Our Microsoft (MSFT) bull put spread is well out of the money and on track to expire worthless. However, we’re going to play it safe and spend a penny to close the top leg.
We were deep underwater on the positions at one point. But by using an active rolling strategy, we are managing to walk away with a tiny profit.
