I'd keep them. You have them fo free now and you'll get peanuts for selling them. Besides I have a hunch they'll appreciate. Just a hunch though.

Keep them at least another day to see if it backs off. When you set up straddles it is desired to leg out. Who knows, people may figure out what the heck investment income is on softie.

same strategy here...although i'm letting the calls ride for now (NDX calls). i also keep some OEX and DJX puts as insurance against surprises...but then i tend to write options off the moment i buy them.
