Interesting all actions were results of 'Collars" Just so we are all on the same page let me explain what a Collar is. You create a collar by buying different Puts and Calls forming a collar around the stock price. If the price moves more than the collar, up or down you make money. If it moves a lot you make a lot. IF it fails to move outside the Collar you lose the closer it stays to Center the more you lose Every single UBS trade was the results of the collar. So as price fell they accumulated lots of shares. JMO They will sell theses shares off quickly. Obviously UDS was playing the high volitility and had no idea which would win Metrics or Emotion.

A straddle is just the opposite. The closer the SP stays to your center point the more you make. If it goes outside the price "straddle" you lose.

Both can be weighted for time and price if you think up or down or size of change. is more likely. to happen.

I have used Collars and Straddle's around End of Q and year announcements when I have no idea of what will be announced on volatile stocks. It takes some sort of program to set up either No ways I did it in my head. I used Excell with macros.

Your reply says one of two things.

1. You did not look at trade activity before posting.
2. You have no idea what a Collar is.

Either way why do you post with out doing some more research?
