Now, onto yesterday's trade... We were successfully filled on the new Kellogg put-sell trade from yesterday. The only downside though was that it moved out of range very quickly. Fills came across between $.25 - $.29 per contract, so we'll take the official mark at $.27 per. Some of you wrote me about your fills at $.28 per contract. Here's what we did: Sold (sold-to-open) the K January 18, 2019 $55 put options for an official sale price of $.27 per contract as an opening transaction (sold-to-open). I know the trade went by fast, with some of you not being filled. Unfortunately, the options markets aren't as deep (volume-wise) as the stock market. That is why it is imperative that you stick with my guidelines on what price to sell the put option for. I hope no one sold it at $.20 per contract yesterday. That was a no-no! When you do that, it only emboldens the market-makers to keep their bid prices low. If they know someone will sell it to them at $.20 per contract, why on earth would they pay up to $.25 per contract? They won't and they don't. Let's be smart and make them come to us. I understand that in the short-run, we'll put a little pressure on the market with our rush of sell orders, but if the stock drops a bit at this point, the rest of you should be able to get the sales done. We know at the time of the trade yesterday Kellogg stock was at $71.50 and the put option had a $.25 bid/$.35 offer. There's no reason to believe those option prices won't move back up if K stock drops again. Be patient, and keep your sell order working "GTC" for at least $.25 per contract or higher. That's all for now. Continue to hold all other positions as-is. Contact me here Regards,
