Our KB Home (KBH) call expired worthless last week. I am recommending a new call to sell against our uncovered shares to reduce our cost basis on the position.
If you do not currently own shares of KBH and want to enter this position, you must first buy 100 shares for every call you plan to sell to make sure your position is covered. And note that we will be tracking and managing this as an ongoing position.
Our Lululemon Athletica (LULU) and Peloton Interactive (PTON) put spreads also expired worthless on Friday. I am recommending we initiate new spreads today to reduce our net debits on those positions.
You can enter today’s spreads even if you were not in the previous trades. Just be aware that we will be tracking them as ongoing positions.
If you are new to spread trading, please watch my Bull Put Spread Coaching Session before entering the trades.
