I have been hyper-reactive last few weeks in flushing out of losers - oftentimes to re-enter in days at worse pricing. STX short calls and FSLR short calls and IDCC short calls aling with WLT short calls among worst. My short puts in all 4 names have done well at least.

Z has been latest playchild - actually before QCOR and SWKS though. The 80% IV for the Oct 35s juicy. I am more than full there. 20% cushion. Stock has run 12% since initial piece near $2 - but that piece was hedged so only modest gains to date. I have exited long put hedge.

"I added QCOR yesterday and today"

You think the bottom is in with QCOR? Considering writing a put spread to capture IV.
