Here is a quick update of past trades and our current position.
AA Money
No trade this week as we wait for AA to settle. Phil remarked last week that AA seemed overvalued. In the meantime, it looks like we might have to roll our Feb 9 calls. Good thing we sold only 5 of them against our position.
Last week P&L – 310.00
We lost ground last week, but we still have 11 months to sell premium!
FAS Money
Very good week for FAS Money as we benefited from the large amount of premium sold the previous week. We covered most of the shorts in advance of the Fed speech, but sold another set of options on Wednesday after the speech – 2 FAS calls that expired worthless on Friday, 2 FAS put that we are still holding and 2 FAZ put that we bought back for a profit on Friday. A late stick comparable to last week’s almost gave us problems at the end of the day though!
Last week P&L – $4277.00
IWM Money
A decent week in this virtual portfolio. As with FAS Money, we covered most of our short positions before the Fed speech, the difference being that we were more bearish in this portfolio and the early run last week damaged the position. We sold more options after the speech as well – TZA and TNA puts and TNA calls. We showed some small profits on the TNA options but had to roll the TZA puts and the TNA calls at the end of Friday to counter the late stick.
Last week P&L – $1682.00
FAS Strangle Experiment
A decent week even though we stayed away after Wednesday… We benefited from the set of calls sold last Friday when we rolled our position due to a late stick. The market sold off early Monday and we were able to get out with a nice profit. We sold another profitable strangle on Tuesday and that was the extent of our trades last week!
Last week P&L – $10,350.00
Still, we are now up to 50% of PM margin. Not bad in 10 weeks…
AAPL 50K Portfolio
Well AAPL didn’t disappoint in earnings and the portfolio took off… Great job by lflan!
Last week P&L – $33,385.00
$25KP Portfolio
As usual, I’ll let Phil comment this week.
