$X Iron FlyHitting this one again. Worked out well last month. Only widening the strikes a bit to give more room and also increase max profit. This does add risk to the trade however, but with a greater probability of profit.

TRUE SCANDAL HAPPENED WITH BYND MEAT SHARE SALES AND ISSUE !!!! SELL THE SHARES OR SHORT THEM - THE COLLAPSE HAS JUST STARTED !!!!!
What happened to beyond Meat is an flagrant demonstration of how top executives and the Law autorise them to screw existing and late shareholders to make tons of money on their back and let them take the slide and huge losses.
clearly selling shares at 160 $ to privileged shareholders is screaming to the market that the 230$ price is way overvalued and it is all natural for the market to correct sharply to 160$ in a short period of time actually all happened from 234 TO 180 THEN the day of sales from 180 to 160 in one day.
Now investors being screwed are frustrated and give up the stock massively adding to that all the short sellers then there is absolutely no wonder the share will slide much lower in the short term as the 6 times profits were totally disconnected from reality however the numbers and fundamentals were good. Revenues tripling and share price making 7 times is a clear disconnection.
And all lucky early investors are looking now their potential profit going south and they will sell also massively to still make a huge multiple bagger
I personally think this should be illegal to offer massive amount of shares to the secondary market before proposing existing shareholders to buy them discounted and issuing right issue to compensate them for the dilution and share price decrease that will automatically follows.
A true scandal !!! and free money to short sellers by tipping them so loudly with this share sales at 160 $ !! I can't believe management or investment bankers advising them on the sales are so dump to not know the consequences .
Fed action further distanced SP500 from 3000This is a follow up to GAMS' first post.
The Fed's 25bps cut, coupled with hawkish verbiage, added more weight to the already dwindling American corporate earnings and further confirmed GAMS's bearish view towards the rest of 2019.
Strong USD will create strong headwind to heavy-weight components in SP500 like MSFT, AAPL, etc who rely heavily on foreign revenues. As corporate earnings start to take a nose dive as it is about to now, the Fed wouldn't have any ammunition to turn the tide any more.
GAMS is extremely bearish with USD and SPX, in the medium to long term. We see GLD, JPY and long UST duration as safe havens in this environment.
To express above views, GAMS had entered below strategies.
1. Bull put spread on GLD, 132/152, Dec2019 exp. This creates upfront credit
2. Credit from leg 1 to buy TLT
3. Monthly TLT Covered Call
4. ITM put on SPY, Dec2019 exp.
SOLD PUTS ON TESLA at 217,50 FOR 4,10 $ EXP 09/08Well I love Tesla and the way people love or hate the stock
it is a great candidate for options sellers
so Tesla has an obvious uptrend right now so i did already 90,73 % on this one so too late guys for you
Tesla to my view has just a bit a run up but not much until a bad news comes to send the stock back !!!!
As you can see my strike was really safe but still 1,8 % on one week holding
Will close the trade by Friday And roll over to an other stock
SOLD PUTS ON BOEING STRIKE 340 for 4,50$ exp 09/08 BOEING AN OTHER GREAT COMPANY IN DISTRESS BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AIRMAX ISSUES
i OBSERVED A VERY STRONG RESISTANCE AT 340 $ AND IS HISTORICALLY AT THE BOTTOM CHEAP SO DONT EXPECT THE STOCK GOES LOWER THAN 340 $ ST
450 $ on 34000 1,3 % is not like BYND but here volatility is low so is the risk
All the beating has been done
sold puts on Under Armour premium more than doubled SOLD 10 PUTS AT 0,75 $ STRIKE 21 MATURITY 09/08
VOLATILITY ROCKETED AFTER EARNINGS BECAUSE THEY MISSED US targets but the overall results are beating estimates and the story is still very good
Happy to get the stock And sell calls
don't think the stock will collapse below 20 $ , no reason for it
sold puts on BYND @ 182,50 and 187,50 for 2600$Thanks god people are so scared for nothing especially with outstanding companies like beyond meat , the company had impressive results and announced a share issue because of that the stock collapse and volatility shoot up
now just imagine the premium you got on a stock like this and i missed the opportunity to sell two time higher ans i wanted to see how the stock reacted and rebounded
So i sol one put at 8,0 $ maturing 16/08 so 4,3 % return on 2 weeks strike at 182,50
sold an other one for 18,00 $ maturing 30/08 so 9,6% !!!! return on 1 month strike at 187,50
WOW IT IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY SUCH HIGH PREMIUM AND I COULD EASILY HAVE DOUBLE IT IF I WAS MORE DARING
AGAIN THE COMPANY IS SOLID AND THE STOCK HAD A HUGE RESISTANCE REACHING 185 $ AND REBOUNDED SO FAST
EVEN STIKED YOU WOULD GET IT FOR 8 AND 18 $ DISCOUNT FROM THE LOWEST POINT WHEN THE STOCK DROPPED
tHEN YOU SELL CALLS
I don't believe will be triggered
SELLING PUTS ON AMAZON 1935 $ TILL THURSDAY NIGHT TO MILK IT IV is at 50% and premium hoover at around 26-30 so i don't expect huge swing below 1935 till earnings at closure Thursday
Theta is around -5,0xxxx so i will cream the option time value till Thursday and get out
So 2000 $ ish target in one week
Lets see
BE READY TO BUY CALLS ON NETFIX NO RESISTANCE TILL 340 Obviously the results on NETFLIX WERE REALLY GOOD financially speaking !!!!
