We have a modest profit on our Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) protective puts.
I am recommending we roll them out one week and to lower strikes. This will allow us to pocket some cash while keeping our hedge in place, which could pay off handsomely if the market continues to sell off sharply over the next few days.
