Dell short call spread

The speaker suggests adjusting the Dell trade by selling higher strike calls (650 or 700) and buying lower strike puts (300). This strategy is based on the call skew in the market, which is described as 'ridiculous.' The idea is to capitalize on the skew by selling calls and buying puts, which can provide a profit if the stock remains within a certain range. The speaker also mentions rolling the position to the next month if the assumption remains unchanged.

Q&A

Do I need to worry about the dividend event in 3 days for my short call position in Dell?

No, you do not need to worry about the dividend event in 3 days for your short call position in Dell. The stock needs to be over 500 for you to have dividend risk. Since the stock is currently at 436, you are not at risk of dividend exposure.

Actionable takeawayDividend risk for short call positions is only relevant if the stock price exceeds the strike price. In this case, the stock is below the strike price, so dividend risk is not a concern.
