Oh damn it! FOOLED again.
Out of everything, including AMZN.
I can't take this volatility. Makes me too nervous.
Apparently, there was similar volatility in FEBRUARY ... I guess I wasn't watching.
I don't remember a thing.

BABA($172)....looks like a swing here, need a strong stomach and some duct tape for Trump's mouth.

sell to open strangle on XLI, 70 May18 put and 78 May 18 call for a credit of 1.23 (per one lot or contract)
Will take profits at .74 debit or manage accordingly
this happened earlier today. I've been on the road doing my day job. You can get in at about 1.16 which is still good.

@ gmg,
Good lord!
I don't see how you can do this AND have another job too!

================
He makes me nervous. I HOPE he knows what he's doing. I certainly don't like what he did to AMZN.
However, my suspicion is, he DOES know what he's doing. Every word, every "stab" is deliberate.

Need to get my theta numbers up in my options account.
STO GLD strangle May 18: STO 123 Put and STO 131 Call for a credit of 1.11 per contract
Will close at .67 or manage accordingly
I'm looking for trades that don't have earnings in the next few weeks. Trade earnings differently. To me risk is to the upside in GLD (but no one knows anything) so I'm scewed to the upside.
