Basically, I'm looking to get a credit equal to max loss with these, so I put this in-the-money short put vertical on for a 1.03 credit with a buying power effect of .97 (risk one to make one) with the notion that contango* will erode the position running into expiry ... .
Notes: Will look to "money, take, run" at 50% max. Currently, you can still get into a similar play; it'll just be lower down the totem pole: the Sept 15th 74/76 is paying 1.05 at the mid with a buying power effect of .95. The underlying is fairly illiquid, so don't settle for anything less than the mid price ... .
* -- In the case of SVXY, an inverse, contango erosion causes the underlying to increase in value.
