Re: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] TM spread

 

Anthony,

If the earnings are being released on 8/4, why did you buy a Sep/Oct calendar?

Also, the IV for Sep is 24.13% and Oct is 23.25%. Not much of a skew. 

If anything, after the earnings are announced, the vol crush may happen in both options and not making much money.
