Not much today, there were no premiums on options to be had. The market makers made sure we little people couldn't take advantage of it before Ex-Div.

daily/weekly chart also.



There is a hook on the daily stochastics. No guarantee, but recent history has a follow through after the hooks.

Had 800 shares on the Thursday close. "They" clipped 400 shares to steal my dividends; the 47 and 49 calls. They left me the 50s and of course the 52.5s. So, 400 shares on Fridays open. I guess I am lucky to retain the 200 shares because of the 50s.



It was a nothing price action day. Sold my put spread, and rolled the 52.5 calls. They will call 200 shares because of the 50 calls; that is okay, I do not want them, got the dividends. 200 shares on the Monday open. If the bull of NEM continues, we will see a challenge of my 52.5s. If so, I will just BuyWrite 200 shares higher.

Okay , the 200 got called. Left with 200 and the 52.5 calls and 60 puts.



NEM just went lower all day. No problem, a 3 pt spread with price and the call strike. I will watch for any trend change and trade against 52.5.

No action taken today. (Tuesday)

No action by me today.



New weekly options series opens Thursday. Still have room up to 52.5. NEM looks like it started a new 15 min up trend except the Schaff has fallen from the top, but still have HHs and HLs.

chart: as long as L1 holds the trend up continues as per the weekly stochastics

Range bound today. There was follow through with the Schaff and then a weak bounce into the S&R line I drew last week. Friday, I will roll my 52.5 calls forward another week.

I rolled the 52.5 calls forward with a calender spread.

no action Monday, watching the 52.5 mark
