The premium on our Netflix (NFLX) spread has fallen to around a dime. Let’s book profits now, earning a 3.8% return in nine days, or 154% annualized.
I am also recommending we book profits on our Visa (V) put. We’ll earn 0.3% in four days, or 26% annualized. While this is on the low side for us, we’ll be reducing our risk ahead of the long weekend and freeing up a lot of capital for new trades next week.
