Portfolio positioning as of the Friday close
-
I haven’t figured out my latest allocation percentages, but here’s what I’m holding:
SEP’12 600/615 bull put spreads (originally bears, legged into bulls)
SEP’12 625/630 bull put spreads (ditto)APR’13 650/700 bull call spreads
APR’13 680/700 bull call spreads
APR’13 690/700 bull call spreads
(different accounts ^^^)JAN’14 700/750 bull call spreads
With all these, who’s doing your taxes? Can you recommend anyone in Canada?
Since we’re American expats, KPMG does our taxes while we’re in Canada.

I bought 4 april 1000 on friday for the hack of it, and bought oct 800s earlier in addition to my 2014 leaps close to money..
I am hopIng to catch once a crazy 300 point run with these wild out of the moneys with expiration in the next 3-6 months for a 25 bagger if possible.
I dont see this as too much to fast, but stock went up much higher than revenues did this year. Lets see if we can keep the new PE long term. Who nows with dividend increase, stock will have support.LOL! You reminded me that last Spring, I legged into some JAN’13 800/850 bull call spreads (cost basis: 0.00). Still have those.

Friday I bought 100 Week5 $660/$665 Bull Call Spreads at $2.70. The remainder of my portfolio is cash.
If AAPL jumps $10 Monday my Spreads will be worth about $3.50. If AAPL holds through Tuesday I’ll Close the position Wednesday and invest the cash into a Spread $7.00 - $10.00 below AAPL’s then trading price. If this all works as I think it will, I’ll profit about $40,000 for the week.

100% cash. I Closed the Sept Week 1 $655/$665 Call Spreads Friday late afternoon (up 25 cents). After watching AAPL’s activity all day Friday I decided to wait until Tuesday for either a lower Spread, or lower cost. If AAPL dips at all (from Friday’s Close) I’ll probably go with a lower Strike and more capital.
