Hi Guys,
I posted the wrong ticker for my AAPL options in my extra options account this morning.
It should be this: .AAPL Aug 6 Call Spread (Bought 143/Sold 150)
I bought the Aug 6 expiration. I had the wrong expiration listed initially. Thank you to those who pointed it out to me! If you bought the July 30 expiration already, that's totally ok in my book -- it's just that it would be a different price point what I paid (lower than what I paid). I would be using the same profit target whether I got the July 30 or Aug 6 expiration by the way.
Notice also that I show that I'm closing it by Aug 5, the day before expiration. That is not an error. That's on purpose. That's because there is an ex-dividend date on Aug 6 and I don't want to own the position through that date. So I'm closing it a day early if it hasn't hit its profit target by then.
I also bought HUM stock and AAPL stock this morning. Both had just reported earnings, and so both might be a wild ride today.
The Fed meeting notes are scheduled to be released today. I believe that's happening around 1pm EST. There might be some market movement when that happens.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
