Friday's Agenda: Brexit Shock

I don't normally post on the status of my positions until I've taken some sort of action, such as exiting or adding to the position or rolling it forward to a later expiration.

Given the market shock of the Brexit vote, however, I shall do a quick review of my positions this morning. With the U.K. leaving the European Union, do I need to leave any of my positions to avoid further loss?

I hold seven positions Here's how they're faring on the first day of the Brexit Era, about half an hour after the U.S. markets opened.

Volatility plays (options):

• EFA: Price $54.87, within the profit zone of $61-$52.
• FXE: $108.25, profit zone $112-$107
• GDXJ: $41.48, profit zone $33-$43
• TLT: $135.35, profit zone $128-$143

All remain with their profit zones are poised to continue to benefit from time decay as they approach expiration.

Dividend plays (shares)

• NRZ: $13.45, 5.5% above entry price
• STWD: $20.66, 5.1% above entry price

Zombie time spread (options):

• UNG: $7.98, which $1 above the yesterday's opening price. (The options have been unprofit for quite some time; that's why the position is a zombie, a long leg without a short leg.)

My positions have proven to be robust int he facd of the storm, and under present circumstances I plan to take no action today as a result of the vote for the U.K. to leave the EU
