Off topic: Option strategy

Using MSQCJ, March 150 Call, trading at $7 this morning.

The minimum expectation which compels me to initiate a position is to double my money in in one year with a stock, but triple it with an option. Obviously, this return must be adjusted for positions which expire in a shorter time frame.

To buy MSQCJ at $7 today, I'd expect to sell it at $7.50 March 19th. To do this, MSFT must trade above $157.50 (plus 2way expenses) sometime in the next 16 trading days. This looks possible, but not guaranteed.

Don't be greedy!

Hope this helps, PW.
