OPENING: TLT MARCH/JUNE 120 PUT CALENDAR
... for a 1.56/contract debit.
Notes: TLT is in a really low implied volatility state (30-day at 9.5%) and at or near horizontal resistance in the 122-123 area. With a June hike being talked about in terms of timing of the next hike, I figured I'd put on a calendar to potentially benefit from that scenario, which would lead to a downturn in the underlying along with a volatility expansion, both of which would benefit this setup.
Not looking for much out of it: 20% max.
