The new volatility regime that emerged on Friday requires me to cut my risk.
So, as much as I love (GOOG) for the long term, the short term movement of the shares have suddenly become uncertain.
I am therefore taking a small loss on my position in the Alphabet (GOOG) October, 2016 $720-$750 in-the-money vertical bull call spread.
I took my hedges off too soon by a day, and therefore have to cut some longs as well.
It is much easier to dig yourself out of a small hole, than to claw your way out of a chasm.
If you bought the stock, keep it. I think it could REACH $1,000 over the next three years.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
