#shortputs #coveredcallcampaign #assignment CRUS

I was assigned CRUS through the exercise of a short 45 put. This started as a put spread that went bad, sold the long and rolled the short to June 15, giving me a basis of 40.15, not bad if CRUS stabilizes, on to selling calls. CELG discussion below noted.

My timing was impeccable as CRUS illogically is now at 38.75. I rolled the short 45 to June for a credit of 1.08, sold the April 40 long put for 2.35, staying naked on the June 45 short put. Of course, if CRUS was a buy at 45….
