Weekly: TSLA VRX

Most of my trades this week are in Tesla and Valeant. With Sequoia fund dumping 1.5 million shares of VRX, a short term bottom may be in. Tesla has a big news event on Friday April 1st, the launch of the new car. 

As I often do, I am selling naked strangles. I start way out of the money, then add layers. I'm thinking that both these stocks are going to stabilize. My mental stops are the strike price of each layer of sold options.

Happy Easter everyone.

Here are the trades (c = calls, p = puts, weeklies denoted by W suffix, W1 is week1, sell means sell-to-open, cover means buy-to-close, number is price per contract).
