MOS Weekly PUT 55
New position just initiated near end of day Monday. Sold the weekly MOS 55 put for $0.21. The motivation and theory behind this trade is essentially the same as the POT naked put from last week. MOS is a stock I have owned before and am comfortable buying at 55 if I am assigned. Did 5 contracts so it's just a small gain if it works out, but odds are favorable showing only 13.6% probability of my being assigned at the moment.

Update:
ReplyDeleteTwo hours till close but safe to say this trade is finished, the short puts will expire worthless for maximum gain.
End of Trade: MOS closed at $57.58. Pretty wild ride on this 5 day trade - this option started at 21 cents, down to 7 cents after 1 day, up over 60 cents after two days, and down to 0 at the end. In the end it was good for $288 after commissions.
