I am recommending we roll our Marvell Technology Group (MRVL), Peloton Interactive (PTON) and Target (TGT) puts.
MRVL is selling off today after the company announced it is acquiring data center component chipmaker Inphi (IPHI) for $10 billion. We are rolling out one week to generate some cash and buy time for the stock to rebound.
Note that PTON is expected to announce earnings one day before the new put expires. I plan to close the position before then. If it is not profitable, we will continue the position once the earnings dust settles, carrying over the net debit.
Our TGT put is deep in the money, but I want to roll for more income rather than accept shares. I expect the stock to resume its uptrend sooner rather than later.
