#ShortPuts #ShortStrangles – Pulled a “WYNN” on me. Moved their earnings up a week so outstanding positions for next week jumped in value. You never know until it’s actually confirmed. Earnings last two years were in first or second week of Nov. Not this time…I’m guessing they wanted to avoid possible election fallout.
