Friday Recap:
CMG ruinied me for an AMZN strangle as my IV estimate was too low. I figured if CMG could open with 36% IV after dropping 6%, then AMZN would open at 40. That was wrong, it opened at 48 then spiked to 56. A 450/430 strangle paid out just like I thought it would.
MSFT made on one of the largest PEM to date, I tried getting into a straddle on that but it moved too quickly off the open and I didn't try to re-enter.
P vol opened with the straddle pricing a move of .78 by day's end. That turned out to be cheap as the stock made a max move of $1.68 from where it opened.
GOOGL I wasn't too interested in as it's not that great of a PEM, but it still made it's average move of 2% and IV was depressed on the open so a strangle would have worked in that. #hindsight
BABA ripped off the open, presumably from the AMZN report.
CELG ripped off a rumor of a BMY t/o. The 119/116 strangle was at 23% IV for .25 and I was bidding .22, didn't get in and the stock hit a high of 120.50. Also, IV quickly jumped from 23% to over 30% on this rumor. On the stock move, I would have been able to sell the 119 call for $1.25+
Too many woulda, shoulda, couldas today. That's how she goes sometimes.
I'm starting the week off with the Beatles advising one to "get back":
