I am recommending we roll our Starbucks (SBUX) put out two weeks to bring in more income and reduce our net debit.
Our Williams-Sonoma (WSM) shares are on track to be called away after a sharp move higher. Of course, this came after a sharp drop that prompted us to roll our call strike down 10 points.
Being called out at $105 instead of $115 falls somewhere between frustrating and infuriating. But as I always preach, there is no such thing as a foregone profit.
Considering we are exiting with a profit on a position that was well underwater at one point, I consider this a win.
