Yesterday in the Blog I talked about a Live GOOG Pre-Earnings Calendar I did. Today I took off the trade for about a 7% profit in 1 Day. I bought   1 April 28 Expiration 835 Call and Sold 1 April 21 Expiration 835 Call for $10.80 Debit and sold it out today for a Credit of $11.54 The price of GOOG was 834 yesterday when I bought the Calendar and the price of GOOG today was 835 when I took off the Calendar for a profit. I made $74 for every 1 Calendar, that would be a yield of 6.8% ( $74 divided by $1080). Why did the Calendar do so well in 1 Day? The implied Volatility of the long option went up more than the short option did. What would be an explanation of why that happened? Referring to yesterday’s Blog, we originally bought an expiration that will be affected by Earnings and sold an expiration that would be expiring before earnings comes out. Therefore as each day passes, our long options may increase in Volatility while our short options may do nothing. Dan Sheridan dan@sheridanmentoring.com
