Despite weighting the trade toward the bearish side, the overall position remains flat given time decay (I did not track implied volatility). With two weeks to go until expiration, this position will need WYNN to follow-through on its breakdown from consolidation (see chart below from mid-afternoon &#8211; WYNN ended up closing with a heft 8% loss) in order to get profitable. Without further progress by next week, I will be rolling this position out to the November expiration.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177\" style=\"width: 515px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/091001_WYNN.jpg\" alt=\"WYNN breaks down from short-term consolidation pattern\" title=\"091001_WYNN\" width=\"525\" height=\"313\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/091001_WYNN.jpg 525w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/091001_WYNN-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WYNN breaks down from short-term consolidation pattern<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n*<strong>Chart created using TeleChart:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worden.com\/CURRENTAFPROMO.aspx?AFCODE=866\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.worden.com\/Content\/Banners\/images\/88x31.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Be careful out there!<\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: long WYNN puts and calls<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schaeffer&#8217;s Investment Research is reporting today that the Macau IPO for Wynn Resorts, Limited (WYNN) has been meet with heavy put buying the past two days.
