Why We Rolled
- Add Income – The extra $70 credit sweetens overall return while keeping risk defined.
- More Time to Work – Pushing the expiry out two weeks gives MSTX room to cooperate without forcing assignment.
- Slightly Lower Strike – Dropping from $31.50 to $31 trims downside exposure and improves our entry price if assigned.
Risk Management
- Continue monitoring MSTX price action and volatility.
- Be ready to roll again or close if premium decays or market conditions change.
- Comfortable owning MSTX? If yes, assignment at an effective price below $31 is acceptable.
Final Thoughts
Rolling puts is a core tactic in our premium‑selling playbook—harvest theta, lower basis, stay flexible. This MSTX adjustment keeps capital productive while managing risk.
