Short Rolled 10 AMD $7 Aug/Sept Put with net credit of $0.12

July 29, 2010 · Posted in US Options · Comment 

Amd at $8, seeing the aug $7 is decaying, we decided to short roll into sept with 12 cents credit.

With our Oct $7 at 29 cents, we would close down our position to stop loss if it drops below 17 cents. Breakeven without commission.

market is well off its low today, VIX is down 3% despite a down market, a sign of exhaustion of selling pressure ?? we'll see.

MRVL is bouncing off nicely today.

 

Risk : S&P closing below 1040 by Friday. Its a key support on the weekly chart
