Transaction Date | Expiry Date | # of Days to Expiry | CALL/PUT | STRIKE $ | Contracts (BPS 2x) | Contract Premiums |
12/26/2014 | 2/20/2015 | 56 | SELL PUT - MDLZ | $34 | 1 | $0.24 |
12/28/2014 | 2/20/2015 | 54 | BPS - PNRA | $155/$150 | 1 | $0.38 |
12/29/2014 | 2/20/2015 | 53 | SELL PUT - MDLZ | $34 | 1 | $0.32 |
2/13/2015 | 2/20/2015 | 7 | SELL PUT - H | $55 | 1 | $0.2 |
Looks like MDLZ will expire worthless and I get to keep my premiums collected $54.12 after holding for 56 days. Slow rate of return but better than not doing anything right?
As for H, this is a bit risky move on my part as I wanted a quick $20 for the week. They will report earnings on Feb 18th before opening bell. Wish me luck! (Update: Closed my position for $15 less commission on Feb 18th)
The only major concern is my PRNA bull put spread. After they reported poor earnings for the quarter, PNRA took a 20% drop on February 12th. Currently, it is sitting at $153.68. I need PNRA to stay above $155 in order for my spread to expire worthless to keep my premiums collected $37.32. If it doesn't, then I'd have to buy to close my spread and sell to open another spread at a later date to get a higher premium.
PRNA was a mistake trade. Being new to Interactive Broker's TWS, I was fiddling on their trading platform going over scenarios. I wanted to pull out the probability of the spread, but l hit wrong button being SUBMIT and my order went through and got at a price I did not want.
Of course, this is no excuse for the turn of events. But shit goes down sometimes and you need to plan your escape plan.
