BABA -- POST-EARNINGS/"SINGLES DAY" VOL AFTERGLOW

58
With attractive earnings season plays quickly waning, I'm looking to play some instruments that still have a bit of earnings afterglow in terms of volatility. BABA (IVR 58/IV 39) is one of those plays: not only does it still have some volatility left over from earnings, it's been subject to profit-taking after a post "Singles Day" sales figures run up/sell off.

Here's the play:

Dec 18th 67.5/90 short strangle
POP%: 77%
Max Profit: $138/contract
BPE: ~$790
BE's: 66.02/91.48

Notes: I decided to go out less than 45 days, since the Dec 24 expiry had limited short put strike availability below the 1 SD (it widens to $5 increments). I'll look to take this off for 50% max profit ... .

Was filled pretty much immediately at 1.38. Love it when I don't have to chase price, but you could probably also attempt to get more if you're patient.
