On January 21, 2015, we just finished banking 53% and 42% gains on the iShares Silver (SLV) January 2016 15 calls earlier than expected.
I then recommended buying a silver hedge because the silver was topping out. I mentioned buying the SLV January 2016 18 call and the April 2015 18 put to capitalize on near-term price decline.
Today, silver is pulling back from the highs, as expected, handing us a quick gain on the put option. I’m recommending that you sell to close just half of the put today to secure the gain. Hold the second half, as well as the longer-dated call option trade.
