$SVXY #ShortPuts #IRA – echoing Jeff’s concerns about this being a head fake rally I’m rolling more of my ITM and near ITM puts with big gains in them.
Bought to close SVXY Aug 25 2017 79.0 Puts/Sold SVXY Sep 15 2017 69.0 Puts @ 0.20 Credit – a 10 point improvement.
Originally sold at 10.32 on another rolldown
$SVXY #ShortPuts #Rolldown – after…
$SVXY #ShortPuts #Rolldown – after a double dip below 70 last week I’m rolling down my highest strike puts for this week.
Bought to close SVXY Aug 25 2017 79.0 Puts/Sold SVXY Sep 15 2017 74.0 Puts @ 1.10 Credit.
With the extra income from the roll I’ve lowered my breakeven 6 points.
These 79’s were rolled down from Aug 11 81’s on 8/11 for a credit and were sold at 7.37.
So far, rolling SVXY puts is working because of the big forward premium.
