Daily Option Strategies http://www.dailyoptionstrategies.com following the stock market activities of Tom Denham Fri, 17 May 2013 21:22:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 17 May 2013 Trades http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dailyoptionstrategies/rruB/~3/203DJ503Lms/ http://www.dailyoptionstrategies.com/2013/05/17-may-2013-trades/#comments Fri, 17 May 2013 21:22:49 +0000 Tom Denham http://www.dailyoptionstrategies.com/?p=1891 I generated 2.54 percent of my portfolio value from trading May options. The sharp increase from recent months is related to the volume of shares I was put last month doing well with only a few exceptions.

Shares of AKS, MT, XME, and APA were called away over the past month. Shares of CVE, DVN, NOG, and TYC will be called away at the close today. I am still holding shares of  SID, STEC, NEM, and WLT. I am being put shares of GDX, GG, and SID from May puts that expired in-the-money.

Here is what I traded today:

Option sales:
USO May24-32Put $0.05
TLT May24-113Put $0.05
EWZ May24-52Put $0.07
WLT Jun12.50Put $0.10
MCP Jun4Put $0.04
FXI Jun33Put $0.05
