Mark, I understand why one would sell calls and buy puts. However, because your call is front month (JUL), I was wondering why you did not simply sell the deep itm. I would have understood it better if they had been longer term calls.

But you explained your position well :)

I am trying to get dialogue for why people do certain plays for a workshop I am presenting on. This helps me to finetune what different people do in same situations.

Thanks to all and if there are any other comments from others re: these discussions, I'd like to hear them.
