Rattan<<The thinking behind the trade was quite simple.

Buy PFE at 110 (now at 107 1/4)
Sell CC at 14
Sell Put at 12

Total return 26000 on a 1000 shares (invest 55000 on margin) in 7 months if PFE >=110. Thats a 47% return in 7 months

Only danger - PFE goes below 96. You end up with 2000 shares at 110.

*************************
In that scenario, your cost basis would be 97. 1000 @ 110, and the other 1000 would cost 84 (110 (strike price)-14 (call prem)-12(put prem). So total 2000 @ 97.
