Rolling (IRA): QQQ August 26th 316 Short Put to October 300... for a 1.08 credit. Comments: (Late Post). Been rolling this for a while. Total credits collected of 9.38 (See Post Below) plus the 1.08 here for a total of 10.46. I would rather stay in an options contract versus taking on stock, since you can strike improve an option. Another lesson here is that you'll find it easier to roll for more substantial strike improvement if your option is less monied. Consequently, I took the opportunity to roll here with QQQ price whipping up (at one point in Friday's session) -- to 316.39. Naturally, this doesn't mean that the 300 will expire worthless or otherwise be profitable; it does mean, however, that my cost basis will be lower than it was with the strike at the 316.

Rolling (IRA): QQQ July 1st 301 to August 19th 292... for a 2.93 credit. Comments: Rolling down and out to the August monthly, as the August 5th contract didn't seem all that liquid. Total credits collected of 6.50 (See Post Below) plus the 2.93 here for a total of 9.43. I'll generally keep on doing this (down and out) with any of my monied rungs until I can't get decent (a relative term) strike improvement, along with a decent credit, at which point I'll just take assignment and proceed to sell call against. (See, e.g., my QQQ June 24th 321 short put, which I couldn't strike improve to my satisfaction without going out hugely long-dated).

Rolling: IWM July 22nd 167.5/172 to August 5th 158/187.5... for a 6.04 debit. Comments: Rolling out and paying a debit here that is smaller than total credits collected to reduce buying power effect. Up to this point, I'd collected a total of 8.39 in credits, so I'm still net credit on the setup by 2.35, but it's currently marking at 4.57 or so, so I'm down 2.22 on the position at this point. The setup, however, is now "delta/theta happy" at -4.03/12.39 and isn't being such a buying power pig.

$VET nice VCP with bullish sweepsNice technical set up and bullish PUT sweeps at the bid to support, interesting one trader opened 12/16 22.5 puts for about 310K in premium.... stock is trading at 21.95 implying strong upside move . For the more conservative, can wait for pennant / triangle breakout to go long / short, depending on direction. My bias is to the upside and am long here with a stop being close outside of triangle with confirmation. Almost forgot, that MACD is looking juicy as well : )
