Rose:

Here are some interesting plays on QCOM options:

1. Jan00 expiration: If you are bullish and expect than QCOM is > 192, then
buy AAOAT Jan00/200 call at 22 1/2 financed by
sell AAOMS Jan00/200 put at 30 1/2, net credit $ 8/share
anything over $ 192 closing is profit.
Risk: QCOM closes below $ 192.
Events: Nov 3rd earnings report, Y2K concern, Oct phobia,
January effect, money flowing back into the market after realizing that the impact of Y2K is minimal, election year.

2. 97% return in 15 months:
a. buy 100 shares of QCOM at 190 (or multiple thereof)
b. sell ZNOAR Jan01/190 LEAPS covered call at 53
c. sell ZNOMR Jan01/190 LEAPS naked put at 40
collect $ 93, hence your net outflow for QCOM is $ 97/share.

On Jan01 expiration:
If QCOM closes above 190, $ 93 profit on $ 97 investment or 96% in 15 months.
If QCOM closes below 190: own 200 shares with average cost of (190+97)/2 = 143 1/2 per share. So if QCOM is higher than 143 1/2 you make money.

Note: some may think that 96% return in 15 months is too low ... VBG

Good Luck trading

Paul
