Naked Strangle



I’m toying with the idea of doing a naked strangle instead of an iron condor on the $RUT for June.  I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with other Optionaddicts this week concerning my Iron Condor rules.  I usually trade 5 contracts on the iron condor, which means 20 commissions (counting all four legs of the trade) to get in and 20 commissions to get out which is $60 per iron condor.  If I do a naked strangle I only need to sell 1 contract and have two legs for the same margin requirement.  That translates to $6 in total commission charges instead of $60, and roughly the same amount of risk.  Don’t us traders have dirty mouths?

I listed three more ebanned auctions today.  Oh, so funny.  I was having a conversation with a friend at the gym the other day.  She knows I dance, so I told her I opened up an online lingerie store. 

“Oh, I’d love to buy see some of your designs,” she said while we huffed on the stepmill.

“Ha!  I don’t think you want to buy my lingerie,” I replied.

“No, really…I want to see all the naughty stuff!” she said, “You know I live vicariously through you!

“Let me rephrase the emphasis of that sentence.  I don’t think you want to buy my lingerie.” I repeated.

“Ooooooh…..”
