atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

Ahh yes, excellent. Didn't look at the date.

 

Some serious upside skew in those Nov options.

What strikes are you in for the calendar?

 

I have Dec 18 puts vs Nov 16 puts (position from about a month ago) and today i put on the Nov Dec 16 callspread.

First trade has been hairy but I think it's a good one now. If he bids before downside skew will be very high. It's not easy to do a 5billion dollar LBO, especially for a declining company, so markets should discount his ability to close.

 

Long ASDK straddle , NOV

 

Got it today.
