Nike (NKE) has run up nearly 20% since we initiated our recovery LEAP call spread on renewed optimism in the retail sector.
I am recommending we roll the underlying call spread up to a higher strike and also roll our deep-in-the-money short call out to the December monthly expiration and to a much higher strike. Rolling both of legs will result in a modest net credit and put us in a better position to manage the spread going forward given NKE’s recent advance.
