Hi Don! Dang, just when I catch up to your put shorting, you switch to something else (I'm currently short a pile of ATHM Jun 130 puts).

Just to clarify, are you doing the "covered straddle write", i.e., a covered call, plus a short put?

October came early this year! My charts look like a sale on red paint...

What happened to the strategy of rolling out and down to eliminate the red? Come on, Don... I was just getting the hang of the strategy that you taught me and now you switch to straddles. But give me a hint... what went wrong with the PUTs so that I can avoid "red paint". Thanks.
