down move I ...

With the spike in volatility and knowing that next week might be a slow one I did a short play on volatility. Sold the 8 days to expiration 14 Call on VXX for $0.68 per contract. This is a naked trade and it is a high probability trade, but it can be very risky if volatility explodes. If that happens we will have to defend it, but most likely by the end of ...

Long term buy setup at monthly demand level around 54.83. Clear big picture long term long bias at areas of demand

This post takes over from the previous one (see below), as we propose to take full profits ahead of earnings publication on July 13. The logic is to entirely remove any risk related to earnings disappointment, while keeping full upside exposure. The cost of this strategy will be < 2% (to be put in perspective with the 22.5% we have achieved so far on the long ...

Despite a solid earnings report, $MU took a beating today and has a lot of bulls scared. However, looking at the OBV and the fib retrace i set on it...the largest volume bar of recent wasn't the one that brought it to the level it's at now. A weak break (weak on volume) there is important because it means that a little more volume can kick it back up fairly ...
