Dividend Capture Strategy for easy cash flowDividend Capture strategy for easy cash flow on XOM Exxon Mobil pays .82 per share quarterly and the ex-dividend date is this Friday (2/8/2019) the dividend pay date is on 3/11/19. So yearly Will get $3.28 (.82x4)for a dividend yield of 4.4% not bad. But by selling the ATM Put for $1.02 I will increase the premium plus dividend paid for the year to $4.30 and increase the yield to 5.77%. That alone is an improvement of 31%. If I don't get assigned I get to keep the premium and make over $500 in a couple of days and if I do get assigned then I will sell some calls to keep reducing my basis and improve my yield even more. The Trade: XOM Sold 5 ATM Puts @ 74.5 for $1.02 4 days to expiration

XSP Options short, Long putI'm conscious of how price has behaved around the highlighted pivot zone. This could be a good spot for strong rejection. Momentum indicators are showing a loss of momentum on low time-frames, and we have failed to break resistance for a couple of days. Volume We are now seeing a pronounced drop of buy volume visible on the daily and hourly charts which could indicate trend exhaustion is possible. Time analysis: TD sequential on a green 7, unlikely to complete a full cycle, which could mean a slow and steady breakdown rather than a rapid selloff. This could mean Momentum: MACD histogram is negative. RSI is constantly posting lower highs, and lower lows overall sentiment on trend on lower timeframes is uncertain (previously bullish) and on longer timeframes remains bearish.

FIT Put PossibilitiesTRADE TIMELINE 12/10 - 12/14 12/08 - POSSIBLE OPTION PLAY heavy watch FIT 12/14 4.50 PUT dip buy 0.02 (0.04) IV 74.38% Volume 384 Open Interest 333 ----->"Throw a couple bucks at it" purely gamble play This optionable stock moves like dry grass wildfires.... Why this play? NOTE - Everything below the green diagonal boxed line is profit. MACD - This indicator is opening south after a prior rejection NEWS - Of course, sell the news, buy the rumors...and this case may be no less different, it will be a gamble play RSI - hovering but moving south, indicating to me that this stock is not done selling off EFI - Very stale movement, almost horizontal; not where this indicator wants to be EMA - These 10 and 20 day EMAs have been rejected in the past, hard! (Sept 19-21) This pattern from the past tells me that history will repeat itself, especially since FITBIT has been trying hard to stay relevent and has been unable to do so (technology, competition, other brands establishing their footing in this space). *Let's see what happens* DISCLAIMER - I am not a professional trader. These are merely my thoughts and possible moves; i enjoy watching these stocks validate my process or slap me across the face lol. If you are in need of professional assistance with your trades, don't look here. I am not that guy.

GE No Floor in SightTrade Timeframe - 12/10 - Jan 04 12/7 - POTENTIAL OPTIONS PLAY GE 01/04 $6.00 PUT dip buy $0.06 ($0.15) IV 71.58% Volume 99 Open Interest 202 Why? Regarding the dip buy - There is opportunity to get this option at a discount due to mid-day movement and slight optimism as we saw nov 28 - dec 3, but then the option fell back into profit PUT levels. Idea is to "set it and forget it" for the dip buy. $6.45 is the next realistic floor. News also is negative in general. MACD - Already crested north in the last several days, and is now on the verge to move south EFI - Momentum has shifted dramatically, and its movement is turning south, showing pessimism RSI - Although this is an oversold stock, there is nothing in the near future to hold up the RSI EMA - There is nothing that shows a reversal, and resulting Volume is consistently in "Sell" mode *Let's see what happens!* *DISCLAIMER* - I am not a professional trader or stock broker. These are merely my thoughts typed out. If you need professional help with your trades, look elsewhere, not here. Good luck and happy trading.
