Well flipped my QQQ's for 3 points this morning.

Meant to buy Aug puts on COMS and bot July's instead (brain already on 3 day holdiay). Betting that once the spinnoff of PALM occurs people will dump COMS.

Anyone know when the Fed meets in June. Poet said the 17th but that is a Saturday.

The repositioning is nice when done on the upside as the deltas are in your favor:

bought qqq june 90 put ask 10.25
sold qqq sept 90 put bid 14.00
net +3.75

with QQQ having dropped a bit since then:

qqq june 90 put ask 11.00
qqq sept 90 put bid 14.25
net +3.25

This will work against you if the underlying has a sharp move upward, would be better off short the junes. However I am looking to work my way into a profit position, and time is my friend.
