Sell LGF strangles

Sell LGF Dec 30 puts
Sell LGF Dec 42 calls
LionsGate Entertainment has Enders Game opening this weekend and Catching Fire on 11/22, so this a roll of the dice. A short strangle is a bet on a trading range. With the movie releases, option volatility is up.

Net long GLD LGF SPY

/edit to add: Early report is $28 million for the opening weekend for Enders Game. One estimate was $25 to $30 million, so right in the range is what a strangle seller hopes for. We will see if the stock moves on the news. 

Again a reminder, that I will be reporting trades way after the close for the next two months because of limited computer access.
