$SHOP rollout

With the stock at 65.78, rolled 11/17 65 puts out to 12/15 65 puts @ 1.87 credit.
With rolls, this position still has an overall negative because of a debit roll I did on 10/5 with the stock around 52. It has now recaptured the strike, and I’m staying with it. Now negative overall 1.61.

Inflation flat in October

Inflation was flat in October from the previous month, providing a hopeful sign that stubbornly high prices are easing their grip on the U.S. economy.

The consumer price index, which measures a broad basket of commonly used goods and services, increased 3.2% from a year ago despite being unchanged for the month, according to seasonally adjusted numbers from the Labor Department on Tuesday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for respective readings of 0.1% and 3.3%.

Headline CPI had increased 0.4% in September.
