For example, look at what happened to AOL over the last several weeks.

I use plenty of volatile stocks. :-)
Let's take MSFT this past month.
you get in after Dec EX at 112.
you're whipped up to 119, down to 102, up to 116 and back down to 104 today.
I don't have exact prices, but roughly, let's say you got 7.5 for the Jan110C and 4 of the put.
that gives you a range of 117 to 105.
would you have closed the short put or call as you 'enhanced' the other side?
