Has anyone else noticed what is going on with equity option spreads?

You can, in some cases, buy spreads out several months for the same price as a November spread!

Here's an example - the SUNW 90-100 bull spread. (Buy the 90 call, sell the 100 call).

Nov 4 5/8
Jan 4 7/8
Apr 4 5/8
Jan 01 4 5/8
Jan 02 4 5/8

I dunno if I should consider these bargains, or a big, flashing "warning" sign... :)

It suggests to me that traders are, like me, expecting an imminent disaster. probably means that, instead, the market will just continue to leak for months.
