Then you need pay for the dividend.

If you want dividend, buy SPY (~91.55 today) and buy a ITM put to hedge, such as June 96 put (delta=0.98) or July 100 put (delta=0.93). Make the trade as one multiple position order during 1:00--3:00pm when SPY goes side way and sell them in one order at the same price on Friday open. Due to dividend, SPY may be $0.1-0.2 less than SPX/10 at Friday open (normally SPY is $0.1-0.3 higher). If SPY drops at the open VIX will go up the put worth more and will cover the loss of stock. If SPY up stock will always up more than put loss. This is pure dividend play and will have no time decay on last OE day.
Don't want dividend? calendar put spread I think should be better when market starts going down.
BTW, the OE for index SPX is at the first 5 min of Friday open and that for SPY is after close. Remember, MM will make money on both OEs due to huge volume in the positions.
How do you think? |
