I am recommending we roll our Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) puts out one week to generate more income and reduce our net debits on the positions.
You can enter today’s trades even if you were not in the previous ones. Just be aware that we will be managing and tracking them based on the ongoing positions.
