Good to see that other folks are interested in this strategy. I would like to find out what stocks are good candidates for straddles, combinations. I am looking for the following criteria:
-Volatility
-Relative expensive
-Growth Companies
-High profile companies
-Plenty of volume on the options

Once we narrow down our selection, it would be nice to pick a handful of companies where we could play straddles.

I look forward to some high quality discussion on this thread, and let us all make some money.

Currently, I am interested in INTC, DELL, CPQ, GTW as straddle plays. I particularly like DELL becuase it seems to have moved to far ahead if itself and could be in for a rather large correction if the sector takes a downturn.
