12\/28 AAPL<\/p>\n

We are closing down the AAPL in front of the next couple potential lucrative days.\u00c2\u00a0 AAPL may run higher but after the implied volatility spike that we saw this past Monday we want to get out to reduce the risk to the downside.\u00c2\u00a0 Volatility went from 23.5 on Friday to over 32 on Monday with a major buyer coming in to purchase the 320 -300 put spread.\u00c2\u00a0 This has hurt our marks, but we still have a profit and don’t want it to get away from us.\u00c2\u00a0 We can lock in the 310-300 put spread for $2.06 after selling it for $2.5.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a $0.46 profit on the puts. Total profit on this position is $0.85 cents in 13 days. This is a 27% return on risk.\u00c2\u00a0 If the stock stays up here with implied volatilities remaining high, then we may re enter the iron condor trade as a package.<\/p>\n

12\/20 The stock has fallen in a couple of days to 318.23 this morning and our short call spread has decreased so we can buy it back for a small profit of $0.41.\u00c2\u00a0 The stock should rally back above $320 for testing so we are going to lock this small profit in and hope to get the put spread back when the stock retests the highs.<\/p>\n
