[Options] I'm Gonna Strangle Philip!
I like selling a $PM October 13 (weekly) 90/98 Strangle for approximately $1.40 net credit. This means I'll be naked short equal amounts of the 90 puts and the 98 calls:
Due to the undefined risk inherent in holding naked short options, I need to be vigilant in exiting this trade if my range is breached.
So any $PM closing price above $98 per share or below $90 per share is my signal that I'm wrong and I'll exit the trade win or (likely) lose.
Meanwhile, I'll leave a resting GTC limit order to close this trade for a profit at .70 cents, which is half of what I collect today. Not being greedy, but tactical.
