One Big Winner and One Loser
The title says it all.
The Google positions originated a gain of 41.39%. Volatility started to increase just after I opened the positions. The timing was very good.

USG produced a good 24.5% gain after a couple of days of churning.

The RAI postions lost 14.07%. Instead of the October contracts like with GOOG and USG, here I used November contracts. They are obviously not liquid and their price did not act as it should have.

These charts show the October contracts at the same strike price. They are much more liquid.
