Short straddle = short put and call @ same strike close to the current
price. For example, if one shorts Mar190c and Mar190p yesterday at
the close, one can take in about $40 prem for 1 call and 1 put.
The straddle is covered if one also owns the stock, so the upside
is protected. The down side risk is one is willing to own the
stock at 190 - 40 = 150.
