Opening (IRA): SMH August 19th 175 Short Put

Long
NASDAQ:SMH   VanEck Semiconductor ETF
... for a 1.76 credit.

Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike in the August monthly (53 DTE) paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. Adding a smidge of long delta back into my portfolio to keep my net delta happy using an ETF that is closely correlated with the broad market (SPY 3-month correlation of .92) instead of cluttering up my IWM, QQQ, and SPY short put ladders further.

Other ETF's to do this with: XLK (.97 3-month correlation), EFA (.90).
