Apple (AAPL) Earnings Play

10/27/2015 (12:58:56 pm, PT)

sold -1 Oct 30, 2015  $101 put at $0.35

Notes:

  • This is an "earnings play" (taking advantage of inflated premiums).  
  • I haven't traded AAPL in a long time, so I wanted to be cautious and sell just one contract.
  • AAPL was around $114.55 and the "expected move" was around $6.64 when my trade filled.
  • The strike price that I selected was twice the "expected move" (being cautious).
