#shortputs
A quick question.
I have puts on MCD ITM – Mar 16 $155 originally sold for 0.83
Is it a good time to roll out, or out and down?
Thanks.
#shortputs #coveredcalls T
sold April 20, 35 put for .63. I also have a Tradewise advised March, 39 covered call that I expect will be rolled any day now. stock price is 36.63
Not sure about you guys (gals) but overall I’m fairly happy where most of my positions stand even though account is red today. Fairly big batch of weeklies rolling off the next two weeks. Definitely not getting rewarded for those today. I think the losses today can be attributed more to volatility expansion instead of adverse movement in the stock in a lot of cases.

Yesterday, sold $OLED Feb 23rd 140 puts for 2.15 and 2.25. In what was clearly an error by the trading Gods, the stock went down rather than up. So I’m rolling into a tight strangle because I know exactly where this stock will be on March 16th.
