SJS, I am new to option trading so have been doing the safe thing - buying/selling calls. Currently long in Feb100's. I have been studying combo plays and would appreciate your comments on the straddle you described. 1. What are margin requirments for such a position? (i.e. how can I tell if I can afford the play?) 2. Since the wide BE range, why wouldn't everyone do this? It seems like a no-brainer. 3. Using both the Feb110 call and put gives about 16 on the spread but raises the low BE to 94. I suspect that is too risky so that is why you used the Feb90? TIA for your valuable comments, John
