09/17 AMC $70 Straddle

The $70 September straddle is ridiculous right now. The $70 Straddle will give you

  • Break even: $14/$125
  • Credit: $55.70
  • Delta: -34

If you delta hedge this with 34 shares to protect the upside your break even will switch to

  • Break even $25/$160
  • Your upside profit potential increases to $59.15 @$70

And finally, if you can't sell naked calls then just sell the $70 straddle buy the $110C and your upside loss will be eliminated and your breakeven to the downside is about $30.
