#ShortCalls #ReverseRoll – Moving my lowest strike Jan 2018 short calls over to the put side. The last time I did this I rolled to out of the money naked puts and we imploded and I was stuck with some underwater stock for months. This time rolling to higher put strikes but using spreads. If we implode now I’ll still get stock at a reasonable price…
Rolled SVXY JAN 19 2018 112.5 Calls to JAN 19 2018 105.0/95.0 Bull Put Spreads @ .12 credit.
Original sale of the calls brought in 3.07 so total premium now 3.19. With the ten wide spread no matter how far she tanks I can be in the stock at basis just a few dollars above wherever it ends up.
