12/08/2009 - ThetaOptions Margin Portfolio – AMZN Wide Short Strangle Adjustment 1

Like I said, we’re more concerned about Amazon falling back to 100 than we are about anything else.  Therefore, we’re going to purchase a JAN10 vertical PUT in-order to achieve a wider profit range.  Of course this will take away from our total profit, but I don’t want the Ghost of Christmas Past to visit us over the holidays :-)

Order:

Buy To Open:  (1) AMZN JAN 110/100 Vertical PUT Spread – $0.58 debit

GTC order:

Buy To Close:  (1) JAN 10 100 PUT – 0.10 debit (We have a standing order to buy back the short PUT!)
