Patrick,
Yes, E*Trade wont let me spread a put at all, and I wanted to on INTC and a few others. I had the anchor in place too, so needless to say I was suprised.
On TXN, where were you when this was happening? Kevin and I and I bet a few others would have liked to known this. Being on the other side would have netted ALOT of $$$$$, tell me if anything else comes your way as far as hunches..
I dont think that MSFT will stay at these levels over the next few months, looking at the chart, last time it was at these levels was when the market was correcting. I see a return to 130-135 if the legal stuff gets taken care of, and lets be honest here, who uses IExplorer? I hate it... it is not a segment of their business that even accounts for any revenue... I put in an order to buy Feb 130's, but they will have to dip a bit.
I also have stock orders in on IOM, SCOP as well... covered call candidates, and I own a few small stocks that I think have potential.
If you have any clues on spreads, how I can do it let me know..
I really like CPQ here, it is acting nicely.. ~Lisa~
