Mindful of looming Brazil elections, even though that is 5 months out. Have been looking to get in something short EWZ but not done so yet. Uncertainty re: elections, rising USD, falling oil - all pushing down on EWZ.

$HUBS trading ideas. Nice Break Out. I guess it's nice to SELL some premium.
almost no volume in HUBS options, if you have to manage one end of the IC, the crummy bid/ask will eat into your profit from the other. A general rule I follow: don't trade thin options.
