Our hedges continue to soar in value as the market plummets. So, I am again recommending we roll our S&P 500 (SPX) positions to lower strikes to pocket cash while keeping our hedges in place.
If you are not currently in a hedged position and want to initiate one today, you can do so by opening one of the lower strike positions. Just be aware that we are tracking these as ongoing positions. And note that I am not recommending you double up on these hedges. Choose the one that best suits your trading style and hedging needs.
We discussed hedging at length in the SFPC Bonus Coaching Session. If you missed that session, please review it before attempting to put on a hedge.
