Hi Keith, MLNX one that I haven't dabbled in for a while was short calls when it was over 100 before the collapse. Sold 5 Jan 35 Puts .50 250 received Margin required about 1900 for the trade If exercised would need another 17250 Return if not exercised about 13% on margin used and or about 1.45% against cash for the month if exercised. Wanted to take a small position just to have it on the watchlist and not looking to go too heavy into too much positioning before the new year, but by having a few small positions open on higher beta names, a few quid can be hopefully gleaned on margin that isn't being used. Thanks for bringing it up. Good Trading dealmakr

Couple of real small energy positions established today by selling a few: END June 5 puts for a dollar. HNR June 10 puts for 2.25. Major weakness in energy stocks today considering rise in energy prices. Go figure. KJ
