Rolled call spread side of the Lizard down from 144/147 to 120/124 for 1.09 credit against a 125 put. Total credit now 4.14 so still no upside risk. Dead zone in this position is from 124.14 to 125.00 I’d be happy for it to get back to those levels.

#ShortStrangles – Learned my lesson on BIIB. Playing my other short strangle cautiously since this thing looks to be getting some momentum here.

Was short the 512.5/535 @ 16.10

Bought back short call @ 12.20 and letting the put for next week ride with 3.90 of premium still available. Earnings on the 18th.

BIIB

#ShortStrangles – Wild move with the announcment of the new drug. Have to admit I didn’t know that was in the pipeline. Was short 220 puts against a 315 call (2 puts x 1 call). Closing the short call for safety and letting the short puts ride. Will look for new put sales to make up the difference.
