buy back calls at $0.05

PROFIT:  $132 (in 3 days)

Comments:
The high implied volatility of NFLX kept this call premium at $0.11 most of the day even though the stock was over $4.00 OTM with just 1 day remaining until expiration. 
The call premium finally dropped to 5 cents with just 1 minute left in the trading session.


SUCCESS!
