Yesterday we analyzed:
Buy 1 GS Monthly 155 put for $3.30
Sell 2 GS Weekly 150 puts @ $0.49
Value = $2.32
Today we close:
Sell 1 GS Monthly 155 put @ $4.85
Buy 2 GS Weekly 150 puts for $0.96
Value = $2.93
Hypothetical return: $2.93 - $2.32 = $0.61 or 26%. I must admit, it turned out a bit lucky; the market tanking the next day.
This is trade analysis, not a recommendation.
