I am going to do the same as I did with the (IWM) puts and protect the position from time decay and falling market volatility buy selling short out of the money premium against my existing August $70 put position. These expire in two weeks. Don?t confuse them with the weeklies, George. This should take in (100 X .24 X 28) 67 basis points in additional return, or $672 for the notional $100,000 portfolio. Please note that I am doing this as a ratio on a 2:1 basis. I am selling short two near month $72.50 puts for every long dated August $70 put. If I keep doing this, I should be able to reduce my total cost to near zero. After the market makes its move on the April nonfarm payroll tomorrow, market volatility may fall further.
