Buy BA, PG (sell puts)

Buy PG via selling Apr 67.5 puts @76.8
I was already short Mar 70 puts. This is my third position for April, which I see as a low number. Chart support at the 50 day moving average at 72, and at the base of 70. Proctor and Gamble is sometimes labeled as a defensive stock. However, its options are trading at 25% implied volatility vs. about 19% for SPY. 
 
Buy BA via selling Apr 67.5 puts @76.9. I still like Boeing, am already short Mar 70 puts. Chart support at 70, one strike lower gives me a margin for error. These two moves give me four open positions for April, 14 open for March. March is another short time month for options because the month starts on a Friday.
