Pfizer (PFE) is up more than 8% over the past week, boosted by news that the Food and Drug Administration has granted Fast Track designation to the mRNA-based combination vaccine candidate against COVID-19 and influenza it is developing with BioNTech (BNTX).
I am recommending we roll our put out one week and to a higher strike to generate more income and reduce our net debit on the position.
You can enter the second leg of today’s trade even if you were not in the previous one. Just be aware that we are likely moving on from the position before year-end, possibly with a modest loss.
Current Stock Price: $54.57
Net Debit: $2.82
