Weekly: Trading flurry

More internet connection woes for me so no trading early in the week. I do a flurry of put selling early Thursday morning. Many of those stocks falter, so I sell calls to hedge in the afternoon. By the end of the day I am in the red on both sides on some. No bueno. New longs in BA, PYPL, WFC.

Here are the trades (c = calls, p = puts, all are third week expiration unless noted, sell means sell-to-open, cover means buy-to-close, number is price per contract):
