... for a .53 credit.
Comments: Adding a short put element to what was a long call diagonal (June 17th 25 Long Call/February 18th 32 Short Call). Up to this point, my cost basis in the diagonal alone was 5.45, implying a 30.45 break even relative to where EWZ is currently trading at 27.90. I wanted to bring the setup break even closer to where EWZ is currently trading, and selling this put results in a net cost basis of 4.92 with a break even of the long call strike (25) + 4.92 or 29.92.
I'll look to roll the short strangle (short put/short call) as a unit to reduce cost basis further, assuming we don't get a bodice ripper up to >32, at which point the diagonal should begin to converge on max.
