Help!! ITM long put in loss

  1. Theta is a nickel and growing fast with the little time left. Curious what made you think a long Put option was the right trade, especially one with little time value and rapidly increasing effects of time erosion?

  2. The previous uptrend is ending is an oportunity to sell.

    Fibonacci 61.8% level to take profit at 54.5425

    Fibonacci 38.2 pct is the stop loss at 60.10

    CAT will touch its pivot point and reverse downwards, beginning a major downtrend. A move below 57.50 could set up a test of 53.25

    MACD (Moving Averages convergence divergence) is peaking and is about to crosse the signal line downwards; Momentum and RSI (Relative Strength Index) are topping; stochastic is overbought.

    The daily chart has a bearish consolidation right underneath a key long-term downtrend resistance line extending from the January high. Since recently hitting this trendline in mid-February, price has bumped up against it several more times without breaking the dynamic resistance imposed by the line.

    The key upside event to watch for within the context of this current uptrend would be a breakout above the noted long-term resistance line. Bias still remains bearish and shorts close to 59.95 can be considered for the target of 55 and lower.

    CONCLUSION: SELL AS MUCH CATERPILLAR AS YOU CAN (OR LOAD UP ON PUTS)


    Analysis: Are you stupid enough to make investment decisions based on made up jibberish from an anonimous stranger on the internet???

  3. Only buy puts on stocks that drop.

  4. MTE

    MTE

    Or the OP can just close out the put and achieve the same thing with less cost.
