$LB ShortPuts #FallingKnife – today…
$LB ShortPuts #FallingKnife – today I covered a short May 50.0 Put at a point that I originally sold for 1.20.
Despite the fact that it is out of the money 2 points with 3 weeks to go, in early April the stock collapsed to 43.04 before gaining it all back recently.
I decided I don’t need added the risk on this name because I am still short Aug 45 and 42.5 Puts and Nov 32.5 Puts that are nicely profitable.
One of my unwritten rules is if a Put that I sold for 1.20 gets up to 7 or 8 dollars and then gives me a chance to get out ahead, I take it, and don’t look back.
I would have taken the stock if it had stayed down. The current move shows why that would have worked too.

# falling knife. I was…
- falling knife. I was hoping TSO would rebound off the 77-78 level. However it is starting to look like a falling knife trade. I have my cost basis down below 82 and have sold and 83 call. If it rebounds I will have a good profit. If it continues to drop I will collar it by adding some long-term puts. If anybody else is following this trade, it tends to rebound hard when it finds a bottom. I have seen it run 77-90 in the course of a week. If I were taking this trade now, I would probably buy stock and then sell a call credit spread at the money so you could have some unlimited upside.
