Sometimes a VIX spike in a down move will increase premiums even on out of the money calls. Just to confuse Mr. Market throwing this starter position out there just inside the expected move.

#FuzzyLEAPs. Well, here we are again at the start of a possible pullback, and yet again I’m stuck with my pants down. It was probably a mistake to not heed the CPI data release. I had figured before that I may want to let positions expire and not roll them before data releases, especially now when inflation & interest rates are more likely to be bad news than good. That would give me the chance to see how the market plays out and place a much lower strike if necessary. But I didn’t take that action.
My second mistake was not rolling at or soon after the open, in hopes we might just recover from the premarket dip. I had ample opportunity for a decent roll of 778 and a roll-down of 780 puts. But that’s now firmly gone and I’m faced with another period of stagnation with this strategy.
I just can’t crack it.
