I just bought back 10 January 7.5 contracts at $0.95. I wanted to test the premium structure as we bounced around between $8.41 and $8.42. The contract was back to a dead bid at $0.85 ($0.06-.07 below par), so I felt the need to probe. I'm definitely fine with the execution, but would have preferred a couple of other buyers matching my bid and just keeping the spread above par. I won't keep adding.

Volume is nowhere today. Hoping to see a little pick-up in volume at close and a nice little candlestick open tomorrow at ~$8.75. I don't mind seeing $8.48 acting as resistance today given the overall lack of volume and the downward pressure of the broad market.

A Santa rally tomorrow would be a lovely thing.

Edit. Changed my mind and entered a market order for 10 more contracts. Executed at $0.89 (a penny or two BELOW par.) Not sure whether to add more. I am still loving the trade, but I don't want a crowded exit. I will be looking at later dates and maybe increase positions further out, but I may just add more January. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I see much better support to protect that downside than resistance to block the upside of this short-term trade.
