My Options Account on August 22, 2013

Today was an interesting day.  The Nasdaq halted for 3 hours.  I'm not really sure what happened there.  The overall market was up and my account was pretty steady and finished up $87.  That's a three day winning streak.

HLF was down again by 0.26 to 63.49.  My positions were up $114 on the day and my 62.5/61 put credits are looking good.  I would love it if the stock can break this streak of starting up and finishing down.  I have 2 65/64 put credit spreads and one 62.5/64 call debit spreads so I really hope the stock can move above 64 tomorrow. 

Apple was up .64 for a $52.50 gain.  The stock is at 503 and I need it to stay between 495 and 510.

Google was up 4.38 to 873.71 so I am looking great on my 860-890 position.  Options were up $62.50 today.

MA was down 2.05 to 617.26 and I'm looking good on my 610/605 put credit spread going into tomorrow.  I was up $40 in my options today.

PCLN was up 11.54 to 951.74 and I need the stock to stay between 935 and 955 tomorrow.  I lost $58 on my options today.

TSLA was up 9.14 to 157 so looks like I'll take a full loss on my 148/150 call spreads.  I guess I'm glad I took such a big risk on this stock because if I would have put on a call spread at a higher strike I most likely would have lost more.  Its a small position so I'm okay with it.

I also have a very small position in SPY.  The option value is currently at 166.10 and I need it to stay between 164.50 and 166.

Expiration Friday is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to completing this successful week.
