Hi Doug, Yup, looks like a debit to me too. <g> I was thinking of a trade I recently did, and it just happened to create a credit......In any case, the credit or debit can be easily created, just by modifying the number of contracts bought/sold...... However, the more long calls you have, in ratio to the short calls, the more you'll make if the stock goes up. 3 to 2 is a "nice round" ratio, because you wind up with 10 long calls working for you, with (essentially) no cost except margin requirement... The one thing you need for this kind of trade to work, is stock movement and of course, enough time. Thanks for the correction, Dick
