$AAPL I’m trying again to run a fig leaf option. I bought a July 2016 100 call for 9.80 and sold a Jan 2016 107 call for .55. I do need $AAPL to increase or tread water to be profitable. I’ll sell OTM calls through winter and spring. I am doing this with $FB ending next week and it has worked well. It was working very well prior to yesterday.
