UGI Corp. - UGI

Placed a straddle for UGI Aug $25. Since this expires this week its a small gamble. UGI falls within the utilities industry which as a whole is showing some strength relative to the market. This stock was up 8% on Friday alone. Ideally, those who made money on Friday will be inclined to sell off. This will provide for the best return given the underlying cost of the put option. Lets hope this makes a big move.

Order
.UGIHE UGI AUG 25 Call 1.1 BTO 7
.UGITE UGI AUG 25 Put 0 0.3 BTO 7
$1.4 x 100 x 7 = $980

So far this has not moved an inch! Floating at $25 which is the only scenario where I lose money.
