With the market falling ahead of the big tech companies reporting earnings this week, we can manage a few of our positions today.

 

ROLL
Cardinal Health (CAH): 80.73

Cardinal Health is scheduled to report earnings on May 4, which gives us plenty of elevated premium to roll our put position out another week.

ACTION: Roll CAH 28 Apr 79 put to the CAH 5 May 79 put for a net credit of around 1.00 to 1.05.

ROLL
Philip Morris (PM): 98.93

Philip Morris enjoyed a nice run-up for roughly a month before dropping sharply after a relatively flat earnings report on Thursday. The stock has rallied the past two days, though, so let’s roll our call out to collect more premium.

ACTION: Roll PM 28 Apr 99 call to the PM 12 May 99 call for a net credit of around 0.43 to 0.48.
