That’s a wrap for the week. The next options holding to expire is AMD, on Oct. 5. It stands at 28% of maximum potential profit.
I’ll post my discussion of economic reporting, The Week Ahead, on Saturday.
11:05 a.m. New York time
I’ve updated AAPL with results.
10:25 a.m. New York time
Well, that was fast. AAPL dropped below my $219.15 trigger, and I have exited for $3.92 per share, a very slight loss. I shall update the analysis with results shortly.
10:20 a.m. New York time
My options on AAPL expire on Friday a week from today. The position is slightly profitable. Very near term support is at $219.15. If the price falls below that level, then I exit immediately. If it stays above, then I shall exit on Monday.
Here is where my options positions stand this morning:
| sym | option debit | share price | curr % max profit | net profit/share $ | option days left |
| AAPL | 3.66 | 219.75 | 5.9 | 0.23 | 7 |
