see 
 price is set 7% from upper and lower limits penetration that may only happen 
 1 or 2 times per year. Assuming the worst [$1500 premium X 10 wins = $15,000 
 -- protection cost -- premium or $3500 -$1500 [2 X $2000] = $11,000 profit 
per 
 Strangle per year. My estimate is $7500 per Strangle could make this 
 lucrative.

hi
this sounds good in normal times
now we are in hi risk time
if you did this in third Fri of   Sep 87
and try  to cover in Fri  10/15/87  your loss would have been  drastic
an  easy way  to do this is what i do all year
i sell   DEC   825 oex calls and buy  DEC  830 calls
i sell   DEC   700puts and buy  DEC  695 puts
on a 250000  mutual  funds portfolio  i do  30  per month
and   never have to worry
(Max loss  is   15 times  500   minus  premium  collected)
this  works   9  month out of   12
