Options Playbook Radio 461: Escape the UNH Trap
Episode 461
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
Tired of trying to find UNH cheese and just want out of the trap? In this episode, we break down a front spread, also known as a call ratio spread, built for traders who already own 100 shares of UNH and want options to, literally, get unstuck. By buying one 300 call and selling two 315 calls expiring Friday, March 6, 2026, the trade was placed for about a $1.00 net credit with UNH near 281.70. We explain the front spread logic, why it is considered covered, the payoff, and the fine print that matters. Listen in to hear how this escape plan unfolds.
