### Comment:
Can you link your positions? I'm actually curious what some of the straddles on here entail? Did you straddle FDs? Did you straddle Jun 19? Neither of those plays is actually great but people talk about their straddles like it's a safe play

### REPLY:
The big brain play is long dated straddles - you can defend positions by selling calendar spreads against them and you really only lose on sideways trades 
  
 That said, with volatility lately you probably could be safe straddling anything with earnings and p/e over 100 (CRM comes to mind)
