Flipped a $280 strike straddle in FDS on Friday from $5.60 to $6.85, watched it hit $9.00 in last 5mins on the opex close. Too risky to hang out for that, could have easily candled down just the same. Also flipped a bunch of short puts in INFY for some quick cash on what I refer to as a "vol golden goose", which is when a stock rips higher sending IV across the board higher resulting in the opportunity to sell otm puts for more $ than when stock was trading closer to the put strikes. Made some good cash on that one.
I also scratched out of my CGC and ACB positions for some miniscule gains. The real kicker is that I contemplated loading up on weekly puts going into the Trump announcement on last Thursday. The stock and options vol were massively bid up into that event and I expected the air to deflate once the announcement was made, but since I already had relatively large positions on in CGC and ACB, I didn't want to get more loaded up so I held off. Kind of frustrating, but had I bought them, I'm sure the trade would have gone against since that's how the Universe works.
I also peeled off my Jan $2 puts in BYND for +15%, kind of weak considering they were up +50% a couple weeks ago but I decided to "let my winners ride". Classic. I'll get back in on BYND after they announce a reverse split, as I expect lots of dilution following that maneuver.
