Strangle Adjustments: Rolling Out & Up
Update: 2025-08-25
Description
In today's From Theory to Practice portfolio updates, Dr. Jim's Chipotle (CMG) 50-strike short put remains with no extrinsic value but hasn't yet been assigned. For IWM, he demonstrated a strangle adjustment by rolling the position to October, moving the untested put strike up from 203 to 219, and collecting $4.89 credit. Dr. Jim also considered recentering the call strike, too, but eventually opted not to do so.
Looking ahead, Best Buy (BBY) reports Thursday morning, while Nvidia (NVDA) earnings arrive Wednesday after the bell. Dr. Jim then hopped on his soapbox and emphasized understanding both the "gimme" and "gotcha" of every trade adjustment before execution, highlighting the importance of knowing what you're signing up for when making trading decisions.
