Saturday's Outcomes

Two of my positions expired out of the money on Saturday, for maximum profit. Both were volatility plays timed to coincide with earnings announcements. I've updated the analyses -- IBM and SLB -- with results.

My Outcomes post a week ago, which can be read here, as well as the original analysis and an update incorrectly identified the SLB expiration as Jan. 24. It was Jan. 31, and I have corrected the error throughout.
