Mike,

To do a synthetic short put on LU about strike 60, you must be quite confident the stock will fall precipitously. Why 2001 rather than 2000 leaps and what is your downside target?

On second examination, it looks that you may have managed to create something similar to a synthetic short stock position in an IRA account with long puts at a lower strike than the short calls.
