This morning's copy of Barron's has a nice piece by Lawrence McMillan on the advantages of calendar spreads in a low volatility market like this one. If I understand the argument correctly, it works by buying cheap in a low volatility market and selling dear in a higher one. But I've got to go read the McMillan chapter on same and create some excel charts before I can claim to understand the argument. However, as presented by McMillan, it looks fairly simple.

I'm reluctant to post it since my guess is Barron's wants you to pay for their financial advice.

Here, however, is the link to Barron's. I think you will need a userid, a password, and the willingness to contribute a couple of dollars a month to their charity. Or, hmmm, you could step down the street to your local newstand and pick up a copy. Nahh.
