No option expiry to report today. I've been busy at work lately with the auditors up our asses. But today, I get some time to myself as my controller is not at work. (He caught me browsing before and had a talk with me before.)
Last Friday, the market continued to drop. My portfolio sank hard and fast. This week, I saw my portfolio fluctuate $15k. It's hard to swallow then you're watching all your paper gains disappear before your eyes!
I had a few short PUTs to roll out: $FB to Nov15, (2)-$NFLX Jan16 & (2)-$WMT Jan17! My buying power will be tied up for a while. I am staying cautious at this time. A little annoyed that I made those trades earlier in the week and it blew up in my face. If only, I let my shares assigned for $FB & $NFLX, I'd be able to walk away with a few hundred buckeroos... but I was scared and covered my ass with lower strike prices for $FB @ $77.50 and $NFLX @ $95.00. But time is of the essence.
Another missed opportunity, I closed my long PUTS @ $209.50 on $SPY just before the market crashed last Thursday. OPPORTUNITY WAS THERE FOR ME, but I squandered it all.
Anyways, time to move on and quit reminiscing. I have a number of options expiring on Sept18'15. I hope the market continues to stabilize and make a run back up to the levels where we have gotten so used to!
