Looking to offer some flies this morning with shares around 634-635:
Current Positions:
-Oct 615/635/655 at 8.40 (in at 6.20)
-Oct 620/640/660 at 8.30 (in at 6.90)
Going to hold onto the Dec 540/640/740 fly through earnings.
I'm out of the calendars as well. 05/30/55 fly now at 11.00 mid (in at 8.75). Neutral to around 632.50 on aggregate positions. I like that condor also.
mREITS have been crushed lately due to QE3 and increased prepayment risk. Would it be advisable to sell any positions in these stocks right here, or hold for a bounce?
Updates:
AAPL Oct 605/630/655 Fly at 10.70 (in at 8.75). Looking to offer it soon.
Also in the Oct/Nov 640 Calendar, and the 615/635/655 fly (from 16.00 and 6.20 respectively).
Gotcha. Haircut isn't that big on the R/R though. I guess you could always sell calls and then hedge with SPY puts instead.
The Oct contract definitely caught a bid today. Realized vol has been so low lately, I think turned out to be around 8% or so this week. So I suppose there is risk...
