Buy LGF (sell puts)

Buy LGF via selling Jul 12 puts LGF@13.3
Lions Gate Entertainment earnings and conference call move the stock. The initial response to earnings is a plunge in after-hours trade. After the morning conference call, buyers step in and continue to support the stock. This trade adds a second layer of short puts, was already short Jun 13 puts.

My SPY position is now slightly delta negative, so I am net short. I placed an order to sell a strangle on MT ArcelorMittal, a big French steel company but did not get filled at the mid point.

Long BRKB, GNC, LGF
Net long IWM
Net short SPY
