Trade: Sold MA May 12 410/405 Credit Put Spreads

5/15/12
Rolled these losing spreads down and out to June for a net credit of $410.
View the details of the roll here.

Trade:
BTC MA May 12 410/405 put spreads for ($2.67-$1.57) x 100 x 5 spreads = $550 paid vs. $250 received = $300 loss

5/2/12
Mastercard (MA) reported an earnings beat this morning yet sold off.  Taking the first trade I mentioned in my previous blog post here.  Ended up dropping the short strike a bit lower than I originally said, due to the strong pullback juicing up premiums a little bit.  OptionsHouse gives me an 85.4% chance of max profit, and the current strike peg is at 430.

Trade:
Sold MA May 12 410/405 put spreads for ($2.02-$1.52) x 100 x 5 spreads = $250 premium received