What the market forget is the big picture that net subscribers increase a lot during the first two quarters at a higher price point.
this miss target happened last year as well at Q2 so seasonality is a factor here, especially people star their new subscription at the beginning and end of year mostly.
Very unlikely the stock will go south from here and i bet it will recover to 340 rapidly
So few strategies to play price when written 324,97
- SELL PUTS WHILE THEY ARE STILL EXPENSIVE AT THE MONEY OR SLIGHTLY IN THE MONEY : 1000 $ one month per contract
- buy the stock now and lock in the profit at 325 for 1000 $ again per contract : 3% locked over 1 month or take the strike higher to 340 $ : if triggered 1503 profit from shares + 510 $ contract = 2013 $ on 32497 = 6,1% over one month
I guess you get my point now , play around strikes and put/calls however you like and enjoy the money while the IV is high!
IF NOT TRIGGERED ROLL OVER THIS AND ENJOY THE PREMIUM + PROFIT
SOLD MORE PUT ON THE HIGHER IV NETFLIX 360 @ 11$ 19/07 yesterday was expecting a higher vol on Netflix so placed an extra limit order at 11 (remember Friday was at 7,80)
When the stock reached 362 the trade triggered and went even to 11,80 each share !!!!! before coming back quickly to 369
As I said 360 is a great support for ST trading.
Lets see what the results will be today on Netflix but pre market is up , maybe those fearing bad reaction sold off already so i guess buyers will enter the stock today if want benefit the result earnings.
I have enough exposure on Netflix so will just let the position with 2 short at 9,80 $ average price or 1880 / 72000 = 2,6% trade in one week !!!!
Happy to get triggered so i can sell covered call on the stocks with high IV.
PUTS on NETFLIX VERY HOT RIGHT NOW 19/07 1000 + $ per contract PUTS ON NEFLIX EXP IN TWO DAYS STILL TRADE AT 1000 $ PER CONTRACT !!!!!!
I am already loaded so i prefer to wait for the results tonite and see where the price go
The 362 resistance still work ST i placed my bet at 360
BE READY TOMORRROW MORNING TO TRADE THE PUTS EVEN AT 50% DISCOUNT IF THE PRICE SHOOT UP
IF NOT SELL PUTS AT A MUCH LOWER STRIKE WOULD SAY 340 BUT SURE WILL BE A GOOD DEAL OF CLOSE TO 1000 $ FOR TWO DAYS
QUICK TODAY ON 2 TESLA PUTS EXP 12 AND 19/07/2019 STRIKE 240 Just decided to do an easy quickie on two trade
Everyone can see that Tesla is very bullish right now so i wanted to play the volatility on the PUTS
put two sell orders at 240 with two different expiries
one at 0,57 for today and second at 4,80 both triggered when the trend was downward during the first few hours.
The one of today was set at the lowest of the first hour trading range around 240 as you can see on chart
For sure will be an easy 57 dollar on 100 shares, small but better on my pocket :-)
the second is on one week 19/07 made 480 dollar on 100 shares , unlikely will be in the money but if it is then happy to buy TESLA at 240 and sell one week calls at 250 dollar for a quick win on a sales.
if not triggered these easy trades makes 537 dollar per 100 shares so 24000 = 2,2% in one week so around 100 % annualised
selling PUTS on NETFLIX at 360 for 7,80 exp 19/07/2019I sold some puts on Friday on Netflix 360 19/07/2019 triggered at 7,80 $ !!!!
You can see clearly that Netflix is experiencing a pull back on Friday which i have benefited by selling Puts on a HIGH IV of 70%
resistance on chart both at 50 and 100 days shows 360 and the first résistance on chart coincides at 360 as well
if broken expect the stock moving to 340 next resistance level
So I will monitor on Monday pre market and opening what the direction during the first hour of market is and if the price moves lower before earning then sell at 340 if you don't want a bad surprise but if daring like me then sell at 360 again and try to sell each put over 10$ on 100 shares
Stock recommendation are strong buy with only one sell rating so fundamentalists look bullish on the stock so don't be to scare if you get triggered just enjoy the volatility to sell puts expensive.
