Our Expedia (EXPE) bull put spread is well out of the money. I am recommending we close the top leg for a few cents and watch the bottom leg expire worthless. This will allow us to enter a new spread to generate more income and reduce our net debit on the position.
You can enter today’s trade even if you were not in the previous one. Just be aware that we will be managing and tracking it based on the ongoing position.
If you are new to spread trading, please watch my Bull Put Spread Coaching before entering the trade.
