Update on recent trading strategies for $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ and $Direxion Daily 20 Year Plus Treasury Bull 3x Shares(TMF)$ For the background on my trading opinions on TLT and TMF, please refer to the three previous articles:Is Selling Puts on TLT the Best Strategy Right Now?Why do I sell TMF calls, not TLT？Reviewing Options Trading on U.S. Treasury ETFsI began selling puts on TLT in early November. In December, I added selling calls on TMF. At that time, the trading logic was

Tomorrow the deal is close, tonight the iv crash, all the sell put has been successfully landed, this year two super mergers and acquisitions have been unexpectedly completed.

Let's review the overall market and the trading opportunities in the stocks I've been monitoring. The interest rate decision lands, and it's as hawkish as expected, which is also in line with common sense. Anyone claiming it's unexpected must have their own problems. The 'higher for longer' stance was set as early as last year, why didn't they believe it?This basically confirms that there will be another interest rate hike in November this year, and it's time to start pricing it in. The current market adjustment also aligns with historical patterns seen in September. For those who are unsure or confused about the market's direction, I sincerely recommend keeping most of your funds in Tiger Vault for now.Another currently focused event is the government shutdown. Personally, I don't think t

$苹果(AAPL)$ I don’t want to talk about the new products. Let’s move to how to trade. I sold puts at the strike price of $160 last night. That means I would like to buy the shares at $160.Why is $160？We can see from the chart below. There is a gap at $165-170, which need to make up. The MA200-day line is around $164, and the MA50-week line is around $162. So I chose the price of $160.It is worth mentioning that the 200-day line and 50-week line did not act supports in history. However, I personally still have confidence in Apple's solid moat, I am willing to buy the shares at this price.Although Apple have fallen a lot in the past few days, it has dropped 13% from its highs. But the stock price still rise as high as 35% year-to-date. In March, there

$动视暴雪(ATVI)$ Sell puts at the strike price of $85, expiring Sep.15.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ I saw some investors buy in TSLA or Sell its puts last week, I plan to start sell its puts this week. TSLA has fallen below the 20-day moving average, and it may continue to pull back in the short term. At the same time, some bearish voices came last week. I plan to do sell puts at the strike price of $225 and $200.I think TSLA has a high probability of callback to the 50-day moving average, that is, the position of $235. However, the 50-day line has never been a strong support. So, we probably look down to the position of $205. This position is a double bottom last May, and it is also a relatively large resistance in February and March. This position is much stronger and safer. At present, the put premium of the strike price

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ will release its results tomorrow after market close. Gross profit margin is the main concern.In Q1,Tesla’s gross margin fell below 20% for the first time, reaching only 19.3%. That caused the stock price to plummet by 10% on the day after the report. There is also a price cut in Q2, so the analysts expect a gross profit of 18.7% in Q2.I have some options views. The current main entanglement price is the $300. The option data shows that TSLA may touch $300. As for whether it arrives before or after the report? I don't know. A large number of sell calls showed, however, indicating that many profit-seekers intend to take profits, which may result in the stock price falling back since the profits will be exhausted.The Put/Call Ra

On the same day that the Microsoft and Blizzard merger was approved by the US court, the acquisition of $Broadcom(AVGO)$ and $VMware(VMW)$ obtained approval from the European Union. When the news came out, VMW's stock price jumped more than 5% to over $156.The certainty of Broadcom's acquisition of VMW has always been higher, because VMW's major shareholder is Dell, which has sought to sell its best asset - VMW in several times to mitigate the losses in its core business. Furthermore, there have been management and board member adjustments at VMW since last winter, which means that although the acquisition has not been officially finalized, Broadcom's integration has already begun.Therefore, the acquisitio

Last January, Microsoft plan to acquire $动视暴雪(ATVI)$ . Since then, I have been gradually engaging in options trading for Blizzard. The acquisition price was $95. My main strategy was to sell put options. Due to market downturn and various policy obstacles in the US and Europe, Blizzard's stock price once dropped to around $70.My sold put options were exercised, and I took over the underlying stock, which resulted in some losses for a while. Eventually, I managed to profit by selling covered call options on the stock when its price reached $80 and $85.Yesterday, I reviewed my profit from ATVI, which consisted of the options and the stock. The total amount was approximately $100,000. Although Blizzard wasn't the most profitable stock in my positions
