Bought WAT
I bought a partial position (4%) in WAT today; I also have Nov $50 puts outstanding. WAT has been moving steadily upward since I opened my options position, and I am not sanguine about having the shares put to me. If WAT drops to my $50 strike price or below, it will be 5.3% of my portfolio (including the shares I just bought outright). If it stays above $50, at least I'll have my 4% and can later write more puts to hopefully fill the 5% target at a better price.
