I have been game planning my "end game" for this S&P event . I want to have all the strategy decisions made then just fill in the exp dates and strikes based on the current conditions.
I too am predicting a rise to a peak, then a fall after inclusion. Based on that assumption, when I feel we have reached the peak, my current plan is to:
- Sell my short term calls (will be happy to unload those)
- Buy to close my cash secured put
- Sell CCs (probably around 2-3 months out, strikes TBD based on conditions)
- I'd like to get back on the wheel, but I'm staying away from selling any puts for a while until the SP stabilizes.
As far as capital gained (hopefully) from the sale of the calls. I was thinking of 2 options:
1. Holding the cash until a drop then buying shares or maybe LEAPs if IV is low.
2. Something I've never tried, buying puts. I've not considered a bearish strategy with TSLA before, and probably would not again, but this is a unique time/situation. Obviously that would be a more aggressive way to play an expected short term drop.
