I just don't know how frowned upon it is to not close the whole position at once. At any rate, I got stopped out for no loss on the trade at...
I always do dumb stuff like this, but I covered the 20 138's for $.07, booking $220 profit on that, and am now holding the 10 137's and 139's,...
I've been doing a lot of that lately. I am trying to digest the greeks right now. But I've mostly traded around earnings and low IV stuff (like...
Atticus, lets say you were holding the 40/50/60 fly on SODA right now, would you close out the whole thing or just cover the 50's and ride out...

I bought some Mar 30/27.5 strangles for $.80 on CVI which is on a similar pace as the GILD you mentioned, very overbought but earnings coming out...
I agree with the looming correction, but I figured it would only jump to 16.5 or something that the march 17.5 wouldn't budge but the May would...
In for 10 May 17.5 calls on CTB. Hope earnings kickstart it's momentum again.
Sorry, I meant to say bear CALL spread. I tried to edit my post but it was my first one so it was under review and I couldn't change it. I...
