ALTB – NKE 2 Part Earnings Trade Closed at $2490 profit
This worked out great. NKE gapped up a bit more than expected but the IV stayed strong and we walked with a nice overall profit.
ALTB – Open NKE 2 Part Earnings Trade
OpenATA – Closed NKE Bull Call Diagonal – FEB17/MAR3 56/56.5
A solid trade with NKE ending up right in the range we wanted. Over the last few days, the theta erosion has been strongly in our favor giving us extra profits as we come into the expiration.
ATA – Open NKE Bull Call Diagonal – FEB17/MAR3 56/56.5
NKE has been in a steady but relatively slow trend up for the last few months. I expect this to continue for the next few weeks, but I am concerned we may have a bit of a pullback.
This trade is designed to make money from the slow progression towards the 56 strike and at the same time limit our losses if NKE suddenly pulls back.
ATA – Open NKE Bull Put Spread – FEB3 50/51.50
NKE has hit its bottom and is now heading back up. This is a strong company that took a price hit over the last several months. Room to go up further and we will take advantage of that with a Bull Put Spread.
