remain near their all time highs. Here are
two articles about what is happening in China that is driving the Shang Hai

Here are my Option (CALL or PUT) Sells/Buys for This Week:
Option: Sell to Open Covered CALL
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 4/27/2015
Expiration Date: 5/15/2015
Strike Price: $14
Option Price: $0.23
This UVXY was PUT to me at $13 on April 10,
2015 from a PUT that I sold on April 9 for $.26. If I get called out at $14, I will have earned
$1.00 from the PUT/CALL strike price difference and $0.23 + $0.26=$0.49 from
the two option premiums. This is an 11%
return on these UVXY shares from April 9 to May 15. If it does not get CALLed, I have still
earned my $0.49 in option premiums for a return of 4%.
Option: Sell to Open Covered CALL
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 4/27/2015
Expiration Date: 6/19/2015
Strike Price: $17
Option Price: $0.60
This UVXY was PUT to me at $17 on March 20,
2015 from a PUT that I sold on March 18 for $.75. If I get called out at $17, I will have
earned $0.75 + $0.60=$1.35 from the two option premiums. This is an 8% return on these UVXY shares
from March 18 to June 19. If it does not
get CALLed, I have still earned my $1.35 in option premiums.
Option: Sell to Open Covered CALL
Stock Symbol: USO
Sell to Open Date: 4/30/2015
Expiration Date: 6/19/2015
Strike Price: $22
Option Price: $0.40
This USO was PUT to me at $20 on January 9,
2015 from a PUT that I sold on January 2 for $.50. If I get called out at $22, I will have
earned $2.00 from the PUT/CALL strike price difference and $0.50 + $0.40=$0.90
from the two option premiums. This is a
15% return on these USO shares from January 2 to June 19. If it does not get CALLed, I have still
earned my $0.90 in option premiums for a return of 5%.

Option: Sell to Open Cash Secured PUT
Stock Symbol: UCO
Sell to Open Date: 4/27/2015

As oil goes up, UCO is bouncing up and I like
the premium for this $9 PUT. So when UCO
dipped back down to $9 last Monday, I was able to sell this PUT at a 5% premium
for 3 weeks out.
Option: Buy to Close Cash Secured PUT
