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.

Friday, 4/21/2017 (12:58:06 pm, PT)

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!
