Lisa. An example of a "zero cost method" would be shorting April 100 calls on MSFT, taking the cash and buying April 105 calls. Since the stock yo-yos, you have the potential of making $$$ on swings either way (if you get in at the right time). When the stock goes up, sell your 105 calls for more $$$. When the stock drops, buy back your 100 calls at a cheaper price than you sold them for. In a happy world, you just made cash without laying a penny on the table.

David...would you agree?
