If TSLA is above $600 at expiration, earn $10. If below, buy 100 shares for $590 which is $100 lower than today's price. Another random choice: Sell the 5/21 $525/$475 for a $10 credit. Above $525 at expiration, earn $10. Below $525 you own another 100 shares at $515. Select the stock purchase price you are willing to buy at and pick the expiration (net credit) that you are comfortable with. Note that in these examples the long put limits the loss to $40 should TSLA crash. | |
