Net Position Exposure

Covered Calls 8500 shares
Naked Puts 18500 shares

This stock has been beaten down even more than most others in the current selloff. Rolled the Aug strikes for NP's down twice and had to buy them back in while opening lower NP's in Sep & Oct for lower strikes. Decided to take in an additional 1500 shares rather than having an exercise at 8 and dropped the DCA by .47/share on the total position. Doesn't seem to matter at this time however and find myself overleveraged in the NP side as opposed to the call side. Will be looking to roll down and out the Sep 9 puts and will also add another 1500 shares at 7 if it gets there reducing further the DCA to under 10.

This trade has been a loser and using naked put options has increased the losses when it broke down from 9. Forward PE now down under 6 and will stay around for a while looking to work through it.

Good Trading
