Update RHT at $46.36 P/L: -$60.00 after 1 week. Hold through earnings.

Yes the color of the current page number should stand out more, but if you look to the left you will see the current page listed. Page 9 of 16

You have taken the bullish comment out of contex. From original post I never did open a trade, but the 16C/15P strangle would have cost about $1.42 just before earnings, RIMM closed at $15.13. The position could have made a small profit or loss, depending on when it was closed on...

Perhaps this would be a good time for an ET overhaul. Update to the latest Vbulletin board and modernize the look. Even consider archiving the threads if it makes the switch easier.

Now maybe I will get some respect around here, no more rating my threads one star. :)

Bang on. :) And I made that prediction 1 year ago.

The time limit for editing threads is not functioning, all threads are now editable at any time. For a demo I have edited my 1 year old thread with todays close of GOOG. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3034227#post3034227

Yup ..... I made a mistake by not checking when the earnings are. I just noticed a typo, the long 50C should be 60C, the $0.35 is correct.

FYI - RIMM December 15 - Earnings This could be a good long Strangle play, buy on Thursday sell on Friday. Should cost less than $1.00. I am bullish on RIMM, but would like to play both sides of the fence. I will update on Thursday. :) 14,688 people like this.

sle ....... the word Dynamic is what is wrong, not the Hedging part. Dynamic is something that constantly changes, so the position is constantly re-balanced. That will eat up the small credit very quickly.

What is an adjustment? Isn't that just entering another position to make up for the unrealized loss on the current one, in this case an Iron Condor. Why not just close the Iron Condor - take the loss or profit - and then start a whole new position. Keep it simple. How does long straddles...

Could you explain how someone would Dynamically Hedge Short Strangles such as Don Bright's example with the $40.00 stock. Selling the 35 Put and 45 Call will bring in a low premium and a $5.00+ swing either way isn't very much. I would exit the entire position when one of the strikes got...
