LABU Put roll

Since this went slightly in the money late in the day I’m rolling it down to go with the 56 put I rolled this morning.

Bought to Close LABU Jul 30 2021 55.0 Diagonal at $0.68. Sold this on 7/22 at $1.22 on a rolldown.

Bought to close TNA Jul 30 2021 Diagonal 86.0 Put at $0.41. Sold this last week on a rolldown at $4.46

Replaced it with a TNA Aug 06 2021 77.0 Put at $0.71, or a $0.30 Credit with the new strike 9 points lower.
