#FallingKnife

Sold (technically bought) a Feb. 15 39/40/40/42 call butterfly for .35. This is profitable if WDC goes down. WDC hasn’t been kind to #fallingknife traders as it was a little over 100 almost a year ago, now about 40. I have 100 assigned shares at a cost basis of 68, and have a short April 55 put that has been rolled a couple times. The call butterfly will ease the pain a little if it goes down.
Thanks for the info Jeff.

A couple of falling knives today
$KORS-Versace deal ultimately good for the company IMO. Sold Jan 18 55 puts @ 1.10. Strike below 2018 lows in Jun and Feb. Delta 14.
$NWL-Sold Jan 18 18 puts @ .73. If the strike is reached it would be a 6 year low for the stock. I would take assignment there for what would be an almost 5% dividend yield. Delta 25.

Short puts are sold here very often. Here is a 7 minute market measure on managing at 25%/50%/21 days and expiration with doing something at 21 days being the winner. Doesn’t help with the 4 days to expiration puts on DUST though.
