6/8 – 3:15 p.m. New York time

I entered two positions today, an earnings play on PAY and a time-decay position on NFLX. I exited SJM for a profit.

6/8 – 9:55 a.m. New York time

PAY has sufficiently implied volatility for trading as an earnings play. Although the options grid is not the easiest to work with, I shall post an analysis and perhaps enter a position today. I have exited SJM for a profit and shall update its analysis with results later today.

6/7 – 8:50 p.m. New York time

I have one prospective trade in sight for Thursday: PAY, an earnings play. Its options grid is somewhat marginal; I plan a full analysis to see if I can find a way to trade it.
