I am recommending we roll our Roku (ROKU) and The Trade Desk (TTD) puts out two weeks and to lower strikes.
ROKU has been holding up better than some other volatile stocks recently and is bucking the broader market decline today due to the announcement of an exclusive e-commerce deal with Walmart (WMT).
We can lower our put strike while still generating income to reduce our net debit, so that’s what we’re going to do. Our protective put is on track to expire worthless.
Our TTD protective put remains in place.
Note that the bid/ask spreads for these trades are wide, so work your limit orders.
