Sell TBT (buy back short puts)

Sell TBT via covering short Jun 33 puts, TBT @32.8. The short strangle blew up as TLT went on a strong trending bull rally (TBT is the inverse of TLT). I take a 180% loss on the value of the sold options. I remain short two TLT puts on the other side of the strangle and that would offset this loss, if they both expire worthless.

Long EEM, GDX, GLD, IWM, SPY, TLT
