Despite the Sturm und Drang of the markets as the U.S.-China tariff war heats up, my six positions remain within their profit ranges. The options positions are all short iron condors with the short calls and puts set as close to a 20 delta at entry as the grid would allow. The stock symbols corresponding to my options positions, with links to the analyses, are  CGC, IYR, UNH, XBI, XLB and XOP.

Note the weekend post on the Implied Volatility Rank metric.
