I am recommending we roll our Bank of America (BAC) put out two weeks and to a higher strike price to generate more income and reduce our net debit on the position.
You can enter the second leg of the BAC trade even if you were not in the previous one. Just be aware that we will be managing and tracking it based on the ongoing position.
Our Pfizer (PFE) put is in the money. Let’s roll it out two weeks and to a lower strike to reduce our risk on the trade.
