The 9 AEO $16 PUT contracts I sold on Tuesday expire at end of trading day. The run up in the stock price has been phenomenal and IMO not a good evaluation of the stock. I believe the short sellers will drive the stock price back down. [16:35 the push to short selling did not happen today.]
Pay attention to my orders on Monday.
It is important to understand the difference between realized and unrealized capital gain/loss. The gain or loss is only realized when the underlying asset is sold. In the case of a capital loss, most or all can be washed out if asset is repurchased at a price lower than the original cost basis.
The 9 AEO $13 PUT contracts expired without being exercised. This means the $720 collected in premiums is 100% profit.
