good question. these trades are part of a larger piece. when/if the aug expires the long sep is free. then a new calendar is rolled into for a...
reversed, taken flat, shutdown. thanks.
sorry, sp pit options.
I took a different approach today. sold the aug 1190 put and bot the sep 1140 put for .3 credit. the trade cost no money on 4k of margin. I...
agreed it is attractive in the last week, thanks for the numbers.
