Our Expedia (EXPE) bull put spread is well out of the money. I am recommending we close it for a few cents. 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.
With Expedia expected to report earnings on Nov. 3, we will be sitting out the following week.
Current Stock Price: $93.48
Net Debit: $2.50 (The net debit was incorrectly listed as $2.47 in the previous alert.)
