01/07/2010 – ThetaOptions IRA Portfolio - IWM FEB Initiated

We’re moving our IWM JAN contracts to FEB. Cashing out the 64/65 vertical for profit & rolling the 63 short caller.  In addition, we’re opening a new short PUT in FEB.

Filled Order(s):

SOLD -1 DIAGONAL IWM 100 FEB 10/JAN 10 65/63 CALL @.03 credit

SOLD -1 VERTICAL IWM 100 JAN 10 64/65 CALL @.40 credit

SOLD -1 IWM 100 FEB 10 59 PUT @.70 credit

Position: We’re back to Delta Neutral with $2.6 Theta


Monthly Collection: After converting the DEC qtr diagonal into a vertical, we we’re able to book over $1 credit for the month of JAN. The PUT came down a few days ago, but we had to reposition our original JAN 61 caller to 63 & now we’ve roll it to FEB 65.
