Re: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] spy dls update

 

Dr. Joe:

I read and enjoyed your paperof DLS and am trying out a SPY trade buying the Dec 2011 90 calls and selling the May 2010 122 Calls.

My question is about your strategy on pullbacks.  I understand that in the event of a drop in the underlining you don't like selling calls for less than your entry price.  Do you always buy extra calls or do you sometimes roll up?  ie:   Should SPY fall to 118,  I might than roll my Dec 2011 90 Calls to the Dec 2011 85 calls.

Now your plan suggests buying more calls (which I guess would be the Dec 2011 85 calls.  Is your logic simply put buy low and than sell some of the original Dec 2011 90 calls when the price returns to original levels?

Thanks,
Leo

P.S.  I also interested in  your EEM triple put trade.  Why did you select EEM?
