In this webcast, we focused on Short Put Verticals which is a bullish to neutral strategy. The goal is to potentially take advantage of the time decay incurred even when the markets are closed on Christmas Day and New Years Day. It's also an attempt to cautiously take advantage of a 'Santa Claus Rally' should it occur. We placed 4 example short put vertical trades on the thinkorswim paperMoney platform.
