Parking historical results: October maturities (started buying stock and writing calls): VPHM 17.50s BWNG 5.00s MNTA 25.00s NKTR 17.50s They worked with the exception of NKTR. November maturities (started selling puts, with exception of NKTR and a VPHM buy-and-write): VPHM 20.00 call VPHM 20.00 VPHM 17.50 SEPR 55.00 NKTR 15.00 call NKTR 15.00 MYGN 20.00 MYGN 20.00 They generally worked, but the VPHM 20 put and MYGN were partial winners. December maturities (all puts except writing calls on VPHM and CHS, which a long-term position): VPHM 17.50 call VPHM 17.50 VPHM 17.50 TRLG 12.50 TRLG 12.50 MNTA 20.00 MNTA 20.00 CHS 45.00 call All winners. Looking back, there are a couple that stocks that I would have been much better off be being long and staying long. BWNG, TRLG, and SFCC have done incredibly well - doubling in less than six, three, and two months. And there are no real disasters, though I didn't really understand the risks in a couple, like ALKS.
