JADE LIZARD TRADE IDEA.
The idea of a jade lizard is to sell an out of the money put below the price, and sell a call credit spread above the price. The premium from the short put needs to be sufficient to cover the max loss of the call credit spread. And in doing so, there is no risk to the upside (still have to close the trade however). This is a trade idea on the neutral-to-bullish spectrum. The rumor is that congress is going to pass more pro-grass legislation before the change-over in the house.
