... for a .26 credit. Comments: I could let this ride, but would rather be assigned at a lower strike (if it comes to that). Collected .86 for the 91 (See Post Below). Another .26 here results in 1.08 collected.
In the absence of some kind of face-ripping rally, I'm going to be assigned shares in TLT here shortly, starting with what began as an October 20th 93 short put and an October 20th 89 short put. Here, I'm using short puts as an acquisitional tool, attempting to acquire shares in multi-year weakness, after which I'll proceed to cover the shares with short calls. ...
As I wrote in my last post on TLT, I had a target of $88. $88 was hit on Friday and is now slightly below it today. I went long both via spot and calls. I took March 15 2024 calls at a $101 strike price and I'm anticipating a large move higher playing out by then. I've marked off resistance levels on the chart. Let's see how it plays out over the coming...
US10Y breaking support. Good entry on bond etf's. Only picking up a small amount to get in the door. ZROZ, EDV, and TLT.
... for a 1.20 credit. Comments: Adding a rung out in the Dec 29th expiry at a strike better than what I currently have on. Since I'm in an acquisitional frame of mind with TLT, I'm pretty much going to run with these until they're approaching worthless (i.e., <.05). If I get assigned, I'll proceed to sell call against.
... for a .42 credit. Comments: Received an .88 credit for the 88 (See Post Below); rolling it down and out for a .42 credit. Total credits collected of 1.30. If I'm going to get assigned, lower is naturally better, even if it's only a strike ... .
... for a .65 credit. Comments: Down a smidge and out. .76 collected originally. (See Post Below). With the .65 collected for the roll, 1.41 total.
... for a .85 credit. Comments: Targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit, looking to acquire shares should we get "down there." I would've erected a rung in shorter duration, but didn't want to do that if I couldn't get in at a strike that was better than what I currently have on.
... for a 1.12 credit. Comments: Squeezing in another rung in the December monthly at the 28 delta 89 strike ... . Since I'm getting kind of a spaghetti works here, will primarily look to add in the 45 DTE weeklies and manage the rest of the pasta as duration in those positions shortens.
Comments: Targeting the 16 delta strike here in successive expiries to generate free cash flow and emulate dollar cost averaging into 20 year+ maturity paper. October 20th 89: .77 credit. November 17th 87: .76 credit. December 15th 86: .84 credit. Since these aren't paying buckets of cash on a per contract basis, I'll look to manage these on extrinsic...
Comments: Targeting the 16 delta strikes in November and December to erect rungs at strikes better than what I currently have on to emulate dollar cost averaging into 20 year+ maturity paper. November 17th 86: .83 credit December 15th 84: .79 credit Here, I'm fine with getting assigned and proceeding to sell short call against, but want to get in at the biggest...

There is a Bearish Bat with Bearish Divergence on the TLT, which could perhaps be signaling that the 20-year Bond Auction is going to demand higher yield than the current level.
... for a .32 credit. Comments: Rolling down and out where it makes sense; out "as is" where it doesn't. Collected .83 originally (See Post Below). With the .32 here, 1.15 total. I'm generally looking to try to avoid taking on shares above my current cost basis for the shares I've been assigned already and/or to take on shares at the best possible price that...
... for a .96 credit. Comments: How ... low ... can you go? Targeting the 16 delta strike out in February at a strike better than what I currently have on in shorter duration expiries.
Comments: Targeting the strikes paying around 1% of the strike price in credit at strikes better than what I currently have on. The basic bet here: that interest rates decline ... at some point. (And, yes, it's been a somewhat painful trade so far ... ). December 15th 77: .85 credit January 19th 75: .84 credit
