Have you considered a credit call vertical? If not, why?

UNG
For covered call selling (aka PMI) lovers: UNG offers 5% a month on at-the-money calls. Be careful though, it can move fast. For those who is new to nat gas: storage is like 40% above 5-year average, but production is falling and demand is EXPECTED (translation: it is speculation) to rise. Hence high implied volatility, reflected in the high option premium. 0834 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are extending last week's bounce off technical support, backed by LNG feedgas demand and prospects of more power-sector use as Texas weather heats up. "If LNG can edge higher, a boost from laggard Henry Hub physical pricing may reinforce upward momentum for Nymex gas," Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics says in a note. Also supportive is the decline in natural gas rigs, which fell by 3 last week to 102, according to Baker Hughes. "Producers have shed 19 rigs in 11 weeks, and the trend is likely to continue," Rubin says. Natural gas for June delivery is up 1.9% at $2.183/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com) P.S. I have a large position in NatGas and am losing big $ today on the three-day runup 😪. I have been biased short thinking the spike last week was a short covering and will exhaust itself.

@Monica Bernard The plan is to keep rolling calls and eventually let all shares taken out. I have covered calls and put credit spreads :) $16 is not out of reach.

Hit $14.6 target. Should make a pullback and attack $16.

@Kevin Esmati 100 agree. That's why I did calendars on AMZN and not verticals an gave myself some time till expiration. Less reward but also less risk.

@Kevin Esmati My thinking is you're playing NVDA in a similar fashion that you did AMZN. You are basically buying an OTM call that is kinda "all or nothing" bet. You reduce your cost making a vertical. With AMD you are diagonalizing it bring in features of the calendar. It gives you flexibility (at a cost, whether monetary or in management the trade). A calendar and a fly (fly is more so, but in a different way) reduce the risk in exchange of reducing profit potential.

Bonds
Eugene got me really interested in TLT option spreads today, namely, LEAPs and call Verticals. TLT is an ETF of long maturity (20+ year) bonds. Do you know of short-term bond ETFS offering similar trades? I know SHY, IEF, IEI. Anything else someone can recommend looking at?

Bonds keep falling and came all the way down to the origin on the move. We saw a reaction here but that was it so far. Need to wait and see how this consolidation resolves.

Been about three weeks. Bears are still in control, but bulls are fighting for every inch.
