Listener questions:

• Question from Meravol - Interesting piece in current Modern Trader about selling breakeven strangles. Have you seen? What are your thoughts of this technique? Is it me or are there new techniques for selling strangles all the time that always tend to blow out? Are you not better off selling IC or IB due to limited risk? http://www.futuresmag.com/2016/08/23/strangles-breakeven-pricing
