Pending NUGT roll
I know I’m probably getting a little too cute here but I still have a 95 call for today’s expiration that I was planning to roll. But I’m watching NUGT and the gold futures to see if there’s a shot this thing gets under my break even (around 97) before the end of the day. It’s been falling like a rock. I guess I’m not too concerned since this rolls so easily and I can probably get a nice credit for a 1 week roll with an additional 10-15 points on the strike. Watching…
