Sold 200 of my June 10s at 4.20 ( when bid on stock was 21 cents and ask was 22) to more than cover the margin requirements of buying 4,000 NEP at 39.9212 and 4,000 ETP at 18.4212, both in anticipation of upcoming distributions. I gave up a penny or two to raise some very profitable cash.
Profit on the NRE calls was 454% in a few days shy of 2 months (bought 2/27, my first batch of the Junes).
Also decided to roll some dice on CLNS not being able to do any worse than it already has. Bought 400 Dec 7s at an average of 33.2 cents. So my break even is 7.332 by December expiration. I'm hoping 2 and 3Q operating results brings the price back to over 9. If so, I make a nice profit on these calls. If not, I have a 13K loss to help offset NRE tax gains.
