IWM -- SHORT STRANGLE IDEA 

iShares Russell 2000 ETFArca

Description

With an implied volatility rank of 64 -- the highest among the broad market ETF's SPY, IWM, QQQ, and DIA, IWM offers a premium selling opportunity here that is likely to quickly evaporate as the beginning of the year positioning ensues.

I'm not going to play this, as I'm already in an IWM poor man's covered call, but here's the setup:

Feb 12 103.5/117.5 short strangle
POP%: 74%
Max Profit: 1.53/contract ($153)
BPE: Undefined
Breakevens: 101.97/119.03
