Rolling our WYNN puts to a higher strike price and November expiration.
Shares of WYNN broke above resistance this week after a summer basing period.
The company should benefit from the strong dollar (which drives international travel) and also from less restrictive pandemic regulations in Chinese-controlled Macau.
Our October put contracts will expire in two weeks and are now trading at a low price thanks to strength in WYNN’s stock price.I continue to be bullish on this stock.
The most recent rally gives us a chance to close out our October $62.50 put contracts while locking in a large portion of the income we received from entering this trade.
We’ll then use that cash to set up a new income play by selling put contracts with a higher “strike price” (or agreement price).
This way we can continue to generate income from shares of WYNN.
By selling the WYNN November $65 puts near $3.15, we’re able to collect an annualized yield near 42%, while also giving us roughly $7.00 per share in cushion between the current market price for WYNN and our strike price.
- Buy (to close) our WYNN October 21st $62.50 put

ALSO
- Sell (to open) one WYNN November 18th $65 put
- Limit: $3.15 or more
- The new position will represent roughly 7.5% of our model.
