Day before Expiration

Option Position
AAPL 20MAR2015 97.5 P-2
GOOGL 20MAR2015 495 P5
GOOGL 20MAR2015 500 P-5
TXRH 20MAR2015 35 P-1
V 20MAR2015 63.75 P20
V 20MAR2015 65 P-20

I'm not too worried about my top three options that are expiring on March 20, 2015.  I will let them expire worthless.  Yes, that's the term we option traders use.  

As for Visa, I want to close out my position for March 20, 2015 in case of a downside.  But Visa split 4:1 today.  Instead of having 5 contracts for my bull put spread, now I have 20 contracts.  This means my commission will be quadrupled and eat into my profits.  So I am going to let it ride out.  Really hoping V will stay above $65 per share by end of tomorrow.

If all goes according to plan, I stand to gain a net of $971.65 in realized profits.
