Mail Block: Listener questions and comments

  • Question from Malki k. - I was surprised to see that FIT options are trading already, listed a little quicker than I thought. I like the stock but not at these levels, so I am looking at some downside strats. One that caught my eye was Aug 30-26 1x2 put spread - looks like I can buy the spread for somewhere around $.60 - $.90 depending on current prices. What is your opinion of that strategy? Not married to that time frame so I could also go longer term to November for $.10 - $.70. Seems like Nov puts are a little bit pricier. Before you say it, I know that this strategy can potentially get me long the stock from $26, but I am more comfortable with that price level than $33.50. And I would have all of the profits from my spread to reduce the effective purchase price of the stock to the low-20s range.
  • Question from Andrew J. - FIT Nov 25/40 bullish risk reversal for even money - thoughts?
