OPENING (IRA): KRE JANUARY 15TH 40 SHORT PUT
... for an .81/contract credit.
Notes: With 30-day at 57.4% and expiry-specific at 42.3%, selling premium in one of the underlyings on my IRA shopping list. (Current yield 3.02%). I would ordinarily just ladder out, but this isn't exactly weak relative to where it's been, so want to keep powder dry for it in the event it weakens further. 2.07% ROC at max as a functional of notional risk; 11.6% annualized.
