Our Blackstone Group (BX) call expired worthless last week, so I am recommending a new call to sell today. Note that this recommendation is only for people who already own shares of the stock uncovered from a previous position.
I am also recommending we roll the short leg of our CVS Health (CVS) call spread.
Finally, let’s book profits on our Corning (GLW) put position.
