Quoting The Fool
I did do a strangle on EWW at the close, but it's funky: long the Jul13 $48.50 calls and lomg the Jul6 $45 puts for a net debit of 88c. Plannjng on making money on both ends, gonna be epic.
right, so I thought EWW would dip post-election even though AMLO was a shoe-in. Check - EWW down near 3%, but I need another 1-2% down soon. My thought was I would try to get back most of the 88c in the first days of this week and then hold for a rebound. We'll see...

looks like a 3% dip is all EWW will do. I will have to wait to the NY close to see if there is a broader sell-off at the end of day, but I most likely will take what I can get off the puts today.

I used to trade there but I have moved elsewhere. TDA bought the TOS platform and associated business from the original developers of TOS, and the TOS folks have moved on and now have their own brokerage, tastyworks. I have a token amount remaining in a TDA account and still use the TOS platform there just because that is what I am used to.

My trading is pretty simple though, so I don't need all that much in the way of platform bells/whistles.

....up about a net dime on the strangle, gonna chance a hold into Friday for a little more on the calls. Had a chance to make profit on the put side but wasn't nimble enough...

edit: Thurs close the Jul13 $48.50 puts worth $1.40+, net >50c on the strangle...I cashed out at net +35c

FB @ new ATH today & ER's 7/25 but I'm not finding what I want. I think FB will quickly drop to <$170 in any kind of sell-off, but when that'll be the $$$ question
