sold -1 April 24, 2017  2285 put at $5.30

• credit received:  $530
• probability of success:  82.40%

Comment: The "implied volatility" was very high on 4/18.  That's why I was able to collect $5.30 for a one-week option with a 82.40% probability of expiring OTM.  That was pretty amazing.

So .... the next time you see opportunities like this, jump in and sell some OTM put options.

sold -2 April 24, 2017  2280 puts at $2.55

• credit received: $510
• probability of success: 90% (very, very high)

Comment: The put premiums were EXTREMELY high on 4/21 due to the elevated "implied volatility."  Normally, a ONE-DAY option with a 90% probability of expiring OTM would not be trading at $2.55!  It was amazing!

So ... the next time you see an opportunity like this, jump in and SELL some OTM put options!
