NUE, LMT, SNV. AXTA & FITB also made my screen, but I don't think I'm trading them (too short history & low stock price, respectively). Will wait till around 3:30 before getting in.

UTX has Boeing 737 risk. It was their faulty sensors
Why is no one talking about this?! Every article on my news feed is bullish. This could be a massive trade. Maybe a put backspread? There debt has also been growing by 19% CAGR. Some bad earnings news related to Boeing could really hurt
I am looking at the J lizard - -1x138C + 1x143C + 1x133P for Cr.85 on UTX. However UTX barely took any heat, during the Boeing melt down.
Edit** Filled avg -.83. I think this is a great idea @newwurldmn

Bot back the UTX short Calls for a profit. Riding on the strangle (138/133) over night.
Edit** no fill on WHR. Vol came in ALOT. This morning the straddle was trading @10.50, we are below 9 now. Not enough edge here
Edit** partial fill on 2 WHR 126/139 139 /155 avg 8.74. Wish me luck here guys, this either opens up at $4 or $12. Metals and oil vol has dropped which should help WHR. Plus alot of inovation (compared to recent past) is happening at that company

I forgot to mention, the skew Pctile on WHR is 100%. Everyone is hedged here. There is little downside. Plus the people on stocktwits are all bearish. Thats enough from me, way to many posts in one day
F*^k, this thing is moving more to the upside than I would like.
I liked your idea. I sold May strangles and I just hedged the delta. The problem with being part time is that I was talking to someone as I saw the stock gap up from 144 to 148 (where I hedged). Expecting reset to 35 vol and I will see from there - so far, expecting to lose small.
Yea, it's really pushing high here. Usually the confrence calls are negative. Hopefully, that will push us back down a bit.
I did not know you hedge overnight. How's the liquidity? Do you hedge your delta at 100 due to Post Earn Drift?
I hedged to flat delta. I don’t alwaysbuedge overnight but if a stock is gapping I will. Liquidity sucks but I would rather pay 50 cents in bid offer than ride short delta for 3 dollars.
