OPEN: GE bull put spread +.30
Posted on April 11th, 2008 by

I got filled on my GE bull put spread for a credit of +.30. I sold the April 32 puts and bought the April 30 puts. This gives me a maximum potential ROI of .30 / 1.70 = +17.6% in one week. By buying the April 30 puts I’m protected if GE drops to anything below 30. At that point I can decide whether or not I want to get put the stock.
Remember, this is a speculative trade. Keep your sizes small (less than 1%) and don’t trade any capital you aren’t willing to lose.

Looking at Thinkorswim it looks like at Monday open,, depending upon the action a 32/31 BPS might bring .33 or if the stock is up a bit maybe ..28
Math here looks like minimum of ..28/.72 or 38.8% if all expires worthless
Yes it's speculative but I just may take 5 or 10 x
After hours Friday shows the GE at 32.20 or so . If th e trade gets to be less than a .25 credit Ill pass although the short delta will be smaller

The underlying is twitching tantalizingly at almost 32, I would be happier if it gained a few cents to 32.50 or so
I do not expect this though. I suppose various broker opinions will have an effect. Some analyist needs to see this as a buy oppty

Always enjoy the profits taken, never regret the profits left on the table.
