The market continues to take us on a wild ride of coronavirus and politically induced swings. While I believe the extreme volatility will subside, I expect heightened levels of volatility to remain.
Our CVS Health (CVS) and Halliburton (HAL) calls are on track to expire worthless at the close tomorrow, and we will simply watch them do so. I will recommend new calls to sell against our shares soon to continue to reduce our cost basis on the positions.
Roku (ROKU) is holding up well despite today’s sell-off, and I am recommending we close the standalone put to book a nice profit. I want to see where the stock trades tomorrow before deciding what to do with our spread.
