Altria Group Stock (MO) Rescue Deep In The Money

I received an email from a new investor who has been trading just for a year on a trade he is holding in Altria Group Stock (MO). Henk is holding in-the-money naked puts at the $70 put strike which he sold for $2.50. Let’s look at his questions and some answers.

Hi Teddi,

I am in a sort of situation right now. I sold 10 puts of Altria at the 70 put strike for $2.50 a while ago thinking MO wouldn’t drop far below my costbasis of $67.50. But to my surprise MO is heading to $60. I should have rolled down while I had the chance, but now it’s too late since I have been asigned the shares. I want to get out without a loss. Can you please show me a way out?

Henk
