Current MULL snapshot

Why this bear put spread structure on MULL specifically: MULL IV at 185.90% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying MULL bear put spread relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 53.30% (roughly $18.93 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MULL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

MULL bear put spread setup

The MULL bear put spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With MULL near $35.52, the first option leg uses a $35.60 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MULL chain at a 18-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 MULL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
