Given the market’s continued sell-off today, I am recommending we roll our protective puts on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). This time, we will be rolling out one week as well as to lower strike prices.
This allows us to keep our hedges in place another week while taking some profits off the table. The profits we book will reduce our cost basis on the positions.
