Last Week I Took MSFT Profits. The New Position Is Already Down 35%.
Mathematical Money | June 13, 2026 Last week I wrote about closing two MSFT LEAPS for roughly $8,400 in realized profit. Both contracts had more than doubled. I wrote about the rule that triggered them, the redeployment into higher strikes, the framework working at a second ticker after SPY in May. I also wrote this, near the end: "Most LEAPS I open will not double. Some will get rolled at a loss." Eight days later, here we are. The new MSFT position I opened the same week is down significantly. Let me show you exactly what that looks like, because this is the post that has to be written if last week's post is going to mean anything. The Marks Three positions to walk through. June 2027 $500 LEAPS, two contracts. Opened June 3 at $40.25. Currently around $26.00. Down about $14.25 per contra
