I am recommending we exit our KB Home (KBH) position by buying back our call and selling our shares. Our recovery strategy has allowed us to significantly reduce our potential loss, and I want to put this capital to better use elsewhere.
I am also recommending we roll our Western Digital (WDC) call out two weeks to generate more income.
