Opening (Margin): /NG May 25th 1.00 Short Put
... for a .032 credit.
Comments: Adding to my natural gas position here with a 1.00 short put out in May (I already have a 1.00 short put out in April), with IVR/IV still through the roof here at 76/115.
3.20 ($320) max on buying power effect of 6.97. 45.9% ROC as a function of buying power effect; 23.0% at 50% max. 165.9% ROC annualized at max; 82.9% at 50% max.

Comentário:
For those not used to looking at short puts: this is the opposite of a long put, so it's neutral to bullish assumption. I make money if /NG goes up, sideways, or to a certain extent even down, as long as price stays above 1.00 running into expiry.

Out here for a .017 debit. $150 profit. Not quite 50% max, but I don't want to anger the natty gas gods ... .
