Opening (IRA): QQQ March 17th 288/May 19th 327 LPD*
... for a 29.86 debit.
Comments: Re-establishing my short delta hedge against a long delta portfolio, buying the back month -90 delta and selling the front +30 to give me -60 delta of hedge per contract. This is not a comment on where the market goes from here, but rather protection to keep me from filling my diaper in the event the market sells off (although you can certainly use this setup to take a directional shot, too).
Cost basis of 29.86 with a 297.14 break even on a 39 wide.
