Wanted your take on it which you already gave. Thanks.<br /><br />I have puts on MO expiring Sept 8 which I don't mind if exercised. Both stocks have fallen quite a bit.<br /><br />Best wishes.Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794407296635689528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-22633883526070519892017-08-11T10:17:50.263-07:002017-08-11T10:17:50.263-07:00Thanks for commenting, Amber Tree -- sharing detai...Thanks for commenting, Amber Tree -- sharing details is what keeps me disciplined :-)FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-43390950161574640522017-08-11T10:09:56.864-07:002017-08-11T10:09:56.864-07:00Hi, Spock -- I'm not sure why you ask, but pro...Hi, Spock -- I'm not sure why you ask, but probably because SBUX's share price dropped quite a bit lately. With SBUX trading at $53.38, my $52.50 put is still in the money. Should the put be exercised, I'll buy 200 shares at $51.27 (due to the options premium collected). I'd be happy with that price!FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-51673610637590281752017-08-11T10:03:08.345-07:002017-08-11T10:03:08.345-07:00Options are fun... wish I had more time to researc...Options are fun... wish I had more time to research and learn...

Of course, that's not likely to happen before October expiration unless the market tanks.FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-31746701474985659622017-08-04T07:45:41.350-07:002017-08-04T07:45:41.350-07:00I like what you did with AAPL.

And it seems you can't go wrong if you get into Apple at 128 cost basis.Financial Velociraptorhttp://velociraptor.ccnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-87780646264547351682017-08-04T06:41:24.023-07:002017-08-04T06:41:24.023-07:00Thanks for reading and commenting, Mat!
