Currently I hold the following positions in the short options portfolio:
LHM P66 / C80
LHQ P64 / C84
Longterm trades.
LCQ P106 / C140
LCV P100 / C136
There were (and still are) good entry points because of the high volatility after the recent strong move upwards. In my opinion, the highs are in, and LC prices will move more or less sidewards. But there will be strong moves upwards and downwards.
CCU P1700
Intend to take profit at 50 %. (Took profit on the CCU P1600 at 50 %)
CTZ C90
Intend to take profit at 50 %. Good marketings, but very large new corp not only from the US.
NGU P2.6 / C4.25
NGU P2.6 / C4.5
NGV P2.55 / C4.5
I have a lot of confidence that NG will move more or less sidewards for some weeks. Took profit on part of the NG positions.
I added some similar positions in my stocks account, as described earlier in this thread. Here I hold covered short puts, as I hold my stocks in an Interactive Brokers account, and margin is very high for naked puts. They also introduced a special daily fee for accounts with what they consider to be a high risk.
Be aware that my exit strategy is different than Ron's. I intend to buy back my short ES puts in case of a drawdown, whereas Ron will hold them.
And: My position in the diversified account is a small one - regular position size is 3 % of account size. (In the stocks account the position is even smaller.)
