XRX after earnings acted like quite a few others and sold off. Opened a round of closer to the money short calls with the premise that there won't be any rapid bounce in this stock until things settle out a bit. By reducing the call strike to 11 there is a possibility of losing the stock for less than the price of purchase, but they can be bot back rolled out or closed depending upon price action.

Good Trading
