XSP rolls 3/6/26 – New Trick!

#FuzzyLEAPs Learned a new trick. Second day in a row I allowed deep ITM puts expire, then sold next day’s right after the closing bell, giving me much higher premium than was available had I rolled during market hours. ***Even at the highs of the day, this kind of credit on rolls was not possible.***

$XSP closed at 674.00
Mar 6th 693 puts, 19.00 debit for expiring. Sold Mar 9th 693 puts for 19.70
Mar 6th 695 put, 21.00 debit for expiring. Sold Mar 9th 695 put for 21.75

This is pretty good news for these deep ITM options. I wonder if it still will work if we get 40 or 50 bucks ITM.

VIX Thoughts

Interesting times. We are in a little bit of VIX backwardation but not as deep and steep as it was back during the liberation day tariff scare. It’s nice to know that even with mild backwardation DITM SPX puts are still very rollable. We are in a sweet spot right now!!
