Lets say I am Bullish on Ford stock (example only). Ford is trading @ $10
I sold Short PUT for $1 with strike of $10. But stock went down to $9.5. Now this option is worth $1.5.
Lets say I roll this option to next month for $1. Basically I am buying back Short option for $1.5 ($0.5 loss) but at same time I am selling next month Option at strike of $9 PUT for $1.
Q. Would wash rules apply? They have same underlying but they have different strikes and different expiration.
SPY or VFINX may not be similar according to tax expert. How 2 options with same underlying , but different strikes and expiration are similar? They have different liquidity, profit/loss profiles?
