01/29/2010 – ThetaOptions IRA Portfolio – Intel APR Long Calls
The IRA is going to attempt to take advantage of this sell off & roll the APR long calls now. Hopefully we see a rebound in the stock so we can sell some Callers next week.
Filled Order:
BOT +2 VERTICAL INTC 100 APR 10 20/21 CALL @.34 debit
Position: Our delta is getting a little bit too high & our Theta value is NEGATIVE….that’s not good. We need to sell some callers soon.

Trade Adjustment: 01/05/2010
We hate to perform this type of trade adjustment with INTC trading at $21, but we don’t want to see our JAN/APR Diagonal profit disappear. Therefore, we’re selling (2) FEB 20 PUTs naked & using the money to lift the JAN 20 call up to 21 with the intention of rolling it next week
Filled Order:
SOLD -2 INTC 100 FEB 10 20 PUT @.50
BOT +2 VERTICAL INTC 100 JAN 10 20/21 CALL @.62
Delta Change: Our trade went from -50 delta to +70 delta
