Rolling (Margin): XOP Dec 16th 127C/147P to Jan 20th 130C/147P
Updated
... for a 3.67 credit.
Comments: Rolling for a realized gain with this down move. There was no 127 strike, so rolled the short call to the 130 and the short put "as is." Total credits collected of 28.47 on a 17 wide inverted. Resulting delta/theta -38.14/15.30 with 13.43 of extrinsic, so I'm indicating here that it's a "short" position.
Still looking at this for tax loss harvest, but wanted to give it an additional chance running into year's end to make something of itself.

Closing here for 29.28 -- an .81 ($81) loss, which is a lot better than I was looking at a few short days ago.Disclaimer
