Rolling our TLT put contracts to a higher strike price.
After breaking down this month (bonds trade lower as interest rates rise), TLT has bounced. This looks like a short-term rebound and I expect TLT to continue to fall as long-term interest rates move higher.
Rolling our put contracts lets us buy more intrinsic value at a discount, and sets us up for better profits when TLT trades lower.
