After releasing earnings on May 27 which were better than expected, Tivo fell about 10%. Based on this fact, I chose to close out the call I had sold, purchase a protective put, and sell an out-of the-money LEAP call in order to finance the purchase of the put. The reason I chose to do this was two-fold. An out-of-the-money LEAP call will not move very much with movements in the stock, which allows the stock to appreciate while also allowing me to buy back the call and sell a closer expiration call without paying to much of a premium. Additionally, after finally becoming profitable Tivo has now reverted back to negative earnings and as such I do want to protect my downside further, while still allowing for a rebound in the economy to send the stock higher. The purchase info is below:
