for those very bullish on intc, the 130/145 spread can be purchased at roughly 6 1/2 (which is intc=136 1/2). you pay a small premium (1 1/8) But, if intc comes out with good to great news, 145 is an easy target an you make $15,000 on a $6500 investment.

TO ALL: any thoughts?

TO JACK: I am long sveral thousands shares of intc at a price of approx. 65 or so. with so much news cooming out oer the next three weeks, the above strategy allows one to capture upside while limiting downside at a cost of 1 1/8, what do you think of the idea of selling the intc on Jan 2 and buying the above call spread (assuming it is still available for a similar premium)?
