Apr 19 82.77 April Options Expiry $75 put strike expired
Comments: In my opinion PepsiCo Stock is overvalued above $80. $80 would be the last strike I would be interested in selling at present. Earnings have to improve to support higher valuations. Investors are a little over exuberant with PepsiCo Stock at these levels. I will close my May $77.50 puts when it is worth 5 to 10 cents. I will only be Put Selling at or below $80.00 at present. (This ends the Walk That Profit Home To Momma Strategy and I will move back to Put Selling out of the money and normally below $80)
