You've become an options wizard. Why don't you put these people on to OptionVue's $50 offer so they can catch up with you--if it's possible. LOL, JG! It's not only possible, it's almost guaranteed. Anyways, all, what JohnG is referring to is the options analysis/tracking package from OptionVue Systems (www.optionvue.com). I'm not plugging it - you have to see for yourself whether it suits your needs, and at $1000+ it's not pocket money to buy it - but I will say that I'm a satisfied customer and that their $50 one-month trial is perhaps the best deal in investingdom. Even if in the end you choose not to buy after the trial, just playing with the graphing tools is a revelation, watching time decay in action, really understanding how critical volatility is in the valuation models, and seeing how various "combination" positions work together. (For example, taking something it came up with last night, I certainly would never have guessed - nor even been able to work out on my own - that at this point a diagonal credit spread in puts long Q Jan01 380s/short Apr 370s would be so theoretically profitable. Now I'm over to the tax thread to see what they think about its ramifications....<g>) Here's another post I did on one of the SI options threads a while ago that gives a bit more information on the package, and some experiences pro and con: Message 11743607 Anyways, if you do buy, tell 'em Rose sent you. <g> -Rose-
