Investment Reflection: GOLD Vertical Put Option Strategy
On May 9, 2024, I opened a contract of a GOLD vertical put option with a maturity date of June 21, 2024. The strategy involved selling a put option at a strike price of USD17 and simultaneously buying a put option at a strike price of USD16.

By selling the higher strike put and buying the lower strike put, I positioned myself to capitalize on a potential decline in GOLD stock prices, while limiting downside risk.
