Is it just me, or does this not add up? "Buy 30 Jan98 85 calls @ 11 1/8 = 33,375 Sell 20 Apr98 75 calls @ 15 3/4 = 31,500 sooooo, you recieve a CREDIT of $1875 for opening the position." Looks like a debit to me. You're paying more for the calls you buy then you're getting for the ones you sell. Pretty cheap for a deal involving 50 options on an expensive stock, but a debit nonetheless. Doug.
