Riskarb's combo to fly conversion journal

which software/broker produces this screen? thx

 

If I am understanding you correctly I agree. The straddles I am selling are based on some sort of expectancy of what the stock and the vol is going to do. My reasons may be different than riskarb's (assuming we both spoke the same language lol) but it is not about picking high IV stocks and selling straddles.

 

ISRG busts a move afterhours...have to wait and see how much of it holds.

 

ISRG reported good earnings and the stock is currently trading at $142 in the after hours after closing at $127 and change. I sold the $130 straddle for $21.70 so the IV will get sucked the hell out of this puppy for a nice one day return .

Of course I would need it to hang around this level in teh AH and before the market opens tomorrow so I can take advantage.

 

congrats , couch !
if price stays , you looking at 9$ per combo tomorrow with iv collapsing to upper 40th

 

So now I am furniture.. LOL.

OUCH, as of right now ISRG is trading at $125 in the aftermarket. Easy come ($142), easy go ($125)....

EDIT: At 4:42PM the stock is at $133- someone is getting their ass handed to them in the AH lol.

 

sorry about it , lol

 

ISRG 110 handle, wow. That stock is a monster. Stock was just offered at 110, now 113.

 

ISRG "miss"

Co sees FY06 revs up 25-35% (roughly $284-307 mln) vs $308.53 mln Reuters consensus.

 

Now at $117.... LOL...

as long as IV gets sucked out at the open I will be happy
