I finally closed the short Dec$37.50 puts on FXI today by buying them back at a cost of $0.13. I decided to take a good amount of profit on the expiration date, rather than getting assigned to FXI as the stock price was a few cents below strike.The intention is to sell another put when FXI rebounds.
As a winner management strategy, I could have set an good till cancel order to buy back the short put at a price of $0.10 to reduce risk of getting assigned when FXI fell. This option price was reached recently intraday, but not at the AM time period when I was trading.
I'll post the complete time decay chart of this option later with further analysis of the put selling strategy in the next few days.
