Weekly option strategies discussion - Week of July 3rd, 2023
Discuss your plays for the upcoming week or closed positions from the prior week. A good strategy post should include several of the following elements:
the underlying ticker
any upcoming catalyst
the specific strikes and expirations in your position
Continuing my bearish thesis on CVNA. It had only one profitable quarter since 2017 and should not have a $5 billion market cap. My strategy of choice is put front ratio spreads to take advantage of both price pullbacks and IV collapse. My price target is $24 for the upcoming week.
BTO 7/7 $26P X1
STO 7/7 $25P X2
I've been running this for a couple of weeks successfully. When the short strike is breached, I am rolling it out a week and down several strikes for a credit, while closing the bear put spread for a credit at the same time. So generally collecting credit three times; at open, when rolling the short put, and when closing the spread. I've so far been able to close the rolled put after a day or two due to either theta decay or rolling it into a new front ratio.
