$AZO #ShortCalls – Sold 1 AZO AUG 25 2017 620.0 Call @ 1.20, turning one of my short put positions into a strangle. Only a few weeks until expiration with the strike price at the top of the trading range since the earnings gap in May.
The stock has rallied from 491 to 554 in less than a month. I don’t think it has another 66 points in it.

Taking IWM off
Bought to close $IWM Aug 18 144 calls @ .20. Sold for 1.00 on 7/24. Probably got a bit lucky on the timing but I’ll take it. I’ll look to re-initiate a trade in this ticker (short puts or a short strangle) once this pullback runs its course and hopefully IV increases.
