Here's some new constructs da dudes should float for the betterment of the mankind

dummy spread: sell a call with strike X and due date Y. Buy a call with the same strike, same due date. Beauty of the construct: absolutely no risk - just the transaction costs

dummy call writes: when you dont write calls.In this case you dont even have to pay the transaction costs!You may be tempted to go for a dummy spread in this vein. However a) dummy spread is already taken (see above) and b) how cheap can you get...

ZeroStrike Immediates: puts with zero strike and the due date "right now". Have beautiful delta of 1, no (more) problems with tau. Just European version (unfortunately), but who cares. An arabesk on top of it: going in naked means you will SHORT - just think, the beauty of it, two things in one single transaction!

American-style spread : peanut butter sur le bun, laced with genuine Saskatchewan hors-d'hoevre

European-style spread: Heinz ketchup on a Big Mac bun - no beef pls
