RE: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] MNTA

 

John,

 

MNTA was higher last week, which would also affect the call price.    Jack

Last wens I opined on the wisdom of rolling out the Dec 12.50  MNTA  to a Jan 12.50 by puirchasing the Dec for a nickle and selling the Jan for $1.10.  I peeked at the Jan $12.50 today and it was at a lofty $0.70/ $0.60 (bid/ask)

This is an object lesson in: whenever expiration gets close,  if your sold oiption is near worthless, if the next month looks juicy, roll out,  give up a bit to make a lot.

 

John
