[logo, header, fopr] June 26, 2024 Hey Option Pit Research, Since we last talked on AVGO, NVDA sneezed and AVGO got the fluâ¦. You can see that here on both charts, AVGO (standard candles) and NVDA (blue line): [sneeze] Both down over the last week. The bad news is⦠we miss-timed our trade on AVGO. That happens sometimes. The good news is⦠thatâs not the end, and really, it never is when you have professional level options strategies in your back pocket, which is exactly what we bring you here at Option Pit and through Option Pit Research. So - reviving this position. Lucky for us, AVGO is actually presenting a perfect opportunity to roll down our position. Rolling down is when weâd sell to close an existing long call and simultaneously buy a call closer to the money on the same stock - same expiry date, but lower strike. Itâs not SUPER common, but it can be very effective in a position we find ourselves in right now on AVGO where: - We have an options position thatâs down
- We still believe our thesis that AVGO will go higher
- And we want to get a âbetterâ price by leveraging up AVGO could drop another 3% and completely close the gap on the chartâ¦but as the split approaches, the excitement in AVGO will return to recent highs, so being long (expecting the stock to move higher) makes a lot of sense. The issue is our calls have dropped dramatically, and sitting and hanging onto them is a waste as a strong rally in AVGO MIGHT get these back to break even. We donât trade to breakeven, we trade to win. So what we want to do is roll down using a call spread. This will up our cost slightly, but if AVGO gets a strong rally⦠which it is highly likely to do ahead of the split as weâve seen with so many other pre-split names over the years⦠we will have a MUCH easier time converting this trade to profitable. This is something I rarely do, but in this particular situation, it makes a lot of sense and can help us bring this position back to even - and then profitable. To roll down our position, we will: BTO AVGO 1700 calls for $27 and sell the AVGO 1900 calls around $7, essentially going long the 1700 calls for the net cost of ~ $20.
