Synthetic Stock Future

Buy, close to the money July puts, sell to open close to the money July calls.Partial hedge sell the next lower strike put,

Example on SUNW - stock at 72 15/16
Buy to open SUQSA for 1 5/8 Sell to open SUQGO for 7/8 (debit 3/4)
Sell to open SUQSN for 3/4 credit 3/4 (July 70 puts)

Total capital at risk - 3 transaction commissions of $75
Profit potential - $375 per set at 5 contract sets $ 1875 -$75= 1800, is stock closes at or below $70.

Risk to end up short SUNW at 75 - you can buy 77 1/2 calls to limit you loss but hurt profit
