Game Stoploss

Despite aforementioned disappointment at the lower Volatility causing a switch after 5 years from DITM to the Leap Strangle strategy, I continue to test it in my small IRA, but with 1/2 of the funds in cash until the end of this downturn - which I expect any day, with an upsurge into NY Day and beyond. My Examiner.com column:   http://www.examiner.com/stock-market-in-san-francisco/brent-leonard, extols the virtues of 2015 technically and cyclically - feel "free " to read and even Subscribe weekly to it if you like. It is now in its third year, as the DITM is in its 10th.

A good example of why I like DITM as well as Leap Strangles for double digit returns as well as Safety! is the blood-letting in many metal and energy stocks, but also Gamestop - GME.
In my IRA I note that the stock is down from my buy price - $39- t just below $33 on 200 shares (normally a $1200 paper  loss! According to my Schwab EDGE platform, having sold the 2016 40 strike (actually OTM when sold) , the profit on "milking" the premium is $1130 - so, adding $265 in dividends, the position is actually about even, if closed out today. Strangles work the same way, but add Sold Puts to the equation.

Remaining DITM positions include GE and INTC.
