carl icon rang the bell at the bottom. he's not going to do it at the top. don't wait until you get a press release saying he is out of it. some of the things to me show the declining momentum. the gaps are doing so on lesser and less volume. short interest is at a two year low. when you look at that chart right there, the price and short interest chart have gone haywire. i made a short-term bet that the stock would pull back in the next month or so. i wouldn't short this stock with your money. i'm going to define my risk and set up a structure where it's a set it and forget it trade. i bought the october 2080, 255, 230 put fly. i sold two of the october 255 puts at 230 for a total of 460 and bought one of the october 230 puts for 75 cents. between 277 and 233 i can make up to $22 with my maximum gain of 22 at 255. this is a set it and forget it trade. i'm ready to risk three to thread the needle. >> on the thread the needle trades it's harder when you use structures like this out longer in time. this makes a lot of sense to me. the last time netflix hit the

>> not past the first 15 minutes, carl, no. it might have been a little bit positive, because you are really monkeying around with the shape of the yield curve out there. you know, we don't know what will happen tomorrow, and we certainly don't know what will happen 30 years down the road. but i think the net-net is we're going to go down this path ag n again. the actual reduction in term premium so far is not that great. so that -- >> yeah, that's interesting. yeah, kevin -- >> so stability going forward, maybe we'll get more benefit from that. >> exactly. we've been talking a lot about volatility and the big moves in rates, again, relatively speaking, up and down basically all of this time going back to may. >> yeah. >> if the fed were a little worried about that, about that movement and what it means to people holding onto these assets, you're saying that yesterday didn't do a lot to fix that. in fact, it's kind of maintained the status quo. >> right. and, in fact, the only way to fix it is over time, kelly, is what i'm sayi
