Mark,

>>> I'm long INSP, long INSP puts and short INSP calls in my retirement acct (a synthetic short if you will; no other way to short anything in a retirement acct) <<<

Does this really create a synthetic short? It appears to create a market neutral situation. Or am I missing something?

Regards,

Dave

PS. This could be a problem with active markets since the exchanges open new strikes frequently when the market moves significantly.
