"THE KID": OPENING (IRA) IWM SEPT 20TH 125 SHORT PUT
... for a 1.10/contract credit.
Metrics:
Max Loss/Buying Power Effect: Full notional
Max Profit: $110/contract
Break Even on Setup: 123.90 (18.4% discount over where the underlying is currently trading if assigned)
Delta: 10.93 (Current)
Theta: 1.36 (Current)
Notes: While I'm sitting on my hands a bit here, I figured I post one of my kid's "Not A Penny More" IRA trades (See HYG Post Below). She doesn't do a ton, doesn't want to look at stuff a lot (maybe once a month), and is totally unwilling to buy into the ridiculousness of acquiring shares at near all-time-highs. This particular trade was put on some time last week, and she'll look to roll out for a credit once a month post-opex for cost basis reduction until that's no longer productive or until she gets assigned, at which time she'll proceed to sell calls against her shares.
