The calls are extensions of prior writes in my main account. I took a loss on the CHS, but picked up about another 1.10 on the extension.
The GRMN puts are similar to the ones that I have done on SEPR in the past - much lower return than the others, but I understand the company much better and would not be worried that I will hold the common for along period if it is put to me. The common has much less volatility, so it will not have the same kind of percentage return - and eats up much more committed capital to get much of a dollar return at all.
The GRMN and VPHM look to be in the worst shape right now (though Barrons' article on GRMN may help). I still have some VPHM common long to sell a call against if I can get ~1.00 on the 22.50s. I should have done much more TRLG when it took a nose dive, but it is a very volatile stock, so I might lose on this trade yet. The BWNG trades should do fine, but are not big percentage winners. MDCO is the one that has a big event right before expiration, but I hope that the common will be high enough going into the news, that a negative move will not cause a drop that would lose my entire proceeds, but TWT. I should have done some RMBS when it was mentioned, but I wanted to follow it for a while and don't feel comfortable yet. I am simply uncomfortable to write on many that I have used successfully in the past - NKTR, ALKS, MOGN, SFCC, more MNTA at these prices, MYGN, and SEPR. March will be quite a bit under goal since I have not found enough to do. April may be very difficult to pull the trigger on anything, but two three weeks is a long time. |
