I opened a 660 by 650 put credit spread a week or so ago and have been nervously watching until today. I am now hoping for a continuation of the rally into next week. I hope to close the 660 by 650 and am looking to open a 710 by 720 or 715 by 725 based on the movement and premiums.

My initial credit spread will net me a 10% return for the month, but hopefully I can do better with good movement.

I watched your plays last month and was wondering how you derived your targets for your credit spreads?

I too would like to keep this thread alive. It seemed all discussion stopped when you took your vacation.

Ken,

Welcome back from the vacation. Hope the golf courses were green, its a bad drought in NJ. As far as the thread dying, its just one of those that sleeps for a while now and then. I haven't put on any spreads this month yet and am waiting until next week for possible entry, last months cover made me gunshy a bit with too much time left open. Let us know what you see.

Good Trading

Dave

Ken,

I have been away on vacation and still am as a matter of fact for 1 more week. The credit spread has been taken up in some detail in discussions on the covered call thread.

The overlap between this thread and the covered call thread may be an opportunity to keep the discussion alive.

I have a number of 715 by 725 OEX call credit spreads that I am hoping to see expire worthless next week.

Good trading,

Dave
