AVGO Put Ratio Spread

The speaker proposes a put ratio spread on AVGO, buying the AUG 330 put and selling two AUG 220 puts for a $5.30 credit. The break-even is at $215, and the trade is considered due to the wide $10 spread between the puts. The speaker prefers this spread over a narrower one, as it provides more room for the stock to move and potentially higher returns. The trade is considered a good opportunity due to the high IVR and the stock's recent price movement.

Q&A

Why not just sell the 215 put instead of the 220 put?

The speaker explains that while selling the 215 put could yield a slightly higher credit, the 220 put is preferred due to the embedded $10 wide spread, which provides more room for the stock to move and potentially higher returns.
