Hello traders!

The last couple of days I’ve been busy with a paint job at our Tbilisi office, and I had less time to post my trades, but it doesn’t mean I was absent from the market. I did a few trades this week, some roll-ups. I sold some AAPL stock etc.

Anyhow, back to the topic:

On December 17, 2021, I sold 1 credit spread bull put option on FCEL stock with an expiry set in the next 6 days on December 23, 2021. For this trade, I got a premium of $12.4 (after commissions)

This is not trading advice. Investments in stocks, funds, bonds, or cryptos are risk investments and you could lose some or all of your money. Do your due diligence before investing in any kind of asset.

FuelCell Energy, Inc. is an American fuel cell power company. It designs, manufactures, operates, and services Direct Fuel Cell power plants that run on natural gas and biogas.

I believe FCEL stock is trading close to the bottom (but you never know) and entering a trade with a stock price of $6.37 is much more pleasant than entering it at $11 and watching the stock dip.

Here is the trade setup:

  • SLD 1 FCEL DEC 23 '21 6 Put Option 0.20 USD

  • BOT 1 FCEL DEC 23 '21 5 Put Option 0.03 USD

For this trade, I got a premium of 12.4 USD (after commissions) or a 2.03% potential income return in 6 days, if options expire worthlessly

What happens next?

On the expiry date, December 23, 2021, FCEL is trading above $6 per share -  options expire worthlessly and I keep premium - if FCEL trades under $6 on the expiry date, I risk getting  assigned 100 shares and buying them for $600

But as I already have collected a premium of $0.12 per share, my break-even price for this trade then is $6-$0.12 = $5.88

In case of an assignment, I will turn this trade into a wheel, but prior to the assignment I will try to roll out this trade
