Peloton Interactive (POTN) is up almost 9% since we sold a put on the stock less than 24 hours ago.
News that Amazon (AMZN) would be offering a so-called Prime Bike from Echelon Fitness for $500 that would compete with Peloton’s $1,900 bike caused a temporary dip in PTON shares yesterday. But today, Amazon came out and said it did not collaborate with Echelon on any such product and has removed it from the site.
The resulting rally in PTON is giving us the opportunity to ladder up our put option for more income.
