Agreed, although I might look to increase the spread. LoF

...the probability of MSFT being over $70 in January 2002 is at least 90%... Nice post, BP. Shows how you can double your money with an inexpensive spread. As a PUT seller, if I agree with your forecast, I could sell the MSFT Jan02 70's for 12.5. This would require no outlay of cash and could get me better than twice the return of the spread. If I wanted to be more conservative, could sell the Jan02 55's for 5 and get the same return as the spread (but 15 points safer). Just another way to skin the cat. Options sure provide a choice for all. Tom
