$DUST #ShortPuts #RollOut – I am making this move earlier than normal on expiration week because I have multiple put positions coming due on this stock.
Bought to close DUST Mar 17 2017 41.0 Puts /Sold DUST Apr 7 2017 37.5 Puts @ 0.25 Credit with the stock at 38.05.
Took a big fat gain on the 41 put position as it was sold on an earlier rolldown.
This new position is out of the money.
edit: seems I was a bit early again ….
